Ohio is home to some excellent fishing spots. With all the water in the state, you're likely to find that you can go almost anywhere and catch great fish. If you're a resident of Ohio, it's likely that you know a terrific fishing spot or 2 , but if you are new to fishing then you are going to need to know where some good places are.
Rivers
If you are near a river, you should find that this is a good place to do some fishing. You should be aware of what you catch and eat, because some of the fish you will catch are not safe for consumption, but if you are in it for the sport, or know what you are fishing for, you may catch a fair meal.
Also, consider doing some fly fishing in the Ohio River or any of the many others in the area. The Ohio Valley is full of flowing waterways and since you are allowed to fish year round in many areas, it may be amusing to see what the colder waters of spring offer.
Lakes
Additional popular fishing areas are lakes & Ohio has plenty of them to offer. The state of Ohio literally has lakes all over the place. This is good news for you if you are looking for a small area to fish or something nearby. Keep the rules and regulations in mind when you're fishing though & ensure that you pay attention to the guidelines of what you should & shouldn't eat when it comes to fish you catch in Ohio.
From small lakes to larger ones, you can enjoy fishing on most of them that are public land with a basic fishing license, so you will not need anything specific. On a beautiful spring day, you can head out & find a quiet corner & just let out your line. Enjoy the scenery, the clear water and the fishing.
Lake Erie
Now, if you like to fish, then you need to go out on Lake Erie one time. Most people have to go on a charter fishing trip to do this, but this is where you catch the best fish that make your meal feel more like a feast. You'll find that charters can be high-priced, though, so they are best done in groups.
For a lot of people, however, a charter fishing trip on Lake Erie is better than any type of fishing. The deep, cold, fresh waters provide some of the tastiest fish out there, but you must check with guidelines to determine what you can and should eat from the lake & what you should throw back. The service you charter through should be well versed in this area, too, so if you aren't sure, ask.
No matter if you're chartering a fishing boat and headed out into the big waters, or you want to fish one of the call amd quiet lakes or tributaries in your area, or if you are a fan of the smooth running waters of the rivers and streams in your area, fishing is something that you can enjoy by yourself or with the whole family. Whether you eat them or throw them back, Ohio fishing is a pastime to be enjoyed by everyone.
