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.

Anyone 16 or older needs an Ohio fishing licence — resident annual is about $25, non-resident annual about $51, and 1-day and 3-day licences are also sold. There is no separate trout stamp. Buy online or in the HuntFish OH app from the Ohio Division of Wildlife. This is a city water-supply reservoir open for fishing — some (e.g. Findlay) require a cheap city fishing/boating permit in addition to the state licence. Check with the water department.
