Licenses, access and what to check
An Ohio fishing license is required at age 16 and older unless exempt. Buy the ordinary license directly.
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.
Why this is included: 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.
Source checked 2026-10-07. Agency entry or reservation; no Back40 booking fee.
What “no lottery” means. It applies to the species and access described, not every hunt on that property. Seasons, licenses, check-in, closures and capacity still apply. Public access does not reserve an exclusive spot. Check the agency’s current rules before travel. Back40 does not sell public-land access.
How we build this database
We match named agency areas and maps with ordinary-license species rules and area-specific exceptions. Each record has a source-check date. Records requiring an access or species drawing, unresolved access, and reviews older than 90 days stay out of search. This is a trip-planning database, not a live availability feed.
