Who Has Actually Been Fishing

What in the world is going on...

Is anybody, anywhere, doing any fishing in SW PA?

If so, talk about it. I'll start.


Fished Indiana County Sunday, got skunked, friend caught 2.

Hit Loyalhanna on Sunday for 5 hrs, big ole' skunk but great to get out. Trying to get out again this weekend.

I'm fishing at twin on the lower right now and i've only gotten 1 trout about 10 inches or so, everyone around me is hooking trout like crazy.. one guy came down with his wife and son and caught 5 in a half hour right next to me

Fished the Connemaugh backwater/Bow ridge area Friday, cold, windy and high water but found several pockets of small perch (all returned), my buddy caught a small channel.  Sunday one trout from KSP on a Joe's fly.  I've recently bought a Hummingbird Fishin' Buddy and wanted to goof around with it on the canoe.  The sidescan was useful for finding the perch.  It indicated several fish near the dam at KSP.  I was at Duck Hollow about a week ago and saw the new canoe/kayak launch, looks pretty nice.  

I've caught a few carp and channel cats on the nice days.

Walked around Deer Lakes park this morning, saw a couple frogs and the ubiquitous Canada geese. 

Twin Lakes can be so hit or miss for trout...I don't get it sometimes.

Upper Conemaugh has produced some perch for me in the past years, I wonder what is going on with that boat launch out past Clarksburg? Last time I saw it it was Gated off and under water.


Have the delayed harvest's been fishing any good? Haven't been out to Loyalhanna or any further south for awhile.

Private lake yesterday, just got back from local lake & headin' back out in a couple hrs.

Try powerbait, no joke.

The most success I've ever had at Twin Lakes was at the lower lake on Powerbait. It was on these stupid things that I had in my box.

Honestly, I don't know why people down powerbait. It is just as killer for steelhead sometimes, too.

I don't put it down, I just don't use it because I figure a lot of others are, thus the fish are seeing it quite often.

Loomis, I fished a long day Sunday in Somerset Co. Also skunked, though I was up top the whole time, and missed two (on consecutive casts, no less ).

I'll be out probably every evening through Friday now, then Saturday, the closest I'll come to fishing will be crossing the Mon between Market Square and the Southide.

Too bad PA has us on trout season lockdown...this week would be a perfect time for me to check out a few possible carp spots I marked on my Google Earth...

Are carp feeding on top yet?

fished neshannock creek sunday, started off slow but picked up throughout the day between four of us we landed around 30 trout and all nice size fish!

If thi weather keeps up, the creeks will be hot enough opening day to boil everyones trawt

wait, we're allowed to fish before april 14?

Fished Pikes Run delayed harvest Saturday, got about 11 or 12 fishin from noon till almost dark, worked over all my favorite holes with spinners then switched to the fly rod an got 4 fishin a deeper hole, there were a good bit of other people out too an everyone was catching fish, catch them while you can while their still dumb.

That's one of the main things they use down south in the big tailwater fisheries. Don't knock it. That's where several world record trout come from.
