Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout in Maumee, Ohio might not be the first thing that springs to mind, but the Ohio Department of Natural Resources stocks trout in several locations in the area, offering a unique angling opportunity. Check ODNR's stocking reports for the most up-to-date information on locations and dates. These stockings typically occur in the spring and fall. Smaller streams are often the target of these stockings. Consider using small spinners, spoons, or live bait such as worms or mealworms. Fly fishing with nymphs and small streamers can also be effective. A local tip is to fish early in the morning or late in the evening, as trout tend to be more active during these times. Another tip is to use light line and small hooks, as the stocked trout can be line-shy. While these trout are generally not large, they provide a fun and accessible fishing experience close to urban areas. Be sure to check Ohio's fishing regulations for specific rules regarding trout fishing, including creel limits and tackle restrictions.
