Fishing maps for nine Ohio River navigation pools, with survey-backed depth where available and clearly labeled modeled depth elsewhere.
Built for useful map scale
Locks and dams create named navigation pools with different channels, access, current and fishing structure.
One page per mapped area
95 miles from Meldahl Dam through downtown Cincinnati to Markland Dam — big cats, sauger, hybrids and drum.
62 miles from R.C. Byrd Dam past Huntington, Ashland and Ironton to Greenup Dam; hybrid and cat water with a famous dam tailrace.
95 miles from Greenup Dam past Portsmouth and Maysville to Meldahl Dam; sauger stack in the tailraces all winter.
75 miles from Markland Dam past Madison and the Kentucky River mouth to the Falls of the Ohio at Louisville.
114 miles from the Falls of the Ohio through the Leavenworth bends to Cannelton Dam; classic flathead water.
55 miles from Cannelton Dam past Tell City, Rockport and Owensboro to Newburgh Dam.
60 miles past Evansville, Henderson and the Green River mouth to J.T. Myers Dam at Uniontown.
23 miles from Montgomery Locks and Dam past Midland, East Liverpool and Chester down to New Cumberland Locks and Dam near Stratton — upper-Ohio sauger, smallmouth, hybrid stripers and catfish.
30 miles from New Cumberland Locks and Dam near Stratton past Toronto, Steubenville, Weirton and Wellsburg down to Pike Island Locks and Dam above Wheeling — sauger, smallmouth, hybrid stripers and channel catfish.
Choose with the evidence visible
The released set contains 6 survey-backed pools and 3 modeled pools. Their published maximum depths run from 40 to 80 ft, with a median of 57 ft. Those numbers make scale differences visible, but they do not make sections interchangeable: contour provenance, access, species evidence and local structure remain specific to each child map.
Start with the section closest to the water you actually plan to fish. Then compare its depth-data label and species roster with an adjacent section before treating a pattern as system-wide. A survey-backed child is the stronger choice for precise breakline planning; a modeled child is broader reconnaissance and should be checked against sonar and conditions on the water. Return to this overview whenever you cross into another mapped reach, pool or coastal section.

Planning questions
Locks and dams create named navigation pools with different channels, access, current and fishing structure.
6 released maps use surveyed or official agency bathymetry. Each child keeps its own provider, product, datum and not-for-navigation disclosure.
No. Species, forage, access and fishing spots remain scoped to each child map and retain their evidence labels.
