- best months
Spaniard Creek is a river fishing spot in Oklahoma, about 2 miles from the town of McLain. The land is managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, and the site is not reservable, so anglers can plan a trip without booking a spot in advance. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to fish. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Muskogee show April highs around 72°F and October highs around 74°F, while July and August average about 92°F. Brewers Bend, another river fishing location, lies about 5 miles away, and Greenleaf Lake offers lake fishing roughly 7 miles from the creek.
