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).
