jason405 is the fly fisherman on the video - tagging him so he can jump in with some advice I've never fished the WMAs, but it does look like a lot of cool water to explore!

Hey Warden,
Solitude is right. When we were filming that, we didn't see another person the entire day. The creeks and the Glover river was the funnest part for me. The ponds are best fished in the morning and evening. Like he says in the video, get a map and email them for a list of GPS coordinates and you can spend a day and not see a quarter of whats out there. You really need a GPS to find a lot of the ponds and just to help you find your way out. There are hundreds of miles of road back in there and not a single sign. A GPS will really be handy.
One word of caution. You will want long pants and if you have it, I would bring at least a .22. I have never seen more water moccasins in my entire life. Just watch were you step.
Get out there and have fun!
Jason

Thanks Jason, I've been thinking about getting a handheld GPS, but I don't have one yet. What's the cell coverage like on the WMA's? I looked at ATT's coverage map and that may be their weakest spot in Oklahoma.

If I take at least a .22 into the place and the other license holders bring in their at least a .22 to blast snakes it brings in a new self protection aspect to the fishing I may be sensitive too. I'd rather put up with the snakes than dodging bullets skipping across the water. The snakes are a part of the natural environment we wish to visit, so is it up to us to kill them ?
Actually I like the idea of watching where you step and long pants will help as well. Ticks scare me more than the snakes.
