Well I got done there a little later than I wanted too. I fished from 1130 to 3. I had an awesome time. My first fish was a wiper real good size. And I got him on my ugly stik ultralight with 6 pound line. I got 8 walleyes 4 catfish and some crappie. It was one of my better days this year. I will def be back down soon. And if I could figure out how to post pics from my iPhone I'd put some up

Minnes? Im assumein where the eyes and good size?

And none were over 14. They were all between 12 and 14

There was 3 others there today. They left half hour after I got there and the had the place all to myself all afternoon

There was that many there tonight??

You guys are posting EXACT spots and you dont expect a lot of company? There's a lot of lurkers that are enjoying your posts too. " You post it, they will come "  Just a heads up in case you didn't realize it. Nothing wrong with it but dont be surprized when you see them there.

Yoh are absolutely right tho chauncy ,im just trying to help people out,I wish you couldn't view the posts unless your a member,I hate moochers,and nomatter Wats said on here there is always gona be a unbelievable amount of fishing preasser down there ,reason no 2 I quit fishing there , I mean look Wat happened to pyme this year every freaking paper said " its gona be the best walleye fishing in 10 Years " ya thanks fishing ant that good and now everyone and there brothers cousins brother is up there dunking worms ,so yea chauncy your right

me an 2 friends went up from 830 to 315 and slow was the best way to describe it ... not used to seeing that many people though ... i wish i knew the what not of wading up there ... i have ultra confidence on catching more fish but hate standing in a crowd on such a big river

Can somone please clarify spot burning? I mean yea saying I fished the second rock ect is spot burning, but its public so its all our spots really I mean actually this site is all spot burning if we say Wat lake what fishing im not trying to be a smart azz but I would like your opinion

Shenango always has had a lot of people fishing since the dam was first built.   Heck the river was cowded around that section of the river before the dam was put in.  So a few people around isn't anything new.  If you guys think it's crowded now you should have seen it back in the 60's and 70's.   It was shoulder to shoulder every day all year long.  When the river was fished hard for eyes it wasn't anything to go through 3-5 dozen crawlers a morning. And sometimes you had to wait for a spot to open so you could fish.  And trout fishing was worse, especially when there was in season stocking.

Thunderpole, send me a pm if your interested about brookies. I don't mind helping out with those via pm.

Why the hostility? Its people helping other people out.

Unless I misunderstood your post...

I guess I don't care as much because I don't fish spillways...too many fishmongers and locals who think they own the place.
 
I do get why td is so sensitive.  I don't like it when someone gets too enthusiastic about one of my flows and gives it a bunch of publicity.  There are ways to be helpful without giving away specifics.  You can just say "Shenango" and go from there.  That gives people about 100 miles of river and lake to consider.  Or you can use the phrase, "local flow."  Tell people what the flow rate, clarity, terrain was like and what tactics you use.  That is actually more helpful in the long run than giving specific location.  Keep well known landmarks out of the pictures.  Share specifics via private messages with people who you see are trustworthy based on their historic posting record.
 
Spillways are going to get a lot of pressure no matter what.  Like I and others have said.  That place has been packed since way before there was an internet.  You should have seen it when the population in the valley was twice what it is now. 

And that's exactly what I did. Went and fished it....with the help of a few guys pointing me in the right direction.

If you noticed there was a lot of talk abou shenango befOre this. Also I didn't ask for spots. I asked what I could expect and general tackle.

But you're right and all knowing and no one has ever helped you or "spot burned" to get you prepared for a place you've never been too....so for that I bow down to you and your obvious infinate fishing wisdom.
