Rainbow Trout
While Northwest Ohio might not be the first place that comes to mind for trout fishing, the Mad River, accessible within a reasonable drive from Risingsun, offers a surprising opportunity to target stocked Rainbow Trout. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources stocks the Mad River with rainbows several times a year, primarily in the spring and fall. These stockings create a unique, albeit seasonal, fishery. Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) are undoubtedly the best times to target these fish, coinciding with stocking schedules and cooler water temperatures. Look for stocked trout in deeper pools and near submerged structure. A great access point is near the Dayton-Springfield Pike, offering ample bank fishing opportunities. Remember that these are stocked fish, often accustomed to pellet feed, so consider using brightly colored baits or small spinners. Also, be sure to check the ODNR website for the latest stocking reports before planning your trip.
