Alum creek has its problems. They are exagerated by the general public though. This may be a blessing to the stream and people currently fishing it. In a 5 mile stretch I have never witnessed anyone other than myself wading, or fishing this stream (except a lowhead dam). The fish have probably never seen lures in their lives and are extremely eager to bite. There are also a very large and strange variety of fish calling this stream home. I have caught smallmouth, largemouth, kentucky spotted, saugeye, walleye, many suckers, channel cats (largest 15 pounds), bullheads, drum, yellow perch, all sunfish, gar, white bass, seen muskie (survivors of Alum Creek Spillway), and have heard reports of people catching nice shovelheads. Oh yea, CARP LIKE CRAZY. The streams structure is very different from other central ohio streams. I have found THE deepest holes in this creek for its small size. Some I guess to be 12 feet or deeper. I would recamend fishing north of Airport road near Ohio Dominican or south of Livingston Avenue on the south side of bexley. The areas in between are pretty silty other than a few wild areas south of Main Street, and two roller dams located at Wolfe and Nelson Park. Some of the expertise on this website could really pull some nice fish out of this untouched watershed.
