Clear Creek
Located just southeast of Lancaster in Clear Creek Metro Park lies Clear Creek, one of the newest streams in Ohio to receive the title of trout stream. A new project taken on by the ODNR has recently become the recipient of anuual stockings of 6"-8" brown trout.
The fishable area runs throughout the entirety of Clear Creek Metro Park and access points can be found all along the road that runs through the park. It, too, is a very scenic river with hemlock trees growing alongside it, with large boulders and deep holes to be found throughout the course of the stream.
Fisherman who visit this stream will find that casting can be difficult at times due to the amount of low-hanging tree branches and the fact that this stream is not quite as wide as the Mad River or the Clear Fork River. Clear Creek, however, does not hold as much publicity, and therefore attracts less visitors. This can make for a nice day of fishing, since it is likely that you may not encounter another fisherman on the river while you are there.
This trout stream, too, has a minimum keep size of 12" for trout and a daily catch limit of two trout. It is a nice little trout stream, and is the only trout stream in the Southeastern portion of Ohio.

Famous quotes containing the words clear and/or creek:
“... is it not clear that to give to such women as desire it and can devote themselves to literary and scientific pursuits all the advantages enjoyed by men of the same class will lessen essentially the number of thoughtless, idle, vain and frivolous women and thus secure the [sic] society the services of those who now hang as dead weight?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
