Cincinnati Pay Lakes 



by Dave Roberts . . . map and paintings by Charles Harper 



IF YOU'VE flown into the Greater Cincinnati airport by day- 

 light, you've probably noticed clear-water ponds and lakes 

 of various sizes and shapes peppering the ground in and around 

 the city. These are the trade-marks of a recreational develop- 

 ment both unique and unheralded. Still it is one which could 

 be profitably copied by hundreds of communities. 



Most of those pools are devoted to fishing fishing for a fee. 

 Each day of each week, and particularly weekends, thousands 

 of ardent anglers flock to them. They've built an industry which 

 turns over $25,000 or more on pleasant weekends.
