When and where will it stop? Not anytime soon, I’m afraid.
What I’m talking about is the continued fracking of state lands in Ohio. The most recent decision by the state’s Oil and Gas Land Management Commission will permit the drilling of an additional 6,600 acres at Jockey Hollow and Egypt Valley wildlife areas.

Inland lakes around Ohio were making ice in mid-January just before a major snowstorm on the weekend of Jan. 24-25 dumped as much as 15 inches of snow in some parts of Ohio.
What follows is an expansion of the Fishing Report to detail some of the lakes around Ohio that are currently offering opportunity for ice fishermen. As of late January, Ohio ice fishermen were spread out across the state from Pymatuning Reservoir in the northeast corner to Kiser Lake in the southwest region.

Steelhead fishing in the northeast Ohio Lake Erie tributaries isn’t off-the-charts good at the moment, but things should improve down the road a bit.
That’s the short synopsis of a recent conversation Ohio Outdoor News had with Curt Wagner, fish management supervisor for the Ohio DNR Division of Wildlife in the region.

The northern portion of this long, serpentine lake – north of the Cheshire Road bridge – is where anglers will want to focus their efforts. This area offers many coves and quiet spots that will give up largemouth and smallmouth bass as well as crappies, saugeyes, and muskies.

I’d really like to do some ice fishing this winter, but I’m not so sure that will be a real possibility.
As of this writing on Jan. 13, there was no ice anywhere in the state aside from the extreme northeast corner of Ohio. At least no ice that is safe enough to fish on. I had gotten my hopes up, probably like many of you, when in mid-December places like Buckeye Lake and Indian Lake firmed up enough to allow for some early season ice fishing.

Lake Vesuvius in southeast Ohio is small at just 121 acres, but its stature makes it no less important for sportsmen and women in the region.
Today, Vesuvius is a shadow of its former self. It is high and dry, bereft of water.
“The (USDA) Forest Service is repairing a component of the Lake Vesuvius dam after routine inspections identified an issue with the slide gate system,” Anna Owens, a public affairs officer with the Forest Service at Wayne National Forest, said in an email to Ohio Outdoor News.
My first thought upon looking at the photo of Zac Prickett’s non-typical buck for the first time was, “Man, that thing is gnarly!”
We detailed the story of how the big Ohio buck shot in Champaign County came to its knees at the hands of Prickett’s bow. Prickett, an experienced bowhunter, did something really smart before he harvested the buck he had nicknamed “Junkie.”
Caesar Creek Lake in southwest Ohio offers a plethora of fish species for anglers and is a real gem of a lake in Warren, Greene, and Clinton counties.

Zac Prickett was fortunate enough to have two encounters this past fall with a massive buck he had been watching since last year.
The second such encounter paid off for Prickett on Nov. 1 when he arrowed the 22-point, non-typical buck.
“It was definitely something magical for sure,” the St. Paris hunter said.
