20 mile creek

How far up 20 mile do the fish travel ? The timber company I work for bought a piece of ground in NY state. South of Ripley. Do the fish on this end travel up the tribs that far??

    there is a real high dam at rt20 that not many fish can get up over . the water would have to be really high to get ovet it.but they will go as far upstream as they can on coneaut creek in ohio they go to conneautvile which is about 35 mi upstream

    It is alot farther then 35 miles by creek to Conneautville. You have to remmeber that the creek flows South for awhile then takes a major turn West for a good bit then makes anouther major turn East for quite awhile then goes South. I would be more then willing to say by stream miles its atleast 50 plus miles to Conneautville by creek.

    Fish make it way up on 20, usually.  21 miles of conny is in Ohio, the rest in PA.  I think it's 61 miles from the headwaters to the lake.  I can't remember what happened yesterday though..

    I can "almost" remember fishing the tribs (12-16-20 mile creeks) in the early 80's and seem to remember there being a few salmon in the creeks. I never caught one but did see them. Did catch a 10 lb brown trout out of 20 mile one fall. Is it just an old mind playing tricks or was there a few salmon back then ?

    bingsbaits,

    Your mind is not playing tricks on you there used to be alot of Salmon around at one time both Kings and Coho's.I sure will miss those days but at least I can say I had the chance to be there and enjoy those days.
