Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Oklahoma; some city lakes and state parks post their own hours, and the trout areas have specific seasonal and catch-and-release zones — check the current Oklahoma Fishing Guide.
Boats: Oklahoma's big Corps reservoirs (Eufaula, Texoma, Grand, Kerr, Keystone, Oologah, Broken Bow) all have multiple public ramps and take any size boat; city lakes and small ODWC lakes are often electric-only or small-craft.
Bank & bivvy camping: Camp at the Corps and state-park campgrounds on most of the big lakes (Beavers Bend on Broken Bow, Lake Murray, Lake Texoma, Robbers Cave); ODWC access areas are day-use only.
Tackle: Statewide black bass, crappie and catfish limits apply unless posted; the trout areas and several reservoirs carry length limits, slot limits and special-regulation zones. Check the current Oklahoma Fishing Guide for this water.

Anyone 16 to 64 needs an Oklahoma fishing licence — the resident annual is about $25, the non-resident annual about $85 (with non-resident 1-day (~$15) and 6-day (~$35) options). A Trout Licence (about $14) is required to fish the designated trout areas (Lower Mountain Fork, Lower Illinois, Blue River and a handful of city lakes in winter). Oklahoma residents 65 and older and anyone under 16 fish free. Lake Texoma needs its own combined OK/TX licence. Buy from ODWC at gooutdoorsoklahoma.com. An Oklahoma fishing licence covers this water (a Trout Licence is also needed in the designated trout areas; Lake Texoma has its own combined OK/TX licence).
