The Ohio wildlife division notes fishing is good statewide with near perfect water and favorable weather but some areas see anglers staying home. In Central and Southern regions Adams County streams are clear with bass and catfish active. Buckeye Lake yields white bass and bluegills. Rocky Fork and Tykoon in Gallia County strong for crappies and catfish respectively. Southwestern Ohio reports excellent fishing with bass and bluegills, plus carp, catfish and suckers. Miami rivers and several lakes like Grant, Kiser, Spring Valley and Loramie cited as productive.
