trout stocking

for anyone interested, odnr has stocking schedule on their site. ohiodnr.com

thanks for the headsup... been waiting for them to release the spring stocking dates

I go 2 four each year.. Go figure that 2 pairs are on the same days!!!

clark lake all the way!!! we took 97 trout out of there last year between 2 of us

awesome. i usually hit 3 or 4. rose, dow timbre ridge, vesuvius. no where near the 90's. best weekend on rose me,wife and stepson took high 50's

well with the limit set to 5 trout an outing (idk if there is a daily creel limit) we took all these over about a 2-3 week time period

always head out of hinckley lake with my limit of trout, for the first 2 weeks then it gets tough the third week. It's nice having the lake basically in my back yard. I Will be going this year , gl to all.... anyone have any good recipes?

recipes for what? cooking them or catching them... lol

we typically use trout nibbles with waxworms under a small crappie float about 3' deep fished around brush

Just posted a trout recipe in the outdoors kitchen
We always throw spinners until the fish get smart. After that we use powerbait

trout recipe sounds pretty good...I have been smokin em in the past, but want to try something new. To catch em I just throw a weighted bobber on, small hook with a rolled up power bait ball(orange and pink) and split shot about a foot down from hook, and fish about 5 feet deep... and I have a couple of hot spots where the fish like to go.... start off fishing about 50 yards from where they stocked em... pretty good hot spot huh? lol then a week later there are not that many guys that know where to catch em in hinckley since its a pretty nice size lake comparing it to other ohdr trout stocked lakes... johnny what spinner do you typically have luck with???? I usually throw a chunk of orange power bait on the bottom but this year ill try a spinner.

usually throw mepps or rooster tails, but don't overlook 1/4 oz. dardevle spoons. not to many people down this way throw em. limit is 5, we threw all our trout back that weekend cause we had plenty in freezer.

Yep white rooster tails
Spoons work too

Thanks for posting.

I take my kids there every year (Jefferson Lake) and they have a blast.

The damn is by far the best area and with out a doubt minnowss are the best. Remember, as I tell my kids let them run it for a few seconds before you set the hook.
