Take our annual back-to-school survey!
Happy Monday! I am already in my post-Olympics depression, patiently waiting for the Paralympic Games in a few weeks and Milano Cortina in 2026.

Outdoors: A disappointing 27th place for Ohio among fishing destination states
A new report by Captain Experiences — “an online platform that helps people find and book fishing and hunting trips quickly, easily, and with a process they can trust” — has Ohio woefully underperforming when compared with other well-known outdoor destination states.

There are top-notch guides all across the Lake Erie coast, many of whom also run in the pro circuits such as the Lake Erie Walleye Trail tournament. Bass tournaments also come through here as well. The platform used two criteria based on annual fishing licenses issued to nonresidents and annual fishing revenue from nonresidents and percentage shares of each within the state based on figures from 2022.
