I created a google map with the intention of sharing fishing holes in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area. The map is open for anyone to edit (although i think you must be signed in to google)... Please take a moment to share some fishing holes that you know of.

If you can't edit the map for whatever reason, but want to share, let me know in detail and i will add it.

I really hope that people think about what they are posting before doing so on that site...

yeah NPL, the allegheny, Mon, and Ohio aren't secrets.... but no need to post something on someones private property or of small streams

I really don't think anyone will volunteer any locations that are privately owned or a location they don't want to draw attention to... also there is a description field where notes on the location can be made; if it is private property they may make note of that there.

It isn't as if the map is without moderation either... if someone posts a pond in their friends back yard without permission it will be discovered and removed if necessary.

No one is spot burning... it is a voluntary effort! Share or don't, it is up to you.

All public property and public water, so it doesn't violate the spot burn policy.

However, it's still dumb.

Raz,
Can I count on your vote in the photo contest? I want a free fly rod.

I like this idea. I've been fishing this area of the rivers, and some other places, all of my life. Is there anything you would like me to contribute? As far as the rivers goes there is more room for fishing than anyone can imagine!
And what's with the spotburning craze in this area?

What's so "dumb" about this?

Any specific hot spots you have found, or spots that for whatever reason make for a good fishing experience.

Anyone add Highland Park Dam on there yet???

I do have a bit of tight lips when it comes to spots. Not that I shore fish the rivers much anymore. But that is also part of the reason that I don't shore fish much any more. As soon as Lawnchair Larry and Sixpack Steve get ahold of a good report, they and their 6 rods spralled out in a 100' stretch of 120' of fishable water really makes things a bit tough. Usually setting up right were you are fishing, as that is now their spot... If I knew that people reading this were all considerate human beings, I'd post all of my river spots. But, I can't say that either considerate or human being describes a good portion of folks that I run into when out on the rivers.

Pittsburgh Riverfishing 101 - with a bit of sarcasm (not much though)

1) Find creeks that enter river
2) Find dams built on river
3) Find structure built or felled into river
4) Find access to above spots
5) If you have all 4, and every time you go there, you are the only one there, do not post on internet...
6) Find shallow water, wear waders and get away from idiots fishing the rocks (seems like most good river fishing spots with rocks have idiots fishing from them).
7) Find CSOs, either avoid during high water or fish near if you want big carp and bad smell.
8) Buy boat and avoid idiots, although you must fish atleast 100 yards from idiots as they will cast heavy weights at you if they are not catching fish and you happen to drift "too close" (usually within eye site).
9) Fish lakes and streams to avoid river crowd.

Disclaimer - Most people that I run into on the banks are good people. I suppose most on this site are as well. But, if you haven't run into the ignorant type that I have listed, then you obviously don't fish the rivers much.

I think that applies to anywhere. You can't escape from assho1es no matter where you go.

Point taken though.

My Dad's truck got vandalized severely while we were on a hiking trip in Forbes forest. Thankfully we didn't have anything in it to be stolen, but we had to have the truck towed and have someone pick us up.
