A fishing license is required to take fish from Ohio waters.


Persons fishing in privately owned ponds, lakes, or reservoirs that are open to public fishing through an agreement or lease with the ODNR Division of Wildlife are required to have a fishing license.

Persons fishing must have their license in their possession while fishing and must show the license to anyone on request. Licenses can be displayed using a mobile device.

Members of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty stationed in Ohio, but not on leave or furlough are required to purchase a resident license.


Annual fishing licenses are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase. Annual and multiyear fishing licenses are valid from the date of purchase until the expiration date printed on the license.

A complete list of license options and prices for fishing can be found in the current Ohio Fishing Regulations. 


Ohio State Fishing Regulations

Make sure to check Ohio's state fishing regulations which are available on Ohio Department of Natural Resources website. There you can find complete and up-to-date information as well as links to purchase your license online.
