Fishing has always been the great part of the old west. It is truly every cowboy and cowgirl's leisure hobby. The many farm and ranch ponds and spring-fed creeks around Freedom play host to several fishing tournaments big and small during the spring and summer months. Fishing is one of the better ways to "get close to nature". Contact the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Woodward office at 580-254-9173 for license information.
This ongoing tradition began way back in the year 1939, when members of the Freedom Chamber of Commerce decided to sponsor a reunion and chuck wagon feed in honor of the old time cowhands of this vast area who braved the perils and hardships of the range in search of their fortune.
