Walleye fishing should be good on it, but have not found the spots. can anyone give me a clue. i remember a hump right off a boar ramp years ago and thought that would be good also but no longer have a clue where that hump is either. Help appreciated.

Dam lake is funny. Found small mouth so far and no walleye.
Forgot what the edges are like. Most of the time we are fishing 10 feet off the rocky shore and fishing 15 to 30 feet of water.
Fishing this weekend again before buck, I am hoping to fish the tail waters instead. we will see.

the last 1-2 weeks haven't been kind to us; but still here and there we caught some nice fish. attached is my second biggest of the year. About 24".

last night I tied into a nice brown trout. What a fight! I love the color and the fight of those big alleghany trout. With the river up (a little), perhaps we can get back to the success I was having in early november!

incidentally folks; the kinzua dam (and/or) tailwaters have been a very frequently recurring topic. You can see thread after thread, both here and in the old forum. A few folks have said stuff, then that still apply today. I am thinking that some of these old-timers, have said the same things so often, that they are tired of repeating themselves.

Its understandable.

Generally as a matter of advice, it is better to come to the forum and ask ("Do you know where a certain bump is or what is the structure around XXX"), like Kth did.
worse and more often is the old standard ("I'm very new to kinzua lake; where are they catching fish? Any help will be appreciated")...

There's nothing wrong with that kind of thread Per se

but its very redundant. A 15 minute search of old threads will yield many experienced fishermen answering that VERY question. While its true, you Might get a different answer. I doubt the difference will be very substancial...

Kinzua HOLDS it all mysteries very well. If I can , stand right next to an expert, fishing within 5' of him. using the same lure, at the same time, with (what seems to me) to be identical technique and then only catch a fraction of his fish...
well then you know, that Kinzua both above and below the dam... only yields fish to the persistant veteran. (and BTW) this happens all the time to me- its not that my friend is luckier.... he's just plain more skilled.

I was down there the other day with my uncle..fished grubtails,creek chubs, x-raps, and big bucktail spinners..caught 5 eyes combined 4 on chubs one on grubtail, several smallies, and a couple pike..first time there in a few years..the secret is to search for warmer water to find the fish
