I plan to get the boat out on the river this weekend. I am fairly new to this area and use to saltwater Chesapeake Bay fishing. I fished several times last year in the Allegheny from Fox Chapel up to the Kiski River with very little luck. Clearly I am doing something wrong. I tried every kind of live bait, bucktails, plastics, you name it. It must be where I am fishing or I am not maneuvering the boat properly relative to the current...No idea as I landed many large bass and pike at Arthur, Deep Creek, and Yough Reservoir...River fishing is something I have not been able to crack.

Any advice on techniques, favorable pools would be great. Will try to focus on getting Walleye this weekend.

i think the main technique is making sure you on or close to bottom. 10 - 12 ft of water should do you good. also look for rocks and boulders or depressions (holes) in main river sections.
