View Full Version : Allegheny River current flow
they are opening the gates at kinzua the flow fight now at HPD is 23,000 cubic feet per second yesterday it was 11,000 cfs so the river is more than likely a lot faster and a little higher than yeaterday, the river may be trashed for the next week or two, JB sure hope pymy stays open and Russell have you ever fished there its a walleye factory if the rivers out you up for takin a trip we,ll stay at my camp, talk to ya later.

All I need is a days notice Tom, and I'm outa here. Specially if its ketchin fish. Buddy of mine in Indiana use to give me a call when the ice was on and he was ketchin 8-10in gills. I'd fire out of here like I was shot out of a cannon. Brought back 5 gal of gills on a two day outing. Guys thought I was nuts, till I told them 5 gal of filets.:-) Im ready anytime Tom, Im retarded, I mean retired.:7
I have seen your name several times posted at this site. I am assuming you are from the Pittsburgh Area. My question to you is as follows
"Are their any walleye clubs in the Pittsburgh Area.?"

Based on Tom's report on Saturday I didn't touch the rivers this weekend. Sunday 4 of us went up to 20 mile creek (last creek before entering NY State) Steelhead fishing. We fished from around 9:00am to 3:00pm. Had about 25 hook ups between us and landed about 15 of those. Was a beautiful day to be out in the woods / creeks, no other anglers. Russel I've seen several comments from you regarding trout fishing. These steelhead are awesome fish to catch. Average size 7 or 8 lbs. Many fish 10 lbs plus. They are very powerful fish that fight like #####. It can take 5 to 10 minutes per fish to land them. We use 6 lb main line and tie off 4 lb leader material, no. 14 or no. 16 hooks, very very very light tackle for such big fish. If river is shot for the next couple of weeks I might give Pymy a try. One of my fishing buddies has a cabin near Snod Grass boat launch. Tom and JB keep us posted about Pymy conditions. Chris
Rabbit, yes there are several which none are popping into my mind right now but as they do i,ll post them for you.

Rabbit, I know of the western pa anglers assoc. and the yough walleye club. If you find any others I would appreciate posting them!
Hey Chris, when we goin?:-) I never said I didnt like ketchin trout.:-) Always wanted to go after them Steelhead, but never went. Got a neighbor here thats been trying to get me to go for years. He goes up around Ashtabula. Sounds like you guys had a good day the other day. Sure beats the #### out of my last outing.:-) Cya
just thought i,d let you know that the river is dropping and the flow is slowing,}> keep your fingers crossed the HPD may not be out of the question after all}>

Tom & Walleye Chop:
Thanks for answering. I'll look into the clubs. My main thrust in fishing are eyes. I also like to keep a few now and then for the pallet.
