Tionesta Outflow
Any news on success at Tionesta outflow? I'm going to camp this weekend and was considering throwing a 8" creek chub for muskies to get out for a while. Let me know.

It's a nice spot and always open water this time of the year. I always see muskie when I'm not fishing for them. They like to eat your pearch and smallies as you're reeling them in. Also, no pressure this time of year. During the summer this place is always busy. I will post pics if I'm lucky.

I'm curious to see how you do. Post when you get back. I hit the tionesta area pretty hard for musky in spring/summer/early fall and do pretty good but never go up camp in the winter so don't know what its like.

i saw a lot of those toothy critters there early spring another spot maybe to try is where the creek dumps in the river caught them there before. good luck and nice choice on the Canada brew gotta love camp my family has one in west hickory.
I haven't failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

God darnit! Coyotes are in right? I'm not sure why I have this bird dog on my side, officer! Is that feathers sticking out of your back pocket?

Realized Friday night that grouse ended earlier than small game so went squirrel in the am. I see them all through deer but instead saw 15+ wood peckers and a whole lot of snow but no furry tails. Went to outflow later Saturday afternoon, water was at a trickle and crystal clear. Threw the creek chub for about an hour or so at the base so with little luck. Labatts was bitn though. Also, had to stop while 40+ turkey crossed German Hill Rd. on my way back to camp. They didn't even wave thanks. Till next time.

Got a buddy who has a camp on German hill. His uncle does pretty well on the muskies in the creek certain times of the year

I'm not familiar with the area but if some would like to meet up or head down from Erie to fish it we could work something out? I make my own bucktails and clousers for them. PM me if interested

Lots of snags if you're using jigs there. I fish the rocks that cross the creek just below the outflow and run lures right up through the fast water. Have had several follows right up to my feet but no hits. 'fish whisper' it's easy to get to and access. This time of year is good because no one is fishing. Come spring and summer you'll need to get there early or get there about dinner time to get a spot on the railing. (railing is best access to net a big toothy monster) I also free float crayfish there for smallies right down the outflow slowly retrieving my line in. This prevents snags and is as natural a drift as you can get. This spring I want to break out the fly rod and walk the special regs section down to the river with some big bucktails just for fun. - Blaze
