Southeast Region

AEP ReCreation Lands (Morgan County) - Fishing pressure has been light in several of the ponds so far this year. Early bird anglers report good catches of largemouth bass when casting plastic worms. For a free permit or map of the ReCreation Lands, call 1800-WILDLIFE.

Tycoon Lake (Gallia County) - Early season crappie fishing is always popular in this 204-acre lake. Successful anglers report that fishing with minnows or white or chartreuse Twister Tails in two- to eight-foot depths near brush piles, stick-ups, or old submerged fencerows have produced catches of seven- to nine-inch long fish. Tycoon is also a favorite bass fishing destination. Jig n' pig combos have been typical early spring success bait while fished along the old fencerows or among the many subsurface stumps. Other largemouth hot spots include the northwest corner from the south dam; water northwest of the south dam parking lot from near shore to midlake; water near the south shore of the east dam; and the entire northwest shore associated with the topographic inlet.

Lake Logan (Hocking County) - An annual stocking of saugeye occurs in this 317-acre lake, providing anglers with good fishing opportunity of 12- to 15-inch fish. Most anglers fish minnows floating or in six- to 10-foot depths. The beach area of the lake is a typical saugeye hotspot in early spring. Lake Logan also has a fair population of white crappies. Popular crappie bait includes fishing jigs with smaller twister tails or a minnow-tipped jig.
