Franklin County
No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 18 named waters in Franklin County.
That doesn't mean they've been cleared
Most waters in the United States have never been sampled for contaminants. An absence of an advisory means Ohio hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check Ohio EPA / Ohio Dept. of Health — Ohio Sport Fish Consumption Advisory before eating your catch, and see Ohio's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
