Rainbow Trout
While Steubenville isn't exactly a trout mecca, determined anglers can find rainbow trout opportunities within a reasonable drive. Several smaller streams and tributaries in the surrounding region, particularly those managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), are stocked with rainbow trout. These stockings typically occur in the spring and fall. Check the ODNR website for the latest stocking schedules and locations. Anglers should focus on areas with cooler water temperatures and good oxygenation, such as riffles and runs. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or salmon eggs are effective choices. Be aware that these are often smaller streams with limited access, so be prepared to hike and explore to find the best spots. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits, as they may differ from statewide rules. The trout in these streams are generally stocked, so don't expect wild fish characteristics.
