License and access permit
An Ohio fishing license is required at age 16 and older unless exempt. Buy the ordinary license directly.
When you can go
Use the official area rules for current species seasons, legal hours and any area-specific closures. This record does not confirm access for a particular date.
Area restrictions
Use mapped public shoreline and pier access. Current Wingfoot black-bass rules: daily three; release fish between 14 and 20 inches; at most two under 14 inches and one at least 20 inches. Check posted access conditions.
Plan with the official agency
The agency identifies this named water for ordinary public recreational fishing. The cited rules use a directly purchased fishing license or lake permit, rather than a draw, for the listed fish. This classification excludes special events and camping reservations.
No lottery is required for the described access and species. Other hunts on the same property may require a drawing. Check current seasons, closures, check-in and capacity before traveling; open access does not reserve an exclusive spot.
