A Day In The Life Of Spillway Fishing 

Thanks , I’ll never understand why they stock trout where there are pike and musky lol

Is still trout in it. Browns for sure I released 8 in October I didn't use for bait that were all 14-16" and very much alive . Trout are like candy to flatheads

Nice to know there’s some in there

It sure was , second video of that day to come !

Thanks !

It was

Sure was

That day was a really good day of fishing . After I fished the spillway I went down river and caught over 50 smallmouth the rest of the day and hooked into my first musky that jumped and broke me off .

@@412Angler see i want to get into some muskies and pike

Spring I’m going after them

Thanks

Thanks 😏

Ya it was bad when I first started with that bomber long a so I quit using it , that was early in the morning . The rest of the day I walked down by the bridge in the water and caught about 50 smallmouth, they were all small but still caught fish . Never heard of trout being caught in the river , I hooked into my first musky there that day too and got broke off . Went up New Year’s Day for the second time and was the only one there all day and got my first pike . I’m ready to go back up again asap

Crazy to think that’s waterway has that many fish and fish of that size in it . It’s not crazy big like the Ohio river or anything

It is insane for the size of the river. I can cast across the river in 95% of it but it's loaded. Especially with flatheads my 8 year old son caught 6 30+ pound flatheads this past summer right there In sharpsville and another 5 out at big bend end of river. Biggest I got last year was 45.5"x28.5". Last year"22" we got 3 fish over 48" easy 50+lbs . I've said for the last 5 years a state record flathead is gonna be caught in shenango river. We release all flathead even in the lake and big bend end where they are safe to eat. May-end of June it's best big bend end of river july- November weather permitting outflow end is better for flatheads

@@pyrodave6407 crazy , it’s a bit of a drive so I don’t get there too much , but definitely a great place .

Don’t know , that was my first time there

I’m considering going up maybe tomorrow or Friday, not sure yet.

@@412Angler they have all 7 gates open to I believe 2’ last I checked. Was going to go this past Sunday morning but too high

I’ll have to check , might go up might take the kayak somewhere closer not 100% sure yet . I usually never know until the last minute where I’m for sure going lol smh
