Rainbow Trout
While Norton, Ohio isn't exactly a Rainbow Trout mecca, determined anglers can find opportunities for stocked trout in some of the smaller streams and ponds in the surrounding area. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) stocks several locations in Summit County each year, primarily in the spring. Check the ODNR website for the latest stocking reports to pinpoint recently stocked locations. These stocked trout are typically relatively small, but they can provide some fun action with light tackle. Small spinners, spoons, and trout worms are all effective baits. Remember that these stockings are popular, so expect some competition from other anglers. For a more secluded experience, try exploring some of the smaller, less-publicized streams. Just be sure to obtain the proper licenses and permits before heading out. The best time is right after the stocking, as the fish haven't been pressured yet.
