The statewide changes do not include Hoover Reservoir, which has site-specific regulations. Removing the channel catfish bag limit on smaller lakes and reservoirs increases angler opportunities, promotes harvest, increases the growth rates of the remaining fish, and improves the overall health of these populations.
For more information see the Oct. 7 Ohio Counicl meeting .

The Ohio Wildlife Council passed a slate of new rules and regulations at its regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Rules that take effect on Jan. 1, 2021, include new walleye and catfish daily limits.
The Ohio Wildlife Council approved a six-walleye daily limit across Lake Erie from March 1 to April 30, 2021. A separate walleye daily limit for the Sandusky River and Sandusky Bay from March 1 to April 30 has been rescinded. This change aligns the walleye daily limit with the rest of the Lake Erie Sport Fishing District.
Wednesday’s vote also removed the six-fish daily limit of channel catfish on inland lakes and reservoirs less than 700 acres. The statewide daily bag limit of one channel catfish 28 inches or larger remains in place.
