To operate as a fishing guide in Oregon, individuals must obtain a valid Oregon fishing guide license from the Oregon State Marine Board. The license is required for anyone who receives compensation for guiding anglers on Oregon waters.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old and possess current first aid and CPR certifications. Additional requirements include passing a written examination covering Oregon fishing regulations, navigation rules, and safety procedures.
The application process involves submitting completed forms, providing proof of insurance, and paying the required fees. License fees vary depending on the type of guiding services offered and the duration of the license.
Renewal applications must be submitted annually, and guides must maintain compliance with all state regulations throughout their licensing period. Failure to maintain proper licensing can result in significant penalties and suspension of guiding privileges. |
