Fishing the Falls

[Jackster]

I went to the falls of the Ohio for a couple hours yesterday and couldn't buy a bite. Any advice for fishing it this time of year? What water level? Should I be fishing by the ramp on Harrison or by the interpretive center? As I was coming up the hill, a guy told me he couldn't stop catching them earlier in the week. It seems like I either catch so many my arms are gonna fall off or can't get a bite. Unfortunately, the can't get a bites way out number the arms falling off.

I just kind of keep moving around until I find the fish. Some days they'll be stacked in one little cranny, and then gone the next. You just have to keep moving until you find the right spot. I usually start right up next to the railroad bridge, and then work my way down towards the interpretive center...if nothing there I pack up and go down to the boat ramp and see what's happening there.

Water is dropping and river fishes dont likes dropping water

If it ever stabalizes or when water starts to rise again, the bite should be on.
