Look for Clark Chapel Acres Recreation Pond in the Gallia County part of Ohio. Elevation runs to 666 feet. It covers about 4 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is a small entry by Gallia County standards. Gallipolis lies 9.7 miles from the water. For a city, Meads is 43 miles off. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.
There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Reported across Gallia County: banded darter, black crappie and bluegill. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Read Clark Chapel Acres Recreation Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.
Climate records put July near 74°F and January near 30°F. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Expect Clark Chapel Acres Recreation Pond to follow that timing.
Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Tycoon Lake sits 3.9 miles off and takes the overflow. The position on Clark Chapel Acres Recreation Pond is worth confirming on the day.
