7 public waters in the Frontier Country (Central Oklahoma) region — 2 lakes/reservoirs and 5 rivers. Every one is public water fishable on a Oklahoma licence.
See every public fishing venue in Oklahoma on the map, with boat ramps, camping, parking and full rules for each one.
IMPORTANT — likely a name mismatch: there is no 'Great Salt Lake' in Oklahoma. This record's size (~8,360 acres) and location match Great Salt Plains Lake on the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River near Jet/Cherokee, OK, a shallow, naturally saline lake beside Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge. Recommend the venue name be corrected. ODWC stocks channel catfish and saugeye; sand bass and hybrid striper are also caught.
