The Little Washita River is situated generally between Chickasha and Lawton in southwestern Oklahoma. [1] Its watershed comprises about 236 square miles (611 square kilometers) over parts of Caddo, Comanche, and Grady counties. [2] [1] The Little Washita is a tributary of the Washita River, [1] and joins that watercourse southeast of Chickasha. [3] The Washita River then drains into the Red River on the Oklahoma-Texas border. [1]

Popular species of fish caught in the Little Washita include Blue catfish, Channel catfish, and Longnose gar. [4]
