I have caught sauger in there several times in the spring downstream at the blue hole. No walleye though. Largemouth bass are fairly rare in there but there are some spotted bass in there and lots of smallies.
I don't know where the blue hole is. I was closer to Hwy 60 then. I do remember swimming at otter creek park when I was a kid and the water was ice cold then. Is the blue hole close to the ohio river? This was before they put in the new HWY60 bridge.
