Ten Mile

Hello. This is my first post, but i have been reading the board for a few weeks. I was wondering if anybody could maybe provide me with places to park my vehicle to fish 10 mile creek. i tried the search function but didn't find what i was looking for. i know about 10 mile park and one other place, but was just trying to find info on other places. i am not trying to take anyone's spot, just looking for suggestions.i would prefer spots closer to washington county than the waynesburg portion.

thanks

dont waste your time fish washington or canonsburg......the drillers are sucking water from the creek even ten mile park is terrible...been that way for 2 years...just got home from there...boaters are catching little to none also...

wolf where are u at? i lived in fredericktown for 21 years and fished quite a bit around the area i can probably help u find some fish depending on what u are looking to catch
 

For my Ichthyology class we just did a fish survey using electro fishing on tuesday. Pretty cool, at least I thought it was my first time doing that so it was awesome!!!

yup i remember the days we would catch 5 bullheads to 1 channel cat and be bummed....lol..bring back the bullheads....the water is cleaner because of the sewage plants....so they say...
they say theres so many baitfish because for the past 5 or 6 years near every fisherman has practiced catch and release...well seems like forever the fishing manual said 1 fish a month...and in the ten mile area i think none are edible now....the mon is the 9th polluted river in the US....

can someone tell me the rules pertaining to posting a creek private property? For example, if a creek has the yellow posted sign on trees only on one side, does that mean you cannot fish that creek? Or does it mean that the woods beyond those signs are private property?

Remember in Pa, landowners can own the streambed if the property line goes beyond the edge of the bank.

10 mile seems to have gone down hill in the past 3 or 4 years, always used to catch nice smallies on the north branch from marianna to clarksville but just cant find em anymore, always an have done well this year on saugers on the lower part of the creek, never tried the south branch but always wanted to.

I grew up fishing Ten Mile from Marianna to 79. Used to park across the dam in Marianna, or in the large parking lot adjacent to it. Caught some very nice smallmouth below the dam and last year even caught a few trout below and above the dam. If you fish around the bridge in Marianna keep your eyes open for suckers floating around that have been victimized by toothy critters...

I've also had success fishing across from Rudnicks bar. There are some deep holes to throw into and also some fast moving water to drift spinners in. Trout in that area as well.

i highly doubt it, if there is someone dumpped it in there somehow ive never heard of any musky in marianna

im a mail carrier and sometimes work out of the marrianna office ive never fished that part of ten mile. however ive heard stories from the locals that they have caught and seen muskys under the bridge area above the dam..however never seen any proof of that by picture. maybe only way to find out for sure is spend a little time fishin for them. know how it is when it comes to muskys alot of stories but not alot of proof.

i heard plenty of story of musky being caught above the dam but i never seen any pictures. when ten mile has water it is some very nice fishing!
