It’s been a slow year for many Ohio anglers who have mostly stayed at home during our virus epidemic and made only rare trips to the closest waters to escape being home bound temporarily. But it’s spring now and there’s blue sky out there often, and rising temperatures, and as most know, May is on of the top months to go fishing. If there’s a question, it’s where to go to find the very best action within a reasonable drive, and the Ohio Division of Wildlife has joined with my own experiences to offer some great spring hotspots.

PEDRO The Wayne National Forest will be opening the Oakhill and Iron Ridge campgrounds at the Lake Vesuvius Recreation Area for the 2021 season on April 23.
The campgrounds will remain open through at least July 11, before closing again to replace a damaged waterline, while Big Bend Beach will remain closed for the entire 2021 season.
Due to ongoing maintenance projects the campgrounds will operate without running water. Campground guests will instead have access to portable restrooms, handwashing stations, and non-potable water at the dumping station. Visitors are encouraged to visit the Wayne National Forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/wayne throughout the summer as the campgrounds may be able to remain open longer than July 11.
