Awesome fin! After seeing this map I might join the secret midnite float-tube guys this summer;)......
Seriously though I've never fished it but if I do I'll be referring to this map! Some of those underwater points an bumps look great! Then those feeding flats along some of the bank!!

Experienced Antrim guys? Any chance the stocked trout live in there year around???? I have no clue if it's even possible? Anybody ever catch them mid-summer????

There are for sure hold over trout in there. Spring fed with plenty of deep,oxygenated cool water there. Antrim is a spot that I like to ride my bike to. Been doing it for 30 years and count on one hand how many times I have seen a dead trout floating. I have seen more dead 6lb smallmouth! Funny because have only caught like 4 or 5 smallmouth there but know they are in there! Never really targeted trout there. Just Bass. You get there right at sunrise and you can hear/see them feeding. It's a Pop!!! Instead of the blurb of a bass!

I purchased a program called Contour Elite. This version has US Erie, some of the Ohio River, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio lakes (almost all of them). There's a demo mode so you can check it out for free on line. The demo only lets you access 1 lake in Texas somewhere - but it's enough to make you realize what a cool program it is.

I haven't fished Antrim in years, but we used to go regularly for the trout releases and there would always be some caught before they even released the new batch which tells me that they are in there year round. They just head to the deeper water when it gets warm out which can be hard to reach from shore.

I sometimes will go fish in Rose Lake down in Hocking Hills State Park in the middle of the summer and will often catch at least a few trout using power trout bait close to the bottom. I imagine it would be similar in Antrim.
