Rainbow Trout
While Hiram isn't exactly known as a trout mecca, determined anglers can find stocked rainbow trout within a reasonable drive. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources stocks several streams in the region each year. These stockings typically occur in the spring and fall. Look for designated 'put-and-take' streams, which are managed specifically for recreational trout fishing. Check the ODNR website for the most up-to-date stocking schedules. A local's secret is to arrive early on stocking days and use small spinners or live bait like worms or mealworms. The trout are often naive and readily take these offerings. Keep in mind that these are stocked fish and may not possess the same fight as wild trout, but they provide a great opportunity for anglers of all skill levels to enjoy trout fishing close to Hiram.
