Rainbow Trout
If you're looking to chase rainbow trout near Leesville, Ohio, consider a trip to nearby stocked streams and rivers. While Leesville Lake itself isn't a prime trout destination, several smaller waterways within a short drive are regularly stocked by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. These stockings typically occur in the spring and fall. Check the ODNR's website for stocking schedules and locations. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait (like worms and mealworms) are effective methods. Remember that these are often put-and-take fisheries, so practicing catch and release will help ensure the longevity of the trout population. Access can be limited in some areas, so scout out potential fishing spots beforehand. Trout in these streams are typically of stocking size (10-12 inches), but they provide a fun and accessible fishing experience.
