Yes, I live in Logan County ... In the 70's the State stocked Rainbows, now in the 2000's the State stocks Browns. I slip a few miles south of home a couple of times in the winter to wade fish soft-water in the spring fed waters & a few times in the dog-days of summer for a 'kool break from Indian lake. I'm usually between Zanesfield Falls on the North & Pimtown road on the South along with some side trips up some of the creeks like Mac-o-chee... There are still some good size rainbows that escape trout clubs & stocked lakes here in Logan County...

BTW ...If I just want to fish for a couple of hours, Valley Hi area upstream toward Zanesfield is where I usually go...

Anymore the city kids beat it to death, like most known fishin' spots ...gotta luv the great outdoors & luv to take a long walk to score well...
