• Where to Fish on Ohio Power Company Pond Mb-165

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Fish documented in Morgan County include bluegill, slenderhead darter, orangespotted sunfish and logperch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Anyone new to this water should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 73°F and January near 28°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. This water runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
