mstewart. They now have a non resident 6 day for $35.00. The $10.00 trout stamp is no more. But the non resident fishing is now $55.00. It looks like a huge increase from the $42.00 it was last year but if you purchased a trout stamp as well you were paying $52.00. So It isn't that huge of an increase. Also Texoma Lic is $12.00.

Those of you that did buy a lifetime fishing I only just now discovered OK enacted a "conservation passport" for $26 a year if you want to enter or fish at any of Oklahoma's WMAs. With the lifetime fishing, you are exempt from purchasing the conservation passport.
