    I’m shocked that there are still fish to catch. I watched what had to be well over 100 smallmouth leave on 3 stringers one day about around 15 years ago. I figure that six boat crew has harvested...

    This group that you mention is a huge reason why my trips to that section of river have drastically decreased. You can still find fish but watching huge stringers of fish leave is more than I could...

    Interesting article. I also think the opposite happens pretty often. The biggest musky I’ve ever seen from my boat was a springtime 50+ female that hit a 3 inch fur jig that was never landed but...

    That would be fun the watch in real time! I’ve seen crazy drops and fish and the like get stranded everywhere. No rain on the lower river. Must be a gate issue. That would be pretty rough to run...

    That's good to hear that young of the year populations are solid. Bass harvest is an issue. I'm not on the river enough to be definitive but in my most recent 10 trips over the past 5 years, I've...

    I’d concur that the drought conditions and warmer weather greatly impacted things. However, walleye fishing is very different so far this year even on the lower Allegheny. Fish aren’t just in...

    It has been years since the last time the river dropped that low. I seem to recall a fall during the early nineties where it was running at 700 cfs for some time. I watched a jet operator attempt to...

    Bass stocking seems odd. Does fish and boat suspect declining population?

    Interesting about the algae. The area south of the Conewingo used to have an annual June bloom. The stuff would just cover the bottom for a few weeks and then wash out. It was a pain. I haven't...

    Looks like trout fishing is improving. It's always been cyclical. Last summer's excessive rain helped keep river temps lower so that may have helped. Also, could this be an effect of the altered...

    These would be fun! I made my own rod for throwing medium stuff and it sure saves the shoulder. Almost “ultra light” musky gear.

    That’s nuts. Caught a few turtles and hellbenders over the years but never a duck.

    Things got better in the afternoon. Found some smallmouth and a 30 inch musky. Wind was only moderately...
