Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near New Albany, Ohio, primarily revolves around stocked streams and rivers. The Clear Fork Branch of the Mohican River, a bit over an hour's drive north, is a popular choice, receiving regular stockings throughout the spring and fall. These stocked rainbows provide excellent action for both beginner and experienced anglers. Focus your efforts in the deeper pools and runs, especially near structure like fallen logs or overhanging banks. Standard trout tactics work well: drifting worms or powerbait, casting small spinners, or fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies. Be aware that the Clear Fork can get crowded, especially on weekends after a stocking. Check the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) website for stocking schedules. Local tip: While stocked rainbows are the main draw, some fish do hold over, growing larger and becoming more wary. Experiment with different presentations to target these holdovers. Also, be sure to check regulations as some sections may have catch-and-release only rules.
