Well guys, if you fish for Smallmouth Bass, you better hit the Yough soon. Smallmouth Fishing is at it's peak right now. When you take a couple dozen of minnows to the river at 6 in the evening and run out way before dark, you know the fishing is good. I always carry a couple of buggers and zonkers in case I run out of bait and thankfully I was still able to catch fish into the dark. The Smallmouth I have been catching are even bigger than last year with most fish averaging around 17 inches. I have done good everywhere from Connelsville to Smithton. I'm even picking up Bass in many stretches of the Sewickley creek. If you like to fish for Smallies, now is the time. I've also been catching more Walleye this year than last. More Stripers too. I haven't latched into any RiverHorse carp yet this year, maybe I need to chum my favorite fishin hole with corn.

I haven't seen you this year Hotshot, you still come this way to fish?

I've been driving this white Buick for the last couple of years, before that I had a S10 PU. You had to see it last year as well as this year, I logged over 100 days in that hole last year. I'm getting close to that for this year as well. I know that spot pretty good. Let me know when that party is and I'll chum every day for the week prior and maybe we can lure in some Smithton Steelhead. Haven't caught many of those this year.

27ModelT,

That was me fishing there all those years in the evenings. No one else except for a few local guys fished that area after trout season.

I will be on my way to Erie or I would think about going down. From what I heard last night the river was in great shape.

Used my extra minnies in Dawson this morning. While harrassing the Bass it was nice to see a few Trout both in Dawson and in Smithton last night. Fished Connellsville for lunch. Heading to Adelaide for the evening. The water on the Yough is as good as it ever gets.

Minnows. I'll be out tomorrow in West Newton above the Bud Town riffles. I'll bet there is lots of trout up there too.
