The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife will be releasing rainbow trout into Lake Glacier at Mill Creek Park Wednesday, March 26.
Mill Creek MetroParks Natural Resources Manager Nick Derico tells 21 News the trout release is scheduled to take place about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday.
This is part of several rainbow trout releases at various bodies of water in Ohio conducted by ODNR from now until May 18. Lake Glacier is the only Mahoning Valley site for the trout releases.
According to a press release from ODNR, stocking these bodies of water with the rainbow trout provides anglers the opportunity to enjoy quality rainbow trout fishing during the spring.
Anglers age 16 and older are required to have a fishing license in order to fish in Ohio’s public waters. Anglers are limited to five rainbow trout per day.
