Ohio River angling
Ohio River angling
My son and his buddy started an Instagram account, OhioRiverAnglers, which has over 4,000 followers.
Here are a walleye and large flathead catfish my son caught this summer on the Ohio River near our home, about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA. The one bright side of the death of the steel industry is how much cleaner our rivers are now.
And here are a hybrid striper caught on the Ohio by his friend Nick, as well as a drum caught on the Monongalia River, a tributary of the Ohio-- one of the few rivers in the United States that flows north.

Re: Ohio River angling
I left Ohio many years ago. Back then the Ohio river was only good for carp and catfish. Great to see it is flourishing with so many species of fish. Never would have dreamed of seeing a wall-eye from the old muddy Ohio!
Thanks for the pics.

Re: Ohio River angling
I was born in ohio close to the ohio river and as a kid was not allowed in the water, great to see it came back, like the stories my grandfather used to tell about all the fish he caught & swimming in the river after fishing, haven't been back there for years I miss it now
