The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife will release 84,000 rainbow trout in 88 lakes and ponds around the state beginning Thursday, March 16 and going through May.
In our region, some of lakes being stocked are in Allen, Auglaize, Hancock and Marion Counties.
Stockings of these public lakes and ponds are excellent opportunities for families to fish together.
Fishing for catchable-sized trout is a great way to introduce young people to the outdoors.
Rainbow trout are raised at state fish hatcheries and measure 10-13 inches before they are released by the ODNR Division of Wildlife.
The daily harvest limit for inland lakes is five trout per angler.
