2022.4.00.K3Description
The 2014 Fish Ohio pin features a yellow perch, as did the 2006 Fish Ohio pin. The perch is enameled in yellow, yellow green, and darker green shades on a pewter background. The words Fish Ohio and the date are underneath the perch. The fish's mouth and tail extend slightly beyond the edges of the circular pin base.Context
The Fish Ohio program recognizes anglers for noteworthy catches of Ohio’s fish. Since 1976, more than 400,000 anglers have been recognized for their catches. The Ohio Division of Wildlife took over the program's management in 1980.
Each angler with a qualifying catch receives a collectible Fish Ohio lapel pin. Each year’s pin has a different species of fish on it, along with the year, so the pin that the angler receives won’t necessarily have the same fish on it as the qualifying fish caught. Fish must be taken by legal angling and not from pay lakes.
