    SPORT FISH OF OHIO identification DIVISION OF WILDLIFE 1 With more than 40,000 miles of streams, 2.4 million acres of Lake Erie and inland water, and 450 miles of the Ohio River, Ohio supports a diverse and abundant fish fauna represented by more than 160 species. Ohio’s fishes come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors...and live in a variety of aquatic habitats from our largest lakes and rivers to the smallest ponds and creeks. Approximately one-third of these species can be found in this guide. This fish identification guide provides color illustrations to help anglers identify their catch, and useful tips to help catch more fish. We hope it will also increase your awareness of the diversity of fishes in Ohio. This book also gives information about the life history of 27 of Ohio’s commonly caught species, as well as information on selected threatened and endangered species. Color illustrations and names are also offered for 20 additional species, many of which are rarely caught by anglers, but are quite common throughout Ohio. Fishing is a favorite pastime of many Ohioans and one of the most enduring family traditions. A first fish or day shared on the water are memories that last a lifetime. It is our sincere hope that the information in this guide will contribute significantly to your fishing experiences and understanding of Ohio’s fishes. Good Fishing!

  • 15 Best Indiana Panfishing Lakes
    15 best Indiana panfishing lakes This information has been shared numerous places but somehow we’ve missed putting it on our own website. If you’ve been looking for a place to catch some dinner, our fisheries biologists have compiled a list of the 15 best panfishing lakes throughout Indiana. Enjoy! Northern Indiana Sylvan Lake Sylvan Lake is a 669-acre man made reservoir near Rome City. It is best known for its bluegill fishing with some reaching 9 inches. About one third of the adult bluegill population are 7 inches or larger. The best places to catch bluegill are the Cain Basin at the east end of the lake and along the 8 to 10 foot drop-offs in the western basin. Red-worms, flies, and crickets are the most effective baits. Skinner Lake Skinner Lake is a 125-acre natural lake near Albion. The lake is known for crappie fishing for both black and white crappies. Most crappies are in the 8 to 9 inch range, with some reaching 16 inches long. Don’t expect to catch lots of big crappies, but you can expect to catch plenty that are keeper-size. The best crappie fishing is in May over developing lily pads in the four corners of the lake. Live minnows and small white jigs are the most effective baits. J. C. Murphey Lake J. C. Murphey Lake is located on Willow Slough Fish and Wildlife Area in Newton County. Following this winter, there was minimal ice fishing (due to lack of ice) and the spring fishing should be phenomenal especially for bluegills.

  • Foam Flies for Warmwater: Back to Your Roots June 1999
    Foam flies for warmwater: Back to your roots June 1999 Comments by Jim Abbs If you live in a part of the world blessed with warmwater lakes and pond, consider yourself very fortunate. As long as there is open water, sunfish, bluegills, crappie and other panfish can be tricked to taking one kind of a fly or another. This kind of fishing is not crowded, often is found minutes from home, and these tough little fish are not hypersensitive to the advance of human development. Even in the mostly coldwater west, many cities and towns maintain some warmwater ponds, lakes or little impoundments, mostly because they serve so many different anglers so well. Another reason warmwater fishing is so popular is that most of us started out fishing these kinds of waters. An old-time Minnesota steelhead, trout and salmon fly fisher makes the point better than I can: "One of the most memorable moments this past summer was angling for sunfish on a northern Wisconsin lake. On a light fly rod sunfish are surprisingly feisty and I lost count of the number of fish landed that morning, but it was a delightful change of pace. Ignoring simpler fly fishing pleasures is a mistake we often make. After all I started fishing with a stick and a string on a dock in a little pond. It doesn't hurt to get to back to one's roots. " The other relaxing part of fishing in warmwater is creating new flies to imitate the thousands of little critters that make up these fertile ecosystems.

  • Humpy, Goofus Bug Or Horner's Deer Hair?
    Federation of Fly Fishers Fly of the Month November, 1999 - THE WONDER FLY---HUMPY, GOOFUS BUG OR HORNER'S DEER HAIR? Comments by Jim Abbs Quite a while back---about 60 years ago claimed the legendary Charlie Brooks---some California trout anglers ran out of their favorite clipped deer hair fly, the rat-faced McDougall while fishing California's Hat Creek-Rising River area. As many know, the Rat-faced McDougall has a body of clipped deer hair and it floats like a cork in big western water. These particular California anglers were described as having limited fly tying skill and were unable to duplicate the clipped deer hair body of the store-bought McDougalls. To get the desired floatabilty, they devised a way of folding the buoyant deer hair over the hook---fore to aft---creating what has now become called the Humpy. Actually at one time or another, this fly was called the Goofus Bug by Dan Bailey of Livingston Montana and the Horner Deer Hair Fly in California---after famous California tier Jack Horner. This fly apparently was first called a Humpy---or Wonder Fly--- in the waters around Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Speaking from experience, the Humpy is simply is deadly on big western waters, seemingly due to its high profile and because it is virtually unsinkable. Anyone visiting fly shops in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho will find the Humpy available in many colors and sizes, from #10 down to #18. Its effectiveness also is demonstrated by the fact that it is given high marks in many serious books on western trout fishing, by Brooks, by Dennis, by Matthews, by Fong and others, and because there are a number of variations on the basic humpy theme, including Royal Humpy, Yellow Humpy, a Black Humpy, Humpy Trude, Poly Humpy, etc.
