yough res

does anyone know of a gd place to fish from shore on th yough resevior?i am tryin to target multi species.ty

shiners do well for bass bike and bigger crappie there

i just use a big snagging hook when i go for bike. the yough is a great place to catch a few bikes. last summer, i caught a plastic table. that thing fought like a champ. lol

not tryin to bash ya man, just poking a little fun. besides, who hasn't caught a bike out of the yough. that river is a scrappers paradise.

I've seen many shore anglers at Jockey Hollow...it's right off rt 40.

The cove with all of the trees is nearly impossible to fish in right now with the water being so high unless you have a boat. Don't try wading, you will be up to your chin in mud before you can scream for help. If you are heading east on Route 40, coming down the large hill just before Jockey Hollow, you will see "Dark Hollow Road". Make the left and continue until you come to a creek on your right. There is a pull off, park there, and follow the trail down towards the lake. You can't get to the lake, but where the creek widens out provides some great smallmouth action. Shiners seem to work best there. I haven't been there in years, so I'm not sure if you can chop your way through the weeds to the lake or not. Also, cross the bridge on route 40, and you will come to a boat launch on your left. Make the left, then another quick left and drop down into the parking area. There is a couple of hundred yards of shoreline to fish there. Decent for smallmouth, and walleye at dusk in the spring. I've heard about some nice catfish being caught out of the lake, but really haven't spent much time fishing for them. Might be worth a try.

Good Luck
