you can access alot from the bike trail,but you will have way more fun if you float it. Its not to bad a couple class 2 rapids but if you can paddle a canoe youll be fine. There is a launch below the dam and you can take out in ohiopyle

It can be a challenging stretch of water. The fish can be very unpredictable. I have noticed if there is a heavy hatch on the water or some type of other natural influence, the fish are difficult to catch. I have been there in the evening and caught fish on just about every cast and returned in the morning and had to work hard to catch a fish.

My Advice:
1.) as mentioned before use a noodle rod
2.) try to cover as much water as possible - you will eventually find fish that are willing to bite. The smallest pools will hold fish the same as the larger pools
3.) if you are a live bait fishermen, go prepared with an arsenal. Night crawlers have been my best performer, but I have been there when they would only hit meal worms.
4.) make sure you have a couple different types of rapalas or pins minnows with you

The Yough is a tough nut to crack. I'll agree with ripper about fish everywhere one day to swearing fish don't even exist the next day. All I can tell you is that felt soles with carbide studs and a wading staff are a must. Some folks on other message boards think wading staffs will get you in trouble but I feel panic only occurs when your noy prepared.
