Rainbow Trout
While Castalia, Ohio isn't widely known for its rainbow trout fishing, the cold, spring-fed waters of the Cold Creek offer a unique opportunity for anglers. This small stream, managed as a put-and-take fishery, provides a chance to catch stocked rainbows in a scenic setting. The best time to target these trout is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler and stocking efforts are most frequent. Access to Cold Creek is primarily through designated public access points, including the Castalia State Fish Hatchery, where you can also observe the trout rearing process. Keep in mind that Cold Creek is a relatively small stream, so stealth and light tackle are key to success. A lightweight spinning rod or fly rod with small spinners, spoons, or nymphs will be your best bet. The trout here are typically stocked at catchable sizes, providing a fun and accessible fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels. Be sure to check Ohio's fishing regulations for creel limits and any specific restrictions on Cold Creek.
