Youghiogheny River - Middle
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
|
This section of the Youghiogheny [yaw-ki-gay-nee] River
can run 200-foot-wide and starts from a dam at Confluence,
PA to ends at Ohiopyle. It provides excellent trout
fishing through the year, including the scorching heat
of the summer. This condition is made possible by a
dam that has a bottom release that keeps the water cool
and friendly to trout. There can be a triple digit heat
wave, and the water will remain in the 50s and low 60s.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission stocks fingerling trout, and an all-tackle trophy trout program exists on a 3.5-mile section of the river from just below Confluence downstream to Ohiopyle. Large, wild trout can be found in these ideal waters.
The river is big and the water moves fast. Wading requires good shoes and a trusty staff.
FISHING CONDITIONS:
• Water Levels - Yough water levels below Confluence
• Fishing Reports - Fishing Report (limited to hatch charts)
• Species - Trout and smallmouth bass
