New Fishing Opportunity in Xenia 🎣
📍 XENIA, Ohio – Families and young anglers in southwest Ohio can enjoy fishing this spring and summer courtesy of our district office in Xenia. The former hatchery ponds provide the opportunity for families and budding young anglers to create memories together and get hooked on fishing.

Families and Youth aged 17 and younger can fish in the ponds. The fishing ponds are open Wednesday through Sunday, ending October 31. Some dates will be closed during the season to host special activities.

The Division of Wildlife youth and family fishing ponds are located at 1076 Old Springfield Pike in Xenia. Parking, restrooms, and seating are available for guests. Young anglers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. A valid Ohio fishing license is required for anyone who is aged 16 or older.

Five permits will be issued per day. Individuals 17 years old or younger do not need an access permit, but they are required to be accompanied by a permitted adult. Permits may be obtained through the Ohio Landowner-Hunter Access Partnership and are available 8 pm the day before, and the day of only.

In an effort to provide all anglers with plenty of action, the fishing ponds are catch and release only. No fish may be harvested. Fish are to be returned to the lake immediately. Visitors may bring their own tackle but should note that no live fish may be used as bait.

Species that can be caught include bluegill, bass, and trout. The fishing area ponds are spring-fed and stay cool throughout the summer, supporting catchable rainbow trout 10-13 inches in length that are stocked annually. Rainbow trout are exciting to catch and give first-time anglers an excellent opportunity for success.

I know the picture isn't that great. But if anyone knows him can you have him call or stop back at Frank's Tackle
