Actually grew up fishing the Little Miami with my dad in Dayton...As far as Cincy goes the Little Miami is pretty good from Loveland to Milford and a little beyond. There are a couple canoe liveries along there as well but from Loveland to Milford is the best close range spot.
I prefer to fish it up near Dayton, have done several canoeing trips up there. Often we would put in near Xenia at Fairground Rd. & Hilltop Rd. We would take two cars and park the second at the Narrows Reserve Park or Lower Bellbrook Rd. It is only a couple of miles but there are some sweeeeet smallie holes you would never know existed if you didn't have a canoe or float.
Also, if you feel like driving up to Dayton another time check out the Stillwater north of Dayton near Piqua...great canoe spot love fishin that river, good Rockbass there as well as smallies.
Hope this helps!
TJ
