tail waters at Kinzua??

we are planning to go fishing around that area the weekend of the 12th

so far there is rain in the forecast but that will likely change in a couple days.
doesn't matter, a little rain hasn't stopped us before. As long as the creeks don't flood.
I don't know if we'll end up fishing close to the dam, or spillway... right now the plan is to hit the smaller streams in that area.
We are looking forward to it tho. We used to have a family camp up near Sheffield and we haven't been up that way in years.

I will be driving by on wednesday 4-9-08. Taking my grandpa for a ride to camp for the day. will let u know..........

The river is unfishable as of this a.m. I usgs site is down but it looked something like 12-15000 cfs when I drove by this morning.  If the usual rain keeps up it probably won't be fishable by opening day. 

The creek I was talking about flows into the brokenstraw. I think it runs with rt27 by pittsfield somewhere. It very small from what I remember. Of course I was 11 then and 36 now. It all seems like a blurr.

I made one trip to the kinzua tailraces several years ago on the 4th of july and there were a couple people slamming big trout one after another off the bank.  Is that normal?  I even got a few on a spinner but I really wasn't prepared to fish.  There was also a guy sitting out on his boat reeling them in on every cast, I'm not sure what he was catching though.  I can also recall a several fisherman just a stone's throw downstream who were just throwing out and letting their rods sit, that seemed a little strange that they weren't interested in all the other action.  It gave me the impression that those trout were real common and maybe they were fishing for walleyes or something.
