The forecast for the Scioto @ Columbus is typically dead-on, only exception was Ice-Out: The forecast was for the river to slowly drop, but it rose like 10 feet!
Not sure how accurate the Ohio river predictions are, I would tend to think the Ohio would be hard to forecast due to all it's tribs.
i was wondering how the fishing at maretta where the muskingum river runs into the ohio river. never fish in the ohio river before just like to try it.
I've fished at the Ohio-Muskingum confluence just a couple of times and caught only a few fish. But that was back when I had no idea what I was doing (compared to now, when I have only a vague idea of what to do.) However, that confluence, especially down in front of the Lafayette Hotel, is supposed to be fantastic catfishing. Every year, there are at least a couple of 40+ pound flatheads pulled out of there. I have no idea how it is right now but I'm pretty sure it's fairly deep in that area and you might find a wintering hole full of catfish.
if you have a boat there is a small power plant about 5 miles down river.{ amp ohio ]
it is usually good early spring. hot water discharge. cats, hybrids,saugers.drum.fish the oputflow.grubs,minnows.if you can get shad that is best. good luck. if yopu can catch some small white bass or small drum. there excellent for flatheads there at the point and at the discharge. tight lines gobie
