Polecat Creek flows through both Creek and Tulsa Counties in northeastern Oklahoma, spanning approximately 370 square miles as it winds eastward from its headwaters between Drumright and Oilton to its confluence with the Arkansas River in Jenks. This fifth-order stream passes through Heyburn Reservoir and the city of Sapulpa, offering diverse fishing opportunities in a watershed drained by 237 miles of rivers, streams, and creeks. The creek flows through the Cross Timbers ecoregion, featuring a mix of agricultural, urban, and industrial landscapes with some of Oklahoma's oldest oil fields along its banks. While the watershed encompasses primarily Creek County (87%) and Tulsa County (12%), anglers find productive fishing throughout its entire length.
