Monroeville Area Trout Fishing

Good evening!  I just moved to Monroeville and I was wondering if anyone knows of some good trout fishing streams or lakes close by.  I know a lot about fishing in Greensburg and near Allison Park but I don’t know much about Monroeville.  Any input would be awesome!  So, How about them Steelers!!!

Turtle Creek is about the only option NEAR Monroeville...no other bodies of water that I know of.

Lasts about 2 months from trout opener...assuming it gets stocked this year after the gasoline spill couple of months ago.

welcome to monroeville - i've lived here for 58 years! turtle creek is stocked two or three days before opening day and then again once during the season usually a week or two after the opener. it can be quite crowded at the two bridges where they stock and the stream ain't the cleanest or the sceenery ain't the best but it is still trout fishing.
 
i wouldn't worry at all about that gas spill that occurred way up in murrysville - we didn't see or smell anything down where i live near valley park - which is well upstream of the saunder's station bridge - the first stocking point. the big worry is acid mine drainange coming from the export area. the commission check water quality before they stock and in the [ast have not stocked because of water quality.
 
personally, i jump onto the turnpike and within an hour you can fish a number of very clean and scenic mountain stream near laurel mountain.

Is BY - Boyce Park?  Would the pond be appropriate for a 3-year old.  If so, can you give basic directions from the Parkway?  thanks!

When I lived in Monroeville my favorite fishing hole was Keystone State Park lake. They stock trout pretty heavy in the spring and there are some holdovers.

interesting that big brother nukes photos that are posted on the board but the same photos are acceptable in the poster's moniker.

so "youngsters" can't see kingnuk32's moniker?

OK - i agree, size does matter!

SlipperySmitt,

What you say goes and it was off topic anyway but there wasn't really anything harmful to "youngsters'.  They were two hot fully clothed girls,  they had small skirts but I see worse at the mall just about every time I go.

Good point....yes thats what I mean I see better at the mall.

I second that snag 

they have stocked it in the past but i would check the stocking scedule to make sure they have  ,down by the train tracks on saunders  road good place not sure how far up in murysville they stock if the still stock turtle creek ,i believe they stock the by park in trafford too but could be wrong its just a pond

its right on RT 130 if you make the left at the sunoco across from haymaker shopping center follow that to the end and make a
right its a couple hundred yards on your right theres a sign says BY park lots of panfish its great place take kids used take mine there if those directoins dont work for you let me know ill try get more specific

if your takin kids there is that creek along sardis road the stock by the police/library. pretty sure thats just for kids

Haven't fished tc in years, but just never seemed to do good there, whether i wen't upstream or down, it didn't matter. Remember finding quite a few nice pools & runs-thinking that they definately had to hold some trout, threw everything but the kitchensink at em, tactics that always seem to work for me in other streams, but it just didn't matter. I either caught nothing but chubs or nothing at all. I tried BY park yrs ago when i was engaged to my ex (who's father lives in trafford) just for something to do & try it out, but never caught nothing more than panfish although i've heard that at one time (not sure about now) that they used to throw some trout in BY pond also, plus theres some decent sized carp in there as well.
