Lower Mountain Fork River is a public river in McCurtain 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 marquee water.
An Oklahoma trout tailwater (the Lower Mountain Fork below Broken Bow Dam, the Lower Illinois below Tenkiller) — cold year-round water stocked heavily with rainbow trout plus holdover browns, with catch-and-release and artificial-only special-regulation zones; the state's only true trout fisheries alongside the Blue River.
It runs roughly 15 miles through the Choctaw Country (Southeast Oklahoma) region. Anglers here mostly fish for rainbow trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Broken Bow Reservoir and Oknoname 089006 Reservoir.

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: A Trout Licence is required in addition to your fishing licence to fish Oklahoma's designated trout areas (Lower Mountain Fork, Lower Illinois, Blue River and some city lakes in winter), several of which have catch-and-release and artificial-only zones. Check the current Oklahoma Fishing Guide.
Camping: 4 sites mapped nearby — Dogwood Campground, Elm Campground, Hickory Campground, Grapevine Campground.

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.
