Mad River fishing regulations

Ohio EPA classifies water on the Mad River as Coldwater Habitat and Warmwater Habitat, managed as Coldwater Habitat and Warmwater Habitat. This is a designation of the fishery, not the season and creel rules. The posted signs and the current digest are the authority, not this page.
