Pennsylvania guide and charter permit holders

515 Pennsylvania listings: 369 fishing guides, 79 charters, 66 fly fishing guides and 1 offshore charters. Most come from the PFBC list of permitted charter boats and fishing guides, which gives the business name, town, phone and website; the rest are Yellow Pages guide listings. Listings are grouped by the county of business, and mailing addresses are left off because many are homes.
