TAKE DAD ON AN OHIO FISHING ADVENTURE FOR FATHER'S DAY, JUNE 15 When's the last time dad spent a day fishing? If it's been longer than anyone can remember, then maybe it is time to plan a Father's Day fishing trip on one of Ohio's great waterways. "June is one of the best months for fishing in Ohio," according to Steven A. Gray, chief of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. "Perch fishing is heating up on Lake Erie and many anglers at state park lakes are pulling in everything from panfish to trophy-size muskies and saugeye. I encourage Ohioans to take advantage of these opportunities as a great way to spend Father's Day." Ohio offers diverse fishing adventures around the state ranging from Lake Erie charters to an afternoon fly fishing on a state scenic river to a quiet afternoon at a private pond. To plan a trip best suited to dad, start with a visit to the ODNR Division of Wildlife's web site at ohiodnr.com and review fishing forecasts, a listing of public fishing areas, weather links, license requirements and most anything else needed to make for a successful fishing trip. "Instead of another tie or pair of socks, consider giving your dad a Father's Day memory he will keep for a long time," said Gray. "Take him fishing." Source: ODNR |
