Fourche Maline River is a public river in Latimer County, Le Flore County and Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, managed by State of Oklahoma (public / navigable water). You can fish it on an Oklahoma fishing licence (a Trout Licence is also needed on the designated trout areas; Lake Texoma has its own combined OK/TX licence). Most bank access on Oklahoma rivers is at bridge crossings and Corps or ODWC public accesses; away from those the bank may be private, so check current signage. Public access confirmed via public-trust river.
A western Oklahoma prairie river (the Red, Canadian, North Canadian, Cimarron, Washita, Arkansas) — wide, sandy, often braided flow: blue, flathead and channel catfish, white bass and sand bass, and freshwater drum. Best fished from the bank at bridge crossings and public accesses.
It runs roughly 38 miles through the Choctaw Country (Southeast Oklahoma) region. Anglers here mostly fish for blue catfish, flathead catfish, channel catfish, white bass; sand bass, freshwater drum are also on record. Live flow and gauge height come from the Fourche Maline near Red Oak, OK USGS station shown below. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Lloyd Church Lake and Coon Creek Lake.

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; prairie rivers are bank-fished at bridge crossings and the trout tailwaters are wade or drift access.
Bank & bivvy camping: Camp at the Corps and state-park campgrounds on 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.
