lock/dam on ohio river, route 68 near industry, pa

So i drove past there on the way to western beaver high school.  I pulled down onto a side road to get a better view.  Anyone know if you can fish from shore up against the dam on the route 68 side? Or how far down river can u fish?   I saw a fence but couldn't tell how far down it blocked off.  Looked like a place id like to try but wondering if you can access it legally.  Thanks.

    That is the Montgomery l&d. Yes you can fish it from the 68 side, I was there for the first time a few weeks ago. The shore is really steep leading down to it so be careful, but the place has a decent amount of fishermen. Good fishing, I will go back for sure.

    the montgomery dam is an excellent place to fish. I frequently fish there.  Cant give you much more info since everyone else has already gave you the nitty gritty! You can fish the other side (Potter TWP/Raccoon TWP) if you walk the train tracks back to a trail head and follow it down to the river.
