anyone bin[:D] fishin the yough lately? went the other night & caught 6 nice trout and a couple smallies. what a great river!



smallhook -> RE: yough river (6/17/2009 9:33:10 PM)

Fished Today, Wednesday, played hooky from work and had a great day.  The Bass have finally turned on and there are still pleanty of Trout feeding to make for some fabulous fishing.  I figured the storms might make the river un-fishable this weekend so I went today.  Caught Trout, Sauger, Walleye, Smallmouth and Rockbass today.

Any musky or pike in the yough?



71gto -> RE: yough river (6/18/2009 9:39:12 AM)

There are some nice muskies in the Yough.  There are pike but not as plentiful as the musky population is.
 
A couple of weeks ago, we watch a musky come up and bit in half a sucker my buddy was reeling in....lol...he almost got pulled in.
 
Hope that answers your question.

Where at on the yough were you guys fishing? Thinking of heading upto the yough here within the week at some point.



eyesandgillz -> RE: yough river (6/18/2009 10:07:38 AM)

Yough was a mess this AM. 



smallhook -> RE: yough river (6/18/2009 12:18:36 PM)

and getting worse this afternoon.  If we get no more rain it might be wadable Sunday but I wouldn't count on it.



Estimated -> RE: yough river (6/18/2009 4:46:24 PM)

Been getting alot of smallies this week but now the river is blown out I'd say early to mid next week you can fish again. 71gto why was your buddy fishing for suckers? LOL...If it's where I think It is I've seen that fish...........



71gto -> RE: yough river (6/19/2009 6:14:57 AM)

Pete,
 
It is where you think it is, now he wasn't fishing for suckers, he just happened to catch it by accident! He hates catching suckers, but I told him they are great tasting when smoked, he gave me that "are you crazy" looks....lol

MVfisher -> RE: yough river (6/22/2009 12:48:15 PM)

I'm new here.  Long time large mouth fisherman in lakes, but never fished the rivers, let alone for smallies or trout.

I live near Smithton Hole and West Newton, so this is where I'm going to start trying my hand at wading the river.

I'm currently ultralight 5' to 6' rods, 4lb test.

Any help/guidance you guys can throw my way would be appreciated.  Equipment? Lures?  Techniques?  I'll be fishing in the evenings after work.

Looking forward to trying it out next week if the river goes down and clears up.



Puffy -> RE: yough river (6/22/2009 12:50:38 PM)

 
So the Yough is still blown out from last week ?



MVfisher -> RE: yough river (6/22/2009 12:56:04 PM)

I haven't gone to the river to check this weekend, but I'm assuming since all the creeks and lakes are still high and muddy, yes.



eyesandgillz -> RE: yough river (6/22/2009 1:42:11 PM)

It was raging chocolate milk this AM in Sutersville.  It will be a couple days, at least.



mxdad66 -> RE: yough river (6/22/2009 6:57:02 PM)

So,who had the centerpin out Saturday and hurt a few of the guy's egoe's that I work with. 75 fish for the pin and 10 for the the winer's I work with. GOOD JOB!



the_lip_ripper -> RE: yough river (6/23/2009 11:00:56 AM)

I am not sure if the guys you work with were fishing around me,but I had the 'Pin' out in Confluence on Saturday.

MeTaLaNgLeR -> RE: yough river (6/25/2009 7:36:38 AM)

Just fished the yough last night by the Sutersville bridge. I got skunked, water is still up and the current is moving pretty good, still just a little stained. Packed up about a half hour of messing around. Shot out to Indian Lake in North Versailles. Same thing there minus the current, water is stained, couldnt catch a cold. Flipped a white spinnerbait around to try to entice a bass



Swans500 -> RE: yough river (6/25/2009 12:48:47 PM)

Just fished Cedar Creek area. Still about 1 foot visibility and moving fast and a bit too high for the normal wade. Managed one 5 inch Smallie....only bite in 3 hours....



albud1962 -> RE: yough river (6/25/2009 7:47:00 PM)

Yes, its a closely guarded secret on where they are  but definitely there are some monsters.



hoch999 -> RE: yough river (6/26/2009 4:14:51 PM)

think i'm gonna take a walk up to the piers above Dawson this evening, will let you know how i do.



silverbeast -> RE: yough river (6/26/2009 4:58:02 PM)

Took a canoe out of Youghiogheny outfitters to Whitsett today. Water was A little high, and stained. Landed 2 trout 17'' and 12'' rainbows and about a dozen bass, not a bad day but my expectations were a little higher. Usually do pretty good through that stretch of river.



btexpress -> RE: yough river (6/26/2009 10:23:52 PM)

I just got back from the Yough. Only landed one fish, a 25" pike. Waiting for the water to drop a little more, then hit the smallmouth.



hoch999 -> RE: yough river (6/27/2009 7:45:49 PM)

last minute change in plan, went to Lake Lynn instead, got 1 sucker ans i small channel cat



Shadyfisher -> RE: yough river (6/27/2009 11:35:53 PM)

The yough was the place to be today. Some great fishing
