I live in the Midwestern state of Ohio, in the Great Lakes region.
Really?
Yes, it is surprisingly the 7th most populous state and 10th most densely populated.
Are there large lakes?
Yes, the state itself got it's name from the Ohio River.
OK. Is recreational fishing allowed in Ohio?
Recreational fishing
Recreational fishing, also called sport fishing, is fishing for pleasure or competition. It can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is fishing for profit, or subsistence fishing, which is fishing for survival.
The most common form of recreational fishing is done with a rod, reel, line, hooks and any one of a wide range of baits. Other devices, commonly referred to as "terminal tackle", are also used to affect or complement the presentation of the bait to the targeted fish.
Ohio
Ohio is a Midwestern state in the Great Lakes region of the United States. Of the fifty states, it is the 34th largest by area, the seventh most populous, and the tenth most densely populated. The state's capital and largest city is Columbus.
The state takes its name from the Ohio River, whose name in turn originated from the Seneca word " ohiːyo"', meaning "good river", "great river" or "large creek". Partitioned from the Northwest Territory, Ohio
