They basically point to the  parking lots of fishing spots  on the lakes
for the most part.

Here is Hoover's Map:

I don't know who does the Scioto's but if you call the Franklin Co.
park system, and/or the DNR, they can usually help you.

BTW Hoover's M,N,&L are great for Prothonotary pics. ;-D

I have seen many references to "area D", "area L", or similar references but have no idea where I can find out what locations these point to.   I am totally familiar with "The Pit" etc at places like Greenlawn but last year was my "Year of the Duck" ...as it were.   I had never spent time with ducks (except the ubiquitous mallards) before last year.  Is there a web site or publication that lists these areas for the different reservoirs?  I have noted some really nice sightings on the listserver at (for example) Hoover but am not sure how to locate the best areas.  I am especially interested in areas where I can get as close as possible for photography.
