Connoquenessing Smallies

First post so hello all. Been fishing from just above Ellport to down past the park for the past few years now and havent done too well. Did great about three years ago in the early part of april and through the begininning of summer. Found some nice holes and were catching decent smallies. One day we even caught a bunch of brookies on jointed raps. Also caught a few Walleyes down in where the slippery rock comes in below the bridge.

Anyone fish this area with any tips or reports from last year? thinking about goin up when the weather breaks.

Small rebel crayfish or skitter pop after dark work great.  I can't wait for walleye season to get here.  Last year was the first time I heard of countless nice walleye being caught from trusted friends.  Can't wait to actually target them. 

The only place I've ever fished it is around Zelie and Harmony. 

What's the big deal RIZ.  You the local pro or what?!!!!!!

ok quantumman let's hear about your favorite place to fish and we need specifics too, name, street number, hole name etc.  i didn't think so.  i don't care if you want to say such and such stream/river/lake is good and what you caught, on what bait; let's not take all the fun away from letting people find their own holes to fish.  unless you want to do it privately, that's ok.  but hey everyone do what they want and if your hole gets crowded, i'm happy for you too.

And the classic debate begins again...

There's smallies in the Connie?  Who knew!  Thanks guys!! 

I'm getting a charter bus leaving from Erie in a few weeks  Signups TBA    

Hey RIZ I'll take YOU or anybody to Arthur, Shenango, Wilhelm, Lock 9 or %#$@!!  and show you where I've caught fish.  Don't be greedy life is short. Enjoy it with friends, if ya have any. 
 
OH!!  And by the way.  I caught that 20 incher behind the 2nd rock, so there ain't no use lokking for him anymore.    Grow up!!!!

I've known about the Connie for years now and have never made the trip, the Yough is closer and there's just as many bass in there.  Doubt this post is going to make me make a special trip out there, well anymore than one that I would of been making anyway.  I do want to hit that area at least once!  I'll just hitch a ride with D-Nymph...
 
 
And while you're google mapping stuff, how about google maping me the location of the chick in your avatar...

hey quantum  i'm going to take you up on that offer.  i'd like to get to know shenago, i've never fished it.  i've never said i would not give anyone any info, i've have and will continue.  but i don't like to give specific spots over the internet.  if you were to pm me or i take you out, i'm an open book.  as for the connie,  anyone that want to float it with me is more than welcome, i have extra kayaks, and i'm always looking for help with shuttles.  how about it quantum, up for a float trip?

See this site is good for something  LOL

I've fished the stream a bit at the beaver/butler county line. There's a few spots I found but never really caught much. I'm clueless as to where to go on that stream. It's tough finding a good spot when you don't know the area really well.
Haven't been much north of it past the plaza where 68 turns north out of the main drag.

I'm a big fan of the Con....used to catch a lot of Tigers out of there.
