I talked to the WCO one day fishing at the outflow and he said some guys usually do well at night right at the dam, but I can remember the section between W.N and Sutersville where I use to fish when I was little I caught my first Walleye there it was 22"... All I can say is cast a worm out on the bottom and leave it sit, you never know what will take it and hey, you may be surprised to find a walleye on the other end or a body, tire or something else weird...

I fish little Boston all the time and can assure you there are Walleye in there. Muskie as well. Also some big cats. And drum. And bass. I'm going to regret posting this on a public board, but I feel I have cracked that spot. Get a minnow trap. Catch you a few minnows from the shore there, then drop one down in the middle of the river where it gets deep. Have fun. You'll get walleye and sauger like that. Crawlers there typically result in drum. Lures tend to get bass and the rare muskie. Cats are random but rare during the day. The night bite is better there for cats. And for walleye in fact.

Those river minnows were by far my top producer on the Yough when I fished there as a kid. They'd out fish fatheads 5:1. A lot more flash to them, guessing some sort of shiner? Probably why those Hus Lures work so well. They liked to hang out in the overhang grass along the shoreline, at least in the warmer months. A ton in the mouth of Cedar Creek too. Not sure where they hang out in the cold months.

It's a shame but it is very hard to find a Hus Lure in a store anymore. They always worked great for me.

Have you ever thought to make your own? The 1/8 oz is available online, but seems 1/4 oz isn't. Might be able to buy the smaller one or just look at photos, and make your own rather easily. I've made a bunch of "Clarkspoons", using aluminum angle iron, from Lowes. Cost under $5, and can make like 40 of them from an 8' piece. I tried to make some other shapes to do my own thing too. That or the old fashion, go to a thrift shop or Big Lots type store and buy some inexpensive silverware to chop down.
