" C L O S E T O H O M E " F I S H I N G

Looking for a nearby lake or pond to fish?
Through agreements between Oklahoma municipalities and the Wildlife Department, these
areas offer convenient “Close to Home” fishing opportunities in metro areas.
Close-to-Home Fishing waters have the following restrictions:
• Fishing is limited to no more than three rods and reels per person, with no more than three
hooks per line (treble hooks are considered one hook). No other fishing methods are allowed.
• All largemouth bass must be released (returned to the water) immediately after being caught;
no harvest is allowed.
• Channel catfish and blue catfish have a combined daily limit of six; only one blue catfish over
30 inches may be kept.
• No netting of any kind (including castnetting) is permitted.
For all other species, consult the statewide regulations.
