I went to the thread about it but the patch wasn't working so all Ohioans what are our regulations do you guys know? I would like some help getting started out there! And also any helpful threads on fish care would be keen.
 
Also if you have trouble finding the exact regulations you can contact your state fisheries department and ask them, that is what I had to do for Maine's collection laws.
 
Thanks that helped alot! I think that was the one with the bad link that didnt work before

What do you suggest I use to fish with? I thought about a fish tank net but the sight said about a minnow dipnet or seine.
 
It really depends on what you are going for and what size fish you are targeting....what are you thinking for your tank?
 
oh also the link in my signature might be good for you as the guy who runs the site is from Ohio I believe and is quite knowledgeable.
 
i have a bunch of natives that i am looking to get rid of (free)PM me i can ship too if you pay for it or you could pick up or ill deliver them of your close to cincinnati
 
Ok ill look into the forum and the tank size is only a 30gallon so i was thinking a stream setup would be best and I would like some plants in there too i might add a powerhead a small one to give it the current darters need.
 
If i had another tank i would get them from you but I really wanna catch my own first time.
