Not to be confused with the reservoirs of similar name in northwest Ohio, Findley Lake in the northeast is managed for a quality channel catfish fishery.

The time that hunters have been waiting on for six long months – or perhaps since the end of last deer season – is upon us.
Sept. 1 is the traditional kickoff of hunting season in the Buckeye State and this year is no different. Hunters may hunt doves and squirrels come Sept. 1 with dove hunting being a most popular pursuit among Buckeye wingshooters.

The debate over whether or not to continue to hold a ruffed grouse hunting season is over for now.
On Aug. 2, three members of the Ohio Wildlife Council, the rule-making arm of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, decided against holding a more restrictive season on grouse than the one held a year ago. What this means is that the Division of Wildlife will offer a grouse hunt this fall that runs Oct. 14 through Nov. 26 on public land and through Jan. 1, 2024, on private land. The bag limit is one bird per day.
