Licensed Oklahoma Fishing Guides

If you're not having the kind of fishing luck you would like, why not look to a professional. The Oklahoma Department Wildlife Conservation now requires fishing guides to be licensed, and the organization maintains a list of the professional, licensed Oklahoma fishing guides that can help you find the best places to fish.

A fishing guide application, available online, requires information on a guide's primary waters worked as well as proof of completion of National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) boat safety training for guides that operate in a boat. Also required is CPR and Basic First Aid certification by American Red Cross, or equivalent. Therefore, you know you're in capable hands.

The official list of Oklahoma fishing guides is located at:

Updated regularly, it is alphabetized by waters fished and includes guide business name and telephone number.
