Dow Lake in Strouds Run State Park was formerly a place where springtime anglers could count on catching one of the rainbow trout stocked by the ODNR Division of Wildlife.
The stocking of trout at Dow, however, was halted in 2021 when the Division of Wildlife revamped its trout stocking program in favor of smaller waters.

Kip Adams’ career has come full circle in a sense.
The chief conservation officer for the National Deer Association (NDA) grew up in northern Pennsylvania, knowing from an early age that he wanted to be a wildlife biologist. His first job out of graduate school in New Hampshire was with the Florida Fish and Game Commission. Four years later, Adams went back to New Hampshire to that state’s fish and game department as its deer and bear biologist.

Ohio’s legion of ice anglers had about a 10-day window of good ice fishing this year.
However, at press time for this edition of Ohio Outdoor News in late January, things were changing quickly.

While it lasted, though, the ice fishing in mid-January was pretty good.

John Breedlove’s mother once told him that he was the most observant person she knew.
That type of personality helps when you’re a serious steelhead fisherman as Breedlove has become known in Ohio’s Mahoning Valley. He pays attention to the fish and in turn catches more than his fair share of the lake-run rainbow trout.

I was reminded recently of a column I wrote several years back about George Stitz, a fine gentleman hunter who, like the Energizer bunny, is still going at the young age of 98.
George’s story is something that really touched my heart. He shot a doe on Jan. 2 with his trusty crossbow and with the help of his son-in-law, Bob Yoho. The hunting duo lives in Canal Fulton in the Akron/Canton area of Ohio.

Mogadore Reservoir in northeast Ohio sticks out like a sore thumb – in a good way.
There’s not a lot of development around the 1,000-acre lake and the development that is there sits back off the lake a bit, said Curt Wagner, fish management supervisor for the Division of Wildlife in Akron.
