Allegheny River

Has anyone been out on the Allegheny for eyes lately, I am thinking about heading out tomorrow from shore to try for some.  Was going to take the boat but dont really feel like uncovering it for a one day trip lol

i decided to fish from shore,  I just didnt feel like going through the time to unwinterize the boat yet.  I think i will have trouble launching the boat due to size at most of the launches right now,   I did a tree job for a guy and he paid me with a smaller boat as soon as the paper work gets here i will be using that as my river boat

Thanks i just sent you a pm slayer sry about not seeing your post in the other thread

There's a nice boat launch in sharpsburg and the guys are catching them right up the river from there. I fished in chestwaders from shore there today and there was 4 boats out there. I would've given anything to be on one. I heard they're catching them jigging in 20 to 25' of water. Good luck tomorrow I spent 4hrs there today. I sent u a message in ur other thread about joining me and my buddy today.

 
I could be wrong, and I am sure someone will correct me if I am lol . . . But I think it is highly unlikely that there are spots upriver from the Sharpsburg launch that has water over 20 feet deep.  The dam is about a mile upriver, and the water at the safety buoys is not deep at all.  While I do most of my fishing from shore as well, I have been through that entire area in a boat several times and rarely saw the depthfinder show water deeper than 10-12 feet.   

Thanks, that is surprising. I didn't see those depths. 

Never fished the river for Walleye before but I may get my boat out and give it a try near Sharpsburgh or one of the Lochs in the next week or so.
I got just a bare bones 16' alum with a 15HP outbord, so not as big a deal for me to get it ready for the water as yours might be eyeassassin.
Any tips any of you care to share with a total novice for river eyes? I figured on jig heads with shiners, twister tails, and maybe crankbaits.  
Also may try just fishing from shore before committing to putting the boat in, if so I thought Lochs 3 & 4, any other suggestions?
Thanks guys!
Tight lines & God bless!

Thanks FishinGuy!
 

I think next week i am going to take the boat out and see if i can boat some eyes.  I know the river is going to come up from the rain but it should be back down by next week and the temps are supposed to warm up a little

Hey eyeassassin I caught wind of someone catching a 13 1/2 lber last weekend where we like to go! Personally I hope it was u and wish it would've been me! Throwing tubes.

For those of you that fish the creek mouths that are approved trout waters in March - like Buffalo, Bull, Pine or Deer Creek - just wondering how anal the WCO's get about how close you fish to the creek mouth. 
 
Had a little time yesterday to make a few casts in Tarentum and was about to start casting into Bull Creek when I realized I probably shouldn't.  Just wondering. 

Fished the mouth of pine last night on the allegheny. No walleye, but the carp are thick down there right now!  The river wasnt high, but the current seemed nasty...the green bouy in front of the mouth was completely under water at times.

the picture I saw in the paper the other day said a young girl maybe 12 or 13 caught it , nice looking fish

Thats one hell of a fish! That picture was taken a ways away from pine creek and its mouth though... Thats at the sharpsburg boat/kayak launch area about a mile up river.  Glad to see someone so young catch it, he will be hooked for life now!

What paper was it in? I did hear it was a kid. I wouldn't mind checking out the picture

So would u guys eat the walleye out of these rivers? If so what sections do u think are the safest?
