How to Become a Fishing Guide in Pennsylvania

Fishing guides in Pennsylvania can take out groups of people who want to fish and show them where good spots are and teach them what techniques to use. Fishing guides need to comply with state, federal and local laws and make sure that their passengers comply with the same laws. The Pennsylvania Boat and Fish Commission can take away a fishing guide's license if he breaks any rules. Fishing guides must be over the age of 16.

Instructions

    1 Apply for a fishing guide permit from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Fill out the form provided by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. Submit the form with the application fee ($100 for residents, and $400 for non-residents, as of 2010).
    2 Take a course in boat safety. At the completion of the course, you will earn a boating safety education certificate from the PFBC. You can check their website for information about the boat safety courses (see Resources).
    3 Maintain a general liability insurance policy, which usually covers bodily Injury, property damage liability and medical payments. The minimum amount for the policy coverage is $250,000. You must have proof of your coverage.
    4 Get certified in CPR and first aid. The PFBC requires to keep your certification current, and you should carry proof of your certification at all times. Having an up-to-date CPR and first aid certification will ensure that you are capable of being in charge in case you encounter accidents during your fishing tours.
    5 Obtain a valid fishing license. You also need stamps and permits for all the waters that you intend to fish in. You can get a copy of the application form online from the PFBC website (see Resources).
    6 Renew your fishing guide permit by the end of every calendar year. You will need to send in a completed renewal form and an application fee.
    7 Advertise your fishing guide business. Put an ad in local travel guides, newspapers and fishing goods stores in Pennsylvania. Tell people that you are licensed to perform fishing tours and ask them to tell their friends about your business.
