: Northwest Ohio Fishing: Resthaven Wildlife Area, (Erie County) Resthaven Wildlife Area is located just outside Castalia on State Route 269. The area has 444 acres of water contained in 10 different ponds. Bluegill fishing is usually very good this time of year. Try casting wax worms, small jigs, and spinner baits throughout the pond edges. Ponds 7 and 8 should be doing the best right now. Pond 8 has a boat ramp and handicapped accessible fishing pier. Boats may be used on the other ponds; however, no ramps are available. Gasoline motors up to 9.9 horsepower may be used on all ponds. Killdeer Plains Reservoir (Wyandot County) - Located 10 miles southwest of Upper Sandusky along State Route 67, Killdeer Reservoir features a new floating boat ramp and 241 acres of fishable water. Smallmouth bass should be biting this month. Try fishing the rocks along the island and the south shore. Cast the shoreline using crayfish or leeches under a slip bobber, set just off the bottom. Also, try casting dark colored tube jigs or crankbaits along the shore. Crappie should also be biting right now. Try fishing the south shoreline using live minnows fished under a slip bobber, or 1/8 ounce jigs with a twister tail tipped with a minnow. There is a 10 horsepower limit on the reservoir. Barton Lake (Williams County) Barton Lake is located on the St. Joseph River Wildlife Area, along CR J, West of CR 10, southwest of Montpelier. It is 19 acres in size and now is an excellent time to pursue crappie in the lake. Try fishing the inlet near the fishing access off of CR J. Minnows fished under a slip bobber usually produce the best results. A ramp for small boats is available. There is a limit of 10 sunfish area wide, and only 5 bass, which must be 18 inches in length, may be kept.. Reported by: Ohio DNR |
