Paine Creek fishing regulations

Ohio EPA classifies water on Paine Creek as Exceptional Warmwater Habitat and Warmwater Habitat, managed as Exceptional Warmwater 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.
