Eufaula Lake is the largest reservoir in Oklahoma (about 105,500 acres) and ODWC's documented destination crappie, white bass, catfish, and Florida-largemouth fishery with a 14-inch black-bass special and 20-crappie daily limit. inlandHasCompleteStaticFisheryValue passes on official ODWC fishery, access, and regulations. No same-lake live USGS 00010 exists; USACE elevation/air temperature is not lake thermal under LAKE-STATIC-VALUE-POLICY-1. This is not Alabama/Georgia Walter F. George Lake Eufaula, not Tenkiller pool, and not Texoma. HIGH plus PATH B does not auto-approve; public catalog-visible Unavailable is approved because this is the destination-specific Oklahoma Canadian River Eufaula pin whose honest Unavailable plus complete static Fishery is useful independently of Texoma, Grand Lake, Tenkiller, and Broken Bow. This justification is Eufaula-specific and does not copy Tenkiller or Broken Bow prose.
