McGuffey Conservation Club
Located south of Ohio 309 on Marion Township Road 55 in McGuffey OH., This club offers a lake to fish in that is stocked with Catfish. This Club is in decline but I hope with the new leadership from Doug Keen, that they will turn this club around. I fished there last year and the lake was moss covered most of the year. I attended a fishing derby there last year and 14 of us fished for six hours and only caught five fish. After that I learned that it hadn’t been stocked with fish in over 3 years. I recently learned that they did stock it with 100 small catfish and 100 pounds of larger catfish. This is a small step in getting them back to the clubs glory days when there was over 300 members. They also have a firing range. Cost to join this club is $20 a year for a family membership.
All these places listed are great places to take your kids out fishing.
