Rainbow Trout
While Put-in-Bay isn't typically the first place that comes to mind for Rainbow Trout, there are some opportunities for catching them, especially during the cooler months. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources stocks trout in several inland lakes and ponds throughout the state, and while none are directly on Put-in-Bay, a short ferry ride to the mainland can open up some possibilities. Consider heading to nearby stocked lakes like East Harbor State Park. Winter and early spring are the best times to target these stocked trout. Use small spinners, spoons, or powerbait near the stocking locations. Be sure to check the ODNR's website for the latest stocking reports. While you won't find trophy rainbows here, it's a fun way to spend a day and potentially bring home a few for the table. Remember to have a valid Ohio fishing license and follow all regulations.
