In the recent past, Punderson Lake in northeast Ohio was a place to go if you wanted to catch a rainbow trout.
And, it was a pretty good option, but the ODNR Division of Wildlife in recent years revised its list of lakes where spring trout stocking occurs and Punderson was among those that didn’t make the cut.

According to the National Deer Association’s (NDA) annual deer report, Ohio ranks just outside of the Top 10 for mature buck harvest.
According to the report, deer hunters in the United States are harvesting more mature bucks today than at any time in recorded history. That is true as a percentage of the antlered buck harvest and the actual number of bucks harvested.

Water temperatures remain in the 50s, which is allowing anglers to stay on open water on inland lakes to catch shallow crappies and saugeyes.

Several years ago, O’Shaughnessy Reservoir in Delaware County in central Ohio showed the best catch rate for largemouth bass of any lake fished on Ohio’s bass tournament circuit.
A bass 12 inches or larger is considered a keeper because that’s the minimum legal size fish in O’Shaugnessy. There’s plenty of bass here, most in the 2 1 ⁄2 to 3-pound range that will run anywhere from 14 to 20 inches.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Wildlife officers have difficult jobs.
Contributing Writer Jane Beathard wrote a story for our Nov. 8 edition about Ohio’s Columbiana County Wildlife Officer Jesse Janosik receiving a valor award from the ODNR for his life-saving efforts to rescue a boy who had been run over by a lawnmower.
However, measurements of the pedicles of the antlers in the study did show generally that the bucks had less testosterone during peak rut times and incomplete antler growth likely due to the extreme conditions.

Native brook trout have a place in Ohio’s fisheries history, though you’d be hard-pressed to find a brook trout in Ohio today.
According to the ODNR Division of Wildlife, brook trout were historically documented at the edge of their distribution in Ashtabula and Geauga counties. Noted Ohio fisheries researcher Milton Trautman wrote in 1981 that the headwaters of the Chagrin River historically appeared to contain suitable brook trout habitat. But, by 1945 that habitat had been destroyed.

“It’s one of the old canal lakes, so it’s fairly shallow and narrow,” he said. “There’s a lot of good structure in the lake. And, there’s a decent spillway fishery below the dam. There’s a lot of lotus and lily pad beds in the lake, so if you’re a bass fisherman those are good places to try.

Are we as Ohio sportsmen and women doing it wrong when it comes to raising the next generation of deer hunters?
I pose this question on the heels of receiving an eye-opening graphic from ODNR Division of Wildlife (DOW) Deer Program Administrator Mike Tonkovich. The graphic is nothing official, mind you, but it came out of a question posed by this reporter to Tonkovich about a month ago.
