Pleasant Hill Reservoir (781 acres; Richland-Ashland County line) –Good numbers of crappie from 9-to-10 inches can be found. Try fishing with minnows under a slip bobber in 8-to-12 feet of water near submerged trees. The lake also has excellent populations of largemouth bass, saugeye and yellow perch. For saugeye, trolling a jointed 2 1/2-inch, 1/4-ounce, lure about 10 to 15 feet deep is usually very effective. At nighttime, try trolling in 10-to-15 feet of water in front of the beach with a jig tipped with a live minnow. Smallmouth bass: can be caught in the deeper, lower end of the reservoir while more largemouth bass are caught in the shallower upper end of the lake
