Fishing At Piedmont Reservoir

AKA: Piedmont Lake

Fishing for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, flathead catfish, black crappie, white crappie, bluegill, white bass, muskie and saugeye at Piedmont Reservoir in Ohio.

Known for quality muskie, bass and saugeye fishing, Piedmont Reservoir is a 2,300-acre lake in the east-central part of the state. Nearly 40 miles of shoreline is surrounded by trees with brush and laydowns in the water providing cover to fish and baitfish alike. The lake also offers good fishing for catfish, crappie, bluegill and white bass. Outboard motors have a 10 horsepower-maximum limit, so the lake is ideal for small fishing boats, canoes and kayaks. A boat ramp, food, gasoline, and boats-motors rentals are available at Piedmont Marina. At other locations a second boat ramp, parking and restrooms are also open to the public. Nearby camping and lodging provide headquarters for a quick fishing trip or a family vacation.
