Eligible Fishing Waters
BE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND ELIGIBLE WATER!
*At its most basic definition, eligible water is anything in Ohio that is accessible to everyone. Accessible means it is legal, open to everyone, and
does not require special permission that isn't available to everyone.
Eligible water includes anything owned by the government (park system, city, township, county, state, federal, ODNR) where fishing is permitted. This also includes Ohio waterways designated as rivers or creeks.
*Privately owned water is eligible under certain circumstances. It must be accessible by anyone without special permissions, deals, agreements, or backdoor handshakes from the owner. Anyone should have access to fish the body of water.
*Public and Private water that require permits are eligible if....
>The permit can be obtained by all.
>The permit can be obtained between April 5-7.
>Documentation is shown online on how the permit can be obtained.
>Examples of bodies of water that fall into this category include AEP.
​
*All laws, rules, and regulations must be followed while fishing the body of water. For example, if a body of water allows fishing only during daylight hours then any fish caught outside of that period would not be eligible and cause for immediate disqualification.
​
Examples:
*AEP is privately owned. Everyone can obtain a permit by going to their website and printing one off. AEP is eligible.
*The Wilds is privately owned. It takes special permissions to fish their water. Not everyone can obtain this permission. The Wilds is not eligible.
*Private lakes where you must be a property owner or a friend of a property owner, etc is not eligible because if you don't 'know somebody' you are not able to access them. Examples of lakes that fall into this category include Lake Wynoka, Shawnee Lake, Lake Lakengren, Lake Lorelei, etc.
