The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife reminds residents of Northwest Ohio that public lakes and reservoirs teem with fish such as yellow perch and largemouth bass.
In this area, the ODNR highlights yellow perch in Allen County's Williams Reservoir. The organization notes: this reservoir was opened in 2012 and offers good numbers of large perch, some longer than 13 inches. If fishing from a boat, start along the north or south shore where the old haul roads are still in place. Shoreline fishing in the spring and fall can be productive.
