Tionesta Creek Help
This place is killin me!I fish along Jughandle Road. From Kelletville down to the lake. Other than in May from a canoe I cannot catch a fish in that section. It is a gorgeous stream. I know that they do not stock trout down that far but I target smallies and whatever else will bite a crawler, minnow, or spinner. I catch fish in the river, tailwaters, and lake but I cannot get a fish in that section AHHHHHH. It is a 5 minute drive from camp so I really would like to get to know it, but after 10 years I am thinking I either stink or there are no fish in that section. It looks like great habitat so I am leaning towards my fault.
1) Are there fish in that section? Good Numbers?
2) Techniques that have worked for you
3) General areas (rapids, slack water, pools etc)
I am drawn like a moth to a flame on that creek and am frustrated. I always stop at the section where there is old bridge supports and it looks great. Never a bite.
Thanks for letting me rant.
