As young animals appear in backyards, local parks, and unexpected areas, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife is reminding Ohioans to keep wildlife wild this spring.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife restocks 85,000 trout in public lakes and ponds across the state each year. The fish, which measure between 10 and 13 inches in length, are raised in Ohio hatcheries for about a year before being released.
This spring, Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife is hosting public open houses at state fish hatcheries where visitors can learn about fish production. Hatchery open houses are free of charge and provide a great opportunity for visitors to see fish up close before they are stocked into one of Ohio’s many public lakes and rivers.
