Allegheny Res.

Fished the lake for the last  four days . Caught pike up to 28" some smallmouth, and also walleye . the lake is starting to clear up nice. Still warming up walleyes just starting to move a little shallower.  17" to 25" foot seemed to be the ticket and all walleye were between 14" to 14 3/4" none in the frying pan.

Never caught a legal walleye at Kinzua.  Lots of them 13-14-3/4" though.  Anyone have any idea why this is ?

sorry about responding till now, was up last weekend no luck on pike or walleye.  so i fished for what was hitting mostly smallies . i did catch my first lake trout 20" and fat. big rock bass also , most bass where 1 to 3 lbs . i have had luck catching walleye up to 24" throwing black & silver  bomber. going to fish deepcreek this weekend, will be back kinzua first week of june.

kinzua allegheny walleye association tourney was on 5/19-5/20 but didnt hear any results. info on kinzua is EXTREMELY tight lipped. must be some kind of cult up there that castrates a fella if they give out too much info. not saying it's wrong, as they want to protect their resource and not have a Steelhead Alley problem. just hard to believe info always has been and still is so tight lipped.

I've been going up their every summer for the past 7 years once or twice a year to camp. I have never really caught anything worth while. Granted I do not fish from a boat and mainly use night crawlers, but still never caught anything worth while or seen except for a 24" northern my wife caught, other than that it has been sub legal walleyes, small smallmouths, carp, and hundreds of rock bass. I just think the lake is very hard to fish for anyone yeh you maybe able to catch fish below the dam but in the lake I believe it is very hard to fish for anyone. The reasons people are tight lipped may be because they actually aren't catching many, it really wouldn't surprise me

There are guys that get them but they work really specific structure and they don't share anything, especially on this board.  The action can definitely be pretty decenct up north on the reservation and at times in other, more southerly locations...but I just have never found it to be a very consistently productive walleye lake.  I think they should put stripers in it and be done. My .2

Don't be surprised if you find a horse head in your bed when you get home Marty!!!  ...here's a link to the results

I'm not sure what happened but I can't open their home page again. (Kinzua Fish & Wild Life Association) I opened it before and saved it as one of my favorites anyway if you can contact them they have a wealth of information on the types of structures and their placements.

Short eyes are males which tend to hang around the reservation after females head to deepwater to chase schools of suspended spottail shiners.  Troll silver shad raps on shady side of reservoir early.  Best results with in line planer boards, segmented lead core or snap weights.  Will get some pike same way.  If you are getting short walleyese give up on program and move, they don't mix with the bigger ones.  Deep jigging on points in main lake in summer can also yield eyes but is tough to do with boat traffic.  Weekends are always going to be tough on Kinzua.
