Fishing as a family is such a fun way to spend time together outdoors. Before you venture out to one of the many fishing events throughout the state, we thought we’d share a few tips and recommendations. When taking kids fishing, you have to remember to have fun and take a lot of pictures! When you’re looking for a location, target areas with a high likelihood of success. Most kids are satisfied catching lots of smaller fish such as bluegills rather than catching fewer, bigger fish such as bass. Catching a few fish on the first few outings will peak children’s interest and make them look forward to the next trip. Use live bait and keep the equipment simple. Don’t forget sunscreen, snacks and water to stay hydrated. Find places to fish in Northeast, Central and Southeast, and Southwest Ohio. (ODNR also provides a detailed map and list here.)
