yea thoes locals down there usuly keep stuff pretty secret on the river

GOOD LUCK
Fish the bays in PA or the railroad bed on reservation north of willow bay.

NOT SAYIN NUTIN ELSE

I grew up fishing Kinzua. There are a lot of skunks that inhabit the area and like to torment out of towners who fish there.

Its NOT that there are lots of "secrets", its just that there are more people asking for secrets these days that secrets have more of a tendancy to arise.

One just one don't ask for more lol
If fishing the lake look at shore if you see big rocks and bolders fish there,, right there,,lol

uhhh...never mind...

Don't know why all of you on here think we are tight lipped about river. Any place you see a pull off along rt 59 or Hemlock is good place. Crawlers, salted minnows, crayfish. Use a noodle rod cast the bait as far as you can and let it bounce along the bottom, you'll catch fish. I use six lb flourocarbon line.

Gee....I post pics on Gary's site all the time with my fly rod....I get nothing but compliments.

I thought about it and I'll tell you about some secrets that I know. First your bait would be maggots. What you do is find the smallest hook possible (14 or 16) with a 6 foot piece of a 2 lb test tied to a very ultra light rod and fish the edges of the river for bait. You will catch all kinds of small minnows and unknown small fish. Do this for hours. Take the bait you got and fish it as normal bait with weight and hook or jigs. There are a lot of ways to catch fish in the river.
My favorite way is in a boat with the boat pointed upstream with trolling motor running on low to slow drift rate. Using a 6 inch rapala gold or copper lure casting into shore and ripping it towards the boat. The trick is you have to bend the eye of the lure slightly and/or some of the trouble hooks. What you want it to do is a big wheel or a big circle so from the surface of the water to the bottom. Hold on to your rod when they hit it and they will. It will almost be riped out of your hands.

Good luck
