Early August field reports from the Ohio Division of Wildlife

Posted by Staff on August 26, 2023 - 6:00am

Northwest Ohio – Wildlife District Two
In June, State Wildlife Officer Eric VonAlmen, assigned to Wood County, conducted sport fish enforcement on the Maumee River in Grand Rapids. He observed two anglers wade into the river with large treble hooks on their lines and attempt to snag fish while retrieving their lines. Both anglers hooked fish including common carp, channel catfish, and flathead catfish in parts of the body other than the mouth. The individuals kept the snagged fish, which is not legal for any species other than forage fish. Officer VonAlmen contacted the suspects on the shoreline and issued summonses for the violation. Each angler paid a $120 waiver, and Officer VonAlmen photographed the snagged catfish and released them into the river.
