Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Ohio. Some state-park lakes, city reservoirs and MWCD lakes have posted hours or seasonal closures, and a few beaches close at dusk — check the property rules for this water.
Boats: Horsepower and speed limits are set per lake in Ohio — many are 10 hp, electric-motor-only or no-wake, while the big Corps and border reservoirs are unlimited. MWCD lakes need their own launch permit. Check the ODNR listing for this water.
Bank & bivvy camping: Camp at Ohio state parks (reserve ahead), the MWCD lake campgrounds, Corps campgrounds and AEP ReCreation Land (free permit). Dispersed bank camping is not permitted on ODNR wildlife areas — they are day-use for fishing.
Tackle: Statewide daily limits: 6 black bass, 6 walleye/saugeye (4 on Lake Erie in most zones), 30 crappie, 4 muskellunge (1) — many lakes have their own bass slot or length limits. Lake Erie has its own regulation booklet. Check the current Ohio fishing regulations for this water.
