Fishing Licenses

Lake Texoma Has a Special Fishing License That Covers Both States

Because Lake Texoma straddles the Texas-Oklahoma border, a special low-cost license lets you fish the whole lake without needing two state licenses.

Grayson County The Great Outdoors

About two-thirds of Lake Texoma is in Oklahoma. A regular Texas fishing license only covers the Texas portion. If you want to fish the whole lake, you can buy a Lake Texoma license instead. As of the most recent TPWD information, that license cost $12 and was valid through December 31 of the year you bought it.

The lake also has special bag and size limits for several species, so check the current TPWD fishing regulations before you go. Zebra mussels are established in Texoma, so you must drain all water from your boat, livewells, and bait buckets before leaving the lake. This is a Texas law, not just a suggestion.
