Trout Fishing Tips for Southwest Ohio

Ohio has many great trout fishing hot-spots. Sycamore State Park is often considered one of these great Ohio trout fishing spots. Others include Stonelick Lake, Clark Lake and the Rush Run Wildlife Area. These are especially great places to take kids fishing because they're stocked regularly.

Spring is one of the best times of the year for trout fishing. Fishing with spinners, worms, corn and PowerBaits will produce the best results during the spring seasons. If water temperatures are still really cold from winter freezes, spinners will help wake trout from their lethargic state and cause them to strike.

Fall is also a great time of year for trout fishing. The same trout fishing tips for Spring, apply for Fall too.

Summer months present the biggest challenge in trout fishing. While the use of spinners, worms, corn and PowerBaits still apply - the problem is finding trout. Trout need comfortable, well-oxygenated water. In warmer summer months, this is often in the deeper parts of lakes. This is where fish finders and a boat come in handy!

In warm summer months, catching trout from shore will often be difficult. However, fishing in early morning or early evening will help better your chances of catching trout from the shore. Water temps are cooler then and so trout can be spotted actively feeding near the surface during these times.

Next time you go trout fishing in southern Ohio, give these tips a try.
