YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Anxious anglers gathered at Mill Creek MetroParks Thursday morning as Ohio's Division of Wildlife delivered 2,500 rainbow trout to Lake Glacier.  Lake Glacier, along with Lake Cohassat and Lake Newport was closed last July and kept closed up until last month.

"There are certain spots that we like to go to and fish and we didn't get to do that last year because of the weather," said Teddy Gibson of Struthers.

In June, hundreds of fish started turning up dead in Mill Creek Park's Lake Newport, which eventually feeds into Lake Glacier.  Overflow from Youngstown's storm sewers and high e.Coli levels were to blame on the kill.

After months of testing, the park decided to re-open Lake Glacier, Lake Cohassat and Lake Newport in March, just ahead of the park's annual trout release.  The release brought out nearly a hundred anglers to the banks of Lake Glacier, including Lorenzo Ragozine and his dad Larry.

"We're going to put them on the grill tonight.  Absolutely, we're going to eat these," said Larry Ragozine.  "The water is cleaned up pretty good and plus, they were just released.  So, we don't have no fear about it.  They are good looking fish.  They'll be perfect to eat."

While this weekend's weather look near perfect for catching even more trout, the Division of Wildlife reminds anglers they must be licensed, foul hooks aren't permitted and you only catch five fish per person per day.

"The focus is providing an opportunity for fishermen to come out and enjoy a resources and for youth, opportunities for fishing," said Tom Frank with the Ohio Division of Wildlife.

Like with any other animal that is caught or killed for food, the Ohio Division of Wildlife and the Mahoning County District Board of Health remind anglers to make sure they clean their fish. Keep it separate from other foods to avoid cross contamination.  Cook the fish to an internal temperature of 145 degrees and stores any leftovers in a refrigerator at 40 degrees.
