Sunfish Fishing Tips

Sunfish Fishing Tips

Sunfish are found in almost any water area in the state. They provide fishing opportunities to anglers of all skill

levels and are considered one of the best eating fishes in Ohio.

TIPS

Keep moving. Fish different areas and different depths until you find a school of sunfish. Use a slip bobber to easily fish different depths and to consistently fish the same depth once the fish are located.
Fish near structure (cover). Sunfish like to hold near any type of structure including vegetation, submerged trees or brush, rock piles and drop offs or old road beds.
Look for spawning beds in spring.
Fly fishing during mid summer, especially in evenings, is very effective.
