Looking for a lake to fish with Dad? Ohio has you covered
(WKBN) – Looking for a lake to fish with Dad over Father's Day weekend?
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has you covered. An online interactive map can lead you to great fishing spots in the state. Whether you are looking for ODNR lands, certain lake features, facilities that are important to you, or points of interest, the map can get you there.
The map pinpoints docks, tree structures, and locations where fish are frequently found. For instance, the map shows where Christmas trees were placed in Mosquito Creek Lake to create a marine life habitat.
Keep in mind, too, that this weekend is free fishing weekend in Ohio. All sizes and daily limits do apply during the free fishing days.
Any other time, you will need an Ohio fishing license, which costs $25. There are other options, too, such as a one-day license and licenses for youth and seniors.

My dad and I spent a week traveling together without our phones. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken.
My dad and I spent a week traveling together without our phones. It was nice to connect with him without distracting texts, emails, and social media notifications. The trip reminded me of the precious value of uninterrupted alone time with my parents. My zest for adventure and travel is heavily inspired by my dad. He's in his 60s but still climbs trees, insists on going off-trail on most hikes, and stops to admire every sunset he sees. Although I've traveled solo around the world and we've had our fair share of family vacations together, I realized last year that we'd never been on a trip just the two of us. So, Father's Day seemed like the perfect opportunity for our first real father-daughter adventure — a weeklong rafting excursion down the Colorado River, winding through the Grand Canyon. The trip itself was incredible, but the best part was that we had no cell service or WiFi connection. Without the distraction of social media, work emails, or incoming texts, I was able to be present, not only with the wondrous nature around me, but also with my dear ol' dad. I've been hiking with my dad since before I can remember — he used to strap me to his back in a baby carrier on some of his adventures. So, embarking on a grand outdoor adventure with him in my late 20s felt full circle. While traveling together, I felt like a kid again. The experience brought back memories of exploring with him as a young girl, stopping to admire every tadpole, flower, lizard, and leaf along the way. I didn't have a phone back then, and I did my best to keep it away during our vacation. I took it out to take photos of the incredible sights, but otherwise, we were disconnected from our everyday lives. Normally, this might induce anxiety about what I'm missing, but in this case, it was a refreshing change of pace. Instead of scrolling on social media until I fell asleep, I chatted with my dad under the light of a full moon, lying side by side on ripped plastic cots. We were able to connect in the quiet without the ping of notifications pulling us in separate directions. Throughout our trip, we marveled at the skyscraper-high canyon walls, tackled roaring rapids, chased cascading waterfalls, and ate deli-meat sandwiches for lunch six days in a row. As an outdoorsy duo, it was an awesome trip — and a wonderful way to deepen our connection. It reminded me how valuable it is to spend uninterrupted, phone-free time with my parents. Whether we're on an epic excursion or just sitting on the couch, I want to remember to be present with them so I can listen intently to their stories and advice. As life continues to speed by, I'm holding tight to the simplicity of that week: the laughter, the quiet stargazing, the awe, and the moments of connection with the guy who first taught me to be curious about the world and explore.
