Yough river?

I think SmallieKiller is from that area and fishes down there.  If you have a boat the West Newton section of the Yough is nice and it is stocked with trout like crazy by a local sportmans club.  West Newton is not far from Little Boston.
 
Then if you want to go a little further Smithton is a decent place to wade fish and to fish from shore in some spots.  All depends what you want to catch.
 
Both Smithton and West Newton are stocked with trout by local clubs.

I fish for everything.  Whatever I can fish for and catch is fine with me.  I know about  buying the pins to support the trout stockings.  I bought one years ago and will buy one again.

I'm not from anywhere near the Yough but a friend if mine is.  Unfortunately, she can't tell me much about the fishing but since I'm now down that way often I want to learn of some places that I can fish down there.  So any advice that I can get to get me steered in the right direction I would really appreciate.

Thanks

i would say the best part of the yough is layton, but i dont care at all for stocked trout

fish12, I did'nt mean to offend anyone about buying buttons. I just wanted to let you know who stocks the river and how to support them if you want.

Many fisherman wade the river just above stream of the West Newton bridge. Hus Lures  

Little35,
I wasn't offended at all!   I planned on buying a button again this year when I get out there . From what I understand those clubs have a good thing going on there.
The only place I have ever fished on the Yough was at the bridge in West Newton.  I seen some nice fish caught, trout, but I didn't get any.  I looked at the river in Little Boston a few times and that is what made me want to ask about it. Is West Newton far from Little Boston?  Is there a boat launch there in West Newton and is the river deep enough for a 16" deep V?

I fish the lower Yough quite often.. usually put in at 10th ward and go up. There are a few good spots along there. You definately need your boat to get to most of them. I've had some nice fish right below the railroad bridge before Boston. Trolling through this stretch has actually been pretty effective for me. We've caught a lot of bass on creek chubs. There are a lot of nice spots up stream from Boston too. Then again, there are great spots all up and down the river.

 
there are deffinatly good parts of the lower yough. i got my first walleye and smallie of the year out of 10th ward. i got my biggest smallie of last year from right in front of the pylon of the railroad bridge. hell i caught a friggin 14" brown trout last week where long run dumps in! BUT, and a big BUT the boston park area is probably the worst suited section of the whole river for anything to call home. being a shore/wade fisherman (poor) i have to say i would much rather take my chances at 10th ward or buena vista then boston. unless my goal is 8 inch sauger then boston is hands down the way to go!
 
btw.. what kinda boat are you in? i live like 10 minutes away and im down there all the time. if i see ya i'll shoot ya the boaters wave lol

I fished last night at Mckees Point Marina.
Water Temperature was 61 on the surface.
Caught 2 smallmouth, 2 spots, and a Rainbow.
First trout I've caught there.
It will get much better over the next 3 weeks.

I completely agree on Boston. It's a good producer for cats, and that is about it. I have caught a few other fish there over the years, but nothing notable, and few and far in between. As far as the lower stretch goes, I like to toss behind the pillers on any of the bridges on sunny days such as today. I'm heading up toward Turner Valley this weekend to tie into pike.
I have a gray closed bow 14' glasstron. Flag me down, there's always room for one more!
