All sport fish guiding businesses and individual sport fishing guides operating in Alaska waters must obtain a current annual registration.
- Registrations are good for both freshwater and saltwater.
Both sport fish guiding businesses and individual sport fishing guides must register separately; however, if the owner of the business is also a guide, or the only guide, they do not need to register twice.
See information on the Business and Guide Registration page for specific requirements.
