The Shenango River
I could write a book on all the great times I've had on this river.
1. @Troutguy - that picture you posted is a RR bridge under construction. I portaged over over it several times this summer. Nice holes and flows in there ;)
Its temporary.
2. Shenango River Watchers-
look them up. They are doing some great things on the river. A membership is only 10$ a year. BUY ONE!!
3. Shenango River Watchers-
seriously, go to their site right now.
The Shenango is truly a gem of the Northwest. Despite a heavy industry presence years ago, it has recovered nicely. There are some species of minnow "brook silversides" that reside in the RIver. (see Andy Turner FB page, he;s a limnologist/ichthyologist from Clarion university and my old advisor)
I've floated from sharpsville to sharon.
From Greenville park to Kidds Mill bridge.
Hamburg road bridge to the lake.
My opinion. The upper shenango is more remote and has the best summer fishing.
Below the dam, down to sharon is good most any time of the year and the dam provides stable flows for canoeing.
I'd like to think i have that river just abt figured out...
I also have some good shenango pics and a photobucket acct,
i may try to post some
