What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oklahoma licenses commercial fishing through the Department of Wildlife Conservation under the Wildlife Conservation Code (Title 29). For certain commercial fishing licenses — particularly under special management or research conditions — the Wildlife Conservation Commission can require a $1,000 surety bond.
The bond is conditioned on compliance with the Wildlife Conservation Code, and is subject to forfeiture upon conviction of a violation of the code's provisions. In plain terms, it backs your promise to follow the commercial fishing rules.
The bond requirement is not blanket — it applies when the Commission imposes it, not to every licensee automatically. If your license paperwork calls for the $1,000 bond, we issue it at a flat 3% (the $275 minimum) with no credit check.
