Four fishing ponds within in the Oden Ranger District are stocked with catfish, bass and bream. Story Pond is a 7-acre pond with two earthern piers which extend out into the water, making much of the ponds surface fishable from the shoreline. Macedonia Pond is a 6 acre pond with fish structures such as stumps, tire reefs and whole trees placed in the pond to improve fishing. Three earthen piers expand the pond's shoreline. Dogwoods and other flowering trees surround the small 1.5 acre Rifle Range Pond. Stumps and dead tress have been placed in the pond to improve fishing conditions. Located in a secluded forest setting, 1.5 acre John Burns Pond also offers excellent fishing opportunities.

Two ponds in the Womble Ranger District are the place to go for channel catfish. This pond connects with the 27-mile Womble Trail.

In addition to ponds, a number of lakes within the forest offer fishing opportunities; Kulli Lake (7 acres), Shady Lake (scenic 25 acre lake in a remote mountain setting), Lake Sylvia (beautiful 16 acre lake nestled in the mountains), Little Pines (1,000 acres), Cedar Lake (90 acres), and Lake Ouachita.
