Public fishing opportunities will
be enhanced this spring when more than 80,000 rainbow trout, each
measuring 10- to 13-inches long, are released into 45 Ohio lakes and
ponds, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR)
Division of Wildlife. The releases will take place between mid March
and mid-May; anglers are reminded that the daily catch limit for
inland lakes is five trout.
