This has been the deadest Yough thread I think I've ever witnessed.  Nobody fishing that river ?   Anybody ?  Trout were still on the past weekend in the Wickhaven area.  1 Bass.  My guess is that the Bass will be on now woth the 90 degree weather upcoming.

Anyone seeing any drum moving around? I want to get after them soon.

Caught 13 on the 19th and 7 on the 21st..all smallies and one white bass..haven't been back since. All on a white ice super fluke jr. I'll be down over the next few days...I'll let you guys know how it goes!

I've fished the Yough in the Whitsett to W. Newton areas dating back well into the 70's.  I've never caught a Drum you guys speak of.  I know what a Drum is (Sheephead).  Caught a couple in the Mon.  Are these  fairly new to the Yough ?  I fish mostly springtime waters, so maybe they are a warm water species ?  Since y'all seem to target them, are they sought after as table fare, or just for the fight ?

I've been chasing them in the yough for about 8 years now. The first one I remember seeing was back in the 80's. Some guy caught it at the river park in C'ville.
I don't know when they start hitting exactly, I just start after them when the carp bite slows during the spawn. I've heard of people eating them. I don't. I'm not a fan of fish in general, just fishing.

Anyone hitting walleye at all? Never fished for them down here but me and a buddy where going to try drifting some crawlers through some deeper pools for them this week.

Yep, walleye.

 
And trout too.

 

D-Nymph nice anti pebble mine jug.  Also to the person who said about eating drum I never have but some crazy old lad told me boil it in salt water and it tastes like lobster...  Who knows maybe it does...  They kinda fit in my category of carp...  Nail it to a nice piece of pine, cedar, or oak and then put it in the oven on about 425* for about 25min then remove un nail the fish and toss it then plate and eat the board...
 
Haven't fished the Yough in about 10+ years.  Use to always fish in Suttersville down from the Swickley Crick...  Aside from the few trips to the dam and a few little perch, smallies and a pig bullhead.  I haven't had luck.  A buddy of mine does well for smallies when he's not going for musky.
