Our very own Jym Ganahl has just the spots to make your day of fishing perfect, right here in Columbus!
Scioto River
Grab your gear and find a spot by the Scioto. You may just find a smallmouth bass at the end of your line! Catfish and northern pike are also caught along the river. Popular spots to sit and fish? The Greenlawn Dam.
Alum Creek Lake
We hope your toolbox is stocked because this lake is full of crappie, saugeye and muskies just waiting to be caught on a national holiday!
Clear Fork Lake
This lake covers 944 acres if fishing water with 14 miles of shoreline so it shouldn’t be hard to find the perfect spot to set up camp and catch a fish! Patience and skill will win you a largemouth bass, bluegill or even a channel catfish.
