Whens the last time dad spent a day fishing? If its been longer than anyone can remember, then maybe it is time to plan a Fathers Day fishing trip on one of Ohios 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 Fathers 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 Wildlifes 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 Fathers Day memory he will keep for a long time, said Gray. Take him fishing.
