I'll drive over a 100 miles to fish the Pike Island pool up by Steubenville on occasion.

Also how was the Alum water level? In NEO many of our reservoirs are below winter pool. I don't mind, it just concentrates the crappie!
Water level was perfect IMO and just a hair above summer pool. We caught the fish in 10-15 FOW. Might have to try the OH River sometime
