Idaho is required by law to print some hard copies but we post .pdf versions and use of the pdf has been increasing over time. Seattle Times printing produces our hardcopies.

Hello from Ohio!
We both print and post a pdf online. Who does the printing varies year to year because we have to bid it out.
Cheers,

Hello everyone from Alaska,
I’m happy to share what we’re doing here in Alaska from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Sport Fish.
Printed vs. Online Guides
* We print four regional sport fishing regulation books each cycle: Northern, Southcentral, Southeast, and Southwest.
* PDFs are available online<https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fishregulations.sport>, and regulations are also accessible through the ADF&G mobile app<https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=home.mobile_app>.
* We communicate updates through social media, email subscriptions, press releases, and emergency order notifications. Emergency orders are posted online<https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/sf/EONR/> and shared on social throughout the season.
* We also create and share informational videos.
* Our Division of Wildlife Conservation prints one hard-copy regulation book annually, with supplements as needed, and provides PDF and app versions.
* Because of Alaska’s size and connectivity challenges in some communities, we continue to offer both print and digital formats. Preferences vary, some anglers prefer a hard copy, while others rely on the app or PDFs, and we want to make sure anglers can access sport fishing regulations in the format that works best for them.
Print Quantities & Production
* Print quantities are adjusted each cycle. Each fall, I coordinate with regional offices to estimate needs, and they check with local businesses that distribute the books to help project demand.
* All design and layout work is done in-house. I work closely with regional coordinators, area managers, assistant managers, information officers, front desk staff (work the closet with the public) and technicians to incorporate Board of Fisheries changes.
* Our books follow the Board of Fisheries regulatory cycle and are typically printed by March/April. Covers note that they are effective until the next summary book is issued.
* We use a local printing company, Anchorage Printing. Contracts are bid periodically, typically every five years. I provide press-ready PDFs, review color proofs, and attend press checks to confirm color accuracy, map and text alignment, and final edits before signing off.
* The printer delivers to our offices, where vendors pick up, and ships to other ADF&G offices by barge or plane
I hope this is helpful.
Have a great day,

Hi all from weather-confusion Nebraska, where it was 75 degrees yesterday, and will be snowing tomorrow!
* We still print our Fishing Guide (regulations) – and just changed to a larger size format (a little under 8.5” x 11”) with the 2026 version. (previous version was 5.5” x 8.5”.) the larger size allowed for better readability, more content, more ad sales.
* We do have it in digital format online – as a flipbook – on our website. It can be accessed there or downloaded to a computer/mobile device.
* Not sure what our anglers prefer…..they are not often in agreement on anything. 😊
* The number we print varies; we are printing a few less each year, trying to print just enough to not run out, but not recycle any, either.
* We do not work with a vendor – we send out a printing RFP every 3-5 years that results in a multi-year printing contract for printing all our guides (fishing, small game hunting & waterfowl, big game, turkey, state parks).
* We do sell advertising in all of these (just starting on the state park version); we have a contracted individual that sells these ads for us, along with advertising in our agency magazine, Nebraskaland.
Hope this is helpful.

Good Morning from snow covered Reno, Nevada!
We still print our fishing guide (and two other publications) along with a PDF link and the e-regulations website, all with Kalkomey (previously J.F. Griffin).
And yes, we were neck deep in a publication when Kalkomey made the recent change in personnel. Our contacts are now Greg Gulliver (ggul...@kalkomey.com<mailto:ggulliver@kalkomey.com>) and Kellie Pence (kpe...@kalkomey.com<mailto:kpence@kalkomey.com>).

Hi from New Jersey
We still print our Freshwater Fishing Digest and our Marine Digest (as well as our Hunting & Trapping Digest). The number of copies printed depends on the number of ads sold for each digest. We seem to never have enough.
Kalkomey is our vendor for all 3 digests, and it was J.F. Griffin before that. We make all the changes and work with their designers to incorporate those changes.
We also place the same copy on our website as a high-res PDF. We break each digest down into segments to make it easier for our constituents to find what they need/want. There is also an eRegs link placed on the page where the PDF is found.
Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,
How do you communicate fishing regulations to the public in your state?
Maryland DNR is currently reviewing how we deliver fishing regulations. I’d love to hear about your state’s experience with the following:
Printed vs. Online Guides: Do you still print guides? If you’ve moved to digital-only, how did the public react?
Vendors: Do you use any vendor other than Kalkomey for printed or online guides?
Digital Formats: Which digital format works best for your anglers (PDF, in-house website, eregulations website, or an app)?
Any insight or experience you're willing to share is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sinclair

* Our Division of Wildlife Conservation prints one hard-copy regulation book annually, with supplements as needed, and provides PDF and app versions.
* Because of Alaska’s size and connectivity challenges in some communities, we continue to offer both print and digital formats. Preferences vary, some anglers prefer a hard copy, while others rely on the app or PDFs, and we want to make sure anglers can access sport fishing regulations in the format that works best for them.
Print Quantities & Production
* Print quantities are adjusted each cycle. Each fall, I coordinate with regional offices to estimate needs, and they check with local businesses that distribute the books to help project demand.
* All design and layout work is done in-house. I work closely with regional coordinators, area managers, assistant managers, information officers, front desk staff (work the closet with the public) and technicians to incorporate Board of Fisheries changes.
* Our books follow the Board of Fisheries regulatory cycle and are typically printed by March/April. Covers note that they are effective until the next summary book is issued.
* We use a local printing company, Anchorage Printing. Contracts are bid periodically, typically every five years. I provide press-ready PDFs, review color proofs, and attend press checks to confirm color accuracy, map and text alignment, and final edits before signing off.
* The printer delivers to our offices, where vendors pick up, and ships to other ADF&G offices by barge or plane
I hope this is helpful.
Have a great day,

Hello everyone from Alaska, I’m happy to share what we’re doing here in Alaska from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Sport Fish.
Printed vs. Online Guides
* We print four regional sport fishing regulation books each cycle: Northern, Southcentral, Southeast, and Southwest.
* PDFs are available online [adfg.alaska.gov]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fishregulations.sport__;!!GaaboA!s2WHX_rmqlciKvBbQSK-gbo_DqpE4u6CezL7NdmoqJdnJr5wTcfV3LGN_N0Q_oL3acKOSmZZKy2-C5m5RIrlrXd84DV4tGA5CW8$>, and regulations are also accessible through the ADF&G mobile app [adfg.alaska.gov]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=home.mobile_app__;!!GaaboA!s2WHX_rmqlciKvBbQSK-gbo_DqpE4u6CezL7NdmoqJdnJr5wTcfV3LGN_N0Q_oL3acKOSmZZKy2-C5m5RIrlrXd84DV4C67BkQY$>.
* We communicate updates through social media, email subscriptions, press releases, and emergency order notifications. Emergency orders are posted online [adfg.alaska.gov]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/sf/EONR/__;!!GaaboA!s2WHX_rmqlciKvBbQSK-gbo_DqpE4u6CezL7NdmoqJdnJr5wTcfV3LGN_N0Q_oL3acKOSmZZKy2-C5m5RIrlrXd84DV42rdHgp4$> and shared on social throughout the season.

Hi all from weather-confusion Nebraska, where it was 75 degrees yesterday, and will be snowing tomorrow!
* We still print our Fishing Guide (regulations) – and just changed to a larger size format (a little under 8.5” x 11”) with the 2026 version. (previous version was 5.5” x 8.5”.) the larger size allowed for better readability, more content, more ad sales.
* We do have it in digital format online – as a flipbook – on our website. It can be accessed there or downloaded to a computer/mobile device.
* Not sure what our anglers prefer…..they are not often in agreement on anything. ??
* The number we print varies; we are printing a few less each year, trying to print just enough to not run out, but not recycle any, either.
* We do not work with a vendor – we send out a printing RFP every 3-5 years that results in a multi-year printing contract for printing all our guides (fishing, small game hunting & waterfowl, big game, turkey, state parks).
* We do sell advertising in all of these (just starting on the state park version); we have a contracted individual that sells these ads for us, along with advertising in our agency magazine, Nebraskaland.
Hope this is helpful.

Same with New Jersey – we were just about finished with one, and we found out about the change.
Same points of contact that Aaron mentioned.

Good Morning from snow covered Reno, Nevada!
We still print our fishing guide (and two other publications) along with a PDF link and the e-regulations website, all with Kalkomey (previously J.F. Griffin).
And yes, we were neck deep in a publication when Kalkomey made the recent change in personnel. Our contacts are now Greg Gulliver (ggul...@kalkomey.com<mailto:ggulliver@kalkomey.com>) and Kellie Pence (kpe...@kalkomey.com<mailto:kpence@kalkomey.com>).

Hi from New Jersey
We still print our Freshwater Fishing Digest and our Marine Digest (as well as our Hunting & Trapping Digest). The number of copies printed depends on the number of ads sold
