I have been looking into some of this recently and will add:
When fishing from a boat, a license from PA or OH is accepted on the entire lake, whether in OH or PA. But when fishing from shore, you must have a license from the particular state in which that section is located. I believe the same is true with boat licenses (we use an unpowered canoe)
I heard there is really good fishing there, ducks walk on the backs of fishes near the hatchery in Linesville, but couldn't find anything about fishing near the hatchery or town?
I'd also be interested in a nice park to satisfy the family from the camping side, yet allow us all to fish fairly close to camp.
