Anyone been fishing the Shenango below the dam?

which dam... ino below jamestown it is really low havent been to sharpsville in a while

Last time I fished the river in Jamestown was in the middle of May.  Got one eye, 2 smallmouths, and a crappie.  It's real easy to catch a million small gills, crappie, and perch there but I was after the big guys.
 
I fished the river in Sharpsville by the bridge last weekend and caught a bunch of bass as usual, a few small crappie, and lost a trout at my feet. 
 
Last time I was below the dam in Sharpsville I only got one white bass, a carp, and 3 hybrids.  Nothin big though.   

In Shaprsville.

Low and slow...................

Yea it's a Quillback..................

Don't know the guy but he caught one nice Pike a few weeks ago.
 
 
 The Nite Bite ! 
 
 


 

Fished the river yesterday afternoon by the bridge fly fishing.  Did real good with smallmouth bass and 1 crappie. 
 
Fished it today and they raised the water a bit.  The bass shut down, only had 2 on but they were nice around 16in. or so.  Caught one nice trout by the bridge.  Also right below the dam caught 4 nice hybrids and 1 white bass. Those hybrids are a blast!  The past 3 times I was there I caught a few, and they are awesome fighters! Back farther downstream I ended up getting 2 carp(one on the fly!) and 2 catfish. 
 
Pics coming once I get them on my computer......

 

 

floated from the dam to the steel mills on saturday 6-2
boated half a dozen average smallies. all on crankbaits
 
didnt get a chance to fish for eyes this spring
anybody notice a decline in walleye numbers this spring?

CU, did you put in by the bridge w/ canoes Sat. afternoon?  If so I'm pretty sure I saw you. 
 
The smallie fishing was MUCH bettter Saturday then it was Sunday.  They completely shut down.  I fished below the dam a handful of times this year with only 1 eye to show, but did pretty well with trout, white bass, and hybrids below the dam and a bunch of smallies and such downstream.

yeah, just one canoe, two guys aroun 430pm
i caught abt 50 or more keeper sized eyes last spring and not a one this spring
i also fished about 20 more times last spring
 
just wondering if the warm winter led to decreased gizzard shad mortality and a high abundance this year.
all those eyes could be full of shad and not very hungry
