It's in Springfield.

Lol! To be more precise, it is on 224 about 3 miles east of the GoodYear blimp hangar. It is tied for the 3rd largest inland Ohio NATURAL lake, with Congress at 200 acres even.

The town borders SE Akron. There is a free lauch off of 224, and a nicer pay one in Lakemore, on the other side of the lake.

Funny how the catfish crumbles :D Went out last night with the fool and fished until 2am. One small 14" channel to show for it. Same spot, same bait, same weather pattern.

Jim did catch a soft shell turtle which was the highlight of the evening. I will post pic.

Such is fishing.
