Is there anywhere one can fish in or very near Columbus and eat the fish without dying?

If you're worried about mercury concentrations and the like, I'd stick with the Alum Creek or Big Walnut systems over, say the Scioto/Olentangy. (this is based on advisories I've read, but, I don't think any of them are particularly harmful unless you have a serious catch and eat habit.)

We used to fish Alum Creek for Walleye, etc., and--so far--I'm still not dead.

I fished way back, in the 80s. I lived at where the bike trails started, at least at the time, near Wilson Bridge and the Olentangy. I was told then that I couldn't eat the fish unless they were further upstream due to pollution. Same with the Scioto River when I had the energy to bike there. Ha. I was allowed to bike many miles away as a ten year old back then, that would never happen now.
