ORIGINAL: smallhook I've seen bunches of tubes pulled between and under rocks (and busted off) this year, more than I usually do. I fish primarily between Layton and Smithton although I did spend a big chunk of time in South Connellsville this year. Not a great year, good, but not great like two years ago (07). I like to use bait on the Yough, I usually use medium fatheads but occasionally I ramp it up with big shiners or suckers. I love slingin minnies with my flyrod while wading the Yough, for me it is heaven. I don't know much about fly fishing but aren't you supposed to use Flies and such? Seems like it would make things alot easier to throw minnies with a spinning outfit! YG I tend to get a better drift using a flyrod. Maybe if I was fishing from shore but when I'm wading I can really work the holes better using a flyrod. I have four rods I use depending on the situation but my goto rod on the Yough is a four weight, four piece, Cabelas PT flyrod with a double taper floating fishing line. I tie in a four foot piece of weighted flyline into my leader and get a couple of dozen medium fatheads and head out. I fished with a spinning rod for 40 years and was looking for something new and I found it in a 9½ foot St.Croix Avid seried rod a few years ago. I strip pleanty of flies for the fun of it but if you really want to haul in fish all day, bait is the ticket on the Youghiogheny river. == Rich
