Caesar Creek Lake in southwest Ohio offers a plethora of fish species for anglers and is a real gem of a lake in Warren and Clinton counties.
It encompasses about 2,830 acres at the normal summer pool level. Construction of the dam began in October 1971 and the gates were closed to start filling in January 1978. Caesar Creek is the deepest inland lake in Ohio with a depth of 115 feet near the dam. While under control of the Louisville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Ohio Division of Wildlife provides resource management of the fishery and wildlife area.
Brian Peterson and a team of researchers at the University of Nebraska-Kearney have been studying white-tailed deer antlers for the past 15 years.
Peterson is the coordinator of the master of science biology program at the University of Nebraska-Kearney and he was a recent guest on the National Deer Association’s (NDA) Coffee and Deer podcast.
“It’s not just, ‘Wow, that buck scored 150,’ or whatever,” said Nick Pinizzotto, president and CEO of the NDA and a co-host of the Coffee and Deer podcast. “There’s a lot more that can be learned from antlers other than just its score.”

The Ohio DNR (ODNR) Division of Wildlife has started a project to restore wetland vegetation across 300 acres of Middle Harbor in East Harbor State Park. The project began in April with a completion date later this year.
The Middle Harbor wetland restoration project includes dredging a channel from the center of the harbor to the outlet on the north side of the area to allow management of water levels.
If you’re a steelhead fisherman, it’s never too early to start thinking about the fall runs up the northeast Ohio tributaries of Lake Erie.
These lake-run rainbow trout make their temporary homes in a handful of northeast Ohio rivers in the fall and winter after spending the summer swimming around in the big lake. With that in mind, Ohio Outdoor News checked in with a couple of fisheries biologists from the Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife to highlight popular steelhead access points on some of the steelhead rivers.
When the wind and waves have cooperated, anglers are cashing in on a hot walleye bite in the Western and Central basins of Lake Erie.

Curt Wagner, fish management supervisor for the ODNR Division of Wildlife in northeast Ohio, says Leesville Lake is “really firing on all cylinders right now.”
And Leesville, it seems, is humming along like a V-8. Leesville, one of the eight lakes in the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD), is good for bluegills, crappies, bass, and catfish, and outstanding for muskies and saugeyes, according to Wagner.

Now that the 2024 spring turkey season is in the books, I conducted my annual autopsy of the season with Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife game biologist Mark Wiley.
For the record, Ohio’s hunters in the South and Northeast zones bagged 15,535 birds, which nearly matches the 15,673 spring gobblers harvested in 2023. This spring’s turkey harvest also nearly matched what Wiley and his colleagues thought would happen before the season began.

Those who live near and historically fished Shreve Lake before it was drained have reason for hope for the future.
Shreve Lake, in Wayne County in northeast Ohio, was the victim of an emergency drawdown in 2014 due to a problem at the dam.
“We do these dam inspections every so often … and you notice things,” said Curt Wagner, fish management supervisor for the ODNR Division of Wildlife in Akron. “We noticed water was seeping on the downstream side outside of the outlet pipe. It was tunneling outside the drain pipe, taken earthen dam with it. Over time, that can create a catastrophic failure.”
