Fishing
Our waters are fully stocked and ready for anglers of all skill levels, featuring a robust population of saugeye, bluegill, largemouth bass, white and black crappie, channel catfish, and white bass. From quiet morning fog to bright summer afternoons, it's always the perfect time to fish Deer Creek Lake.
Buy a Fishing License
The Department of Natural Resources has stocked the lake with Saugeye annually. Fishing is allowed from boats and the shoreline, in and along Deer Creek Lake and in Deer Creek below and above the lake. Ohio fishing licenses are required and can be purchased at Frostie’s on Crownover Mill Road, or Webb’s on State Route 207 in Pancoastburg. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources conservation officers enforce game laws.
Fish and wildlife management is a shared responsibility—the Department of Natural Resources and the US Corps of Engineers manage the fish and wildlife programs by habitat improvement, nesting site development, and food-plot programs for the benefit of many fish and wildlife species.
