Do you prefer ice fishing, fly fishing for steelhead trout or dropping a line in the lake from a pier? Ohio has more than 40,000 miles of streams and 2.4 million acres of Lake Erie and inland water supporting more than 160 species of fish. If you love the sport, aside from deep sea ocean fishing, you'll find almost all varieties nearby.
