The Mill Creek MetroParks Board of Park Commissioners approved a fishing rule change at Monday’s board meeting.

The new rule states fishing in park district waters is permitted in accordance with Ohio Division of Wildlife regulations from March 1 through Nov. 30 of each calendar year.

Fishing is permitted in all creeks, streams, lakes and ponds unless otherwise prohibited by the park district.

Under the previous rule, fishing was permitted only in waters south of Lake Newport Dam, south of Lake Glacier Dam to the Lake Cohasset Dam and Yellow Creek, and at other facilities with special permission.
