I am new to the discussion boards so hello everyone. I am new to the area and have been experimenting in some of the public fishing holes but really want to tackle the Ohio. I will have to do this from the bank for awhile as I have no boat. I understand that two good places would be the Mcalpine Locks and **** and the Falls of the Ohio. I have read several posts discussing fishing these places and can check the water level at the McAlpine ****. What I don't know is the ideal water level for each place (one post stated 12 feet or under at the lower gates) but have no reference for the Falls of the Ohio. Is there a magic place to look and a number that I should have in my bag of tricks, or do I just keep driving by the park until the water level is at a certain point.

I have the web address for the McAlpine **** and a number to call but I don't know how deep is the best time to go. I posted the info below for anyone who does not have this yet.
