What this list is
ODNR publishes this list as a PDF. Each line gives a guide's name, business name, phone number and guide type (boat, ice, kayak or shore). It doesn't say which port a guide works from, so these guides appear here A–Z and in search, not on port pages.
Guides choose whether to be listed when they apply. A guide who isn't on the list may still hold an Ohio license, so ask to see it.
Ohio guide licenses expire every April 15, so each entry's badge shows the date of the list it came from.
Is this you?
Guides on this list can claim their entry to add ports, boats, rates and a website ($49 a year), or remove it for free.
