The Ohio Wildlife Council passed rules to modify the fish fillet rule and other fish and wildlife rules, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.
Fillets must be kept whole until an angler reaches his or her permanent residence or until the fish are prepared for immediate consumption. There will be no requirement to keep skin on the fillets. This rule will not apply to anglers with a receipt from a fish cleaning house or charter captain, which states the date, number and species of fish.
