Good news, the Lake Erie Charter 1-Day Fishing License will be available starting April 14. This is a new license that will allow customers to purchase the license in advance of an anglers scheduled trip, but wait to validate the license until they are at the dock and know for sure that they are going out that day. To validate the license, anglers sign it and fill in the date once at the dock or on the boat. If however, the trip gets cancelled, anglers keep the un-validated license until they are able to re-schedule and actually make it out fishing. This license will be available at licenses agent sales locations and on-line at wildohio.com. Cost is $11.00

Also, 1-day and 3-day fishing licenses (via phone) will also be available starting April 14. These licenses are available by phone with an additional convenience fee of $5.50. A confirmation number will be provided allowing anglers to fish without a printed license. A toll-free number 1-866-703-1928 can be used to purchase 1-day and 3-day fishing licenses.
