Probably would not hurt. When you fish below the dams what parts do you target? Wing walls, locks, or right up to the spillway. What lures do you use? We go to the Allegheny River by Freeport but have not figured them out yet. We normally go there in Jan., Feb, or early Mar., weather permitting of course. Last winter sucked. Couldn’t get out much at all.

I live in Tarentum and I fish around Freeport!!

I think it is pool 4. We fish below the dam. We put in at a small inlet stream near a bridge. I live South of Pittsburgh near McMurray (Peters Township) so I don’t know the names of streets etc. in that area.

Do you have a boat or fish from shore? What fish do you target?

Been fishing the Allegheny up this way for a while now. Seems that they catch more and bigger musky just below lock #3 That’s where lock3 bait and tackle shop is. I mostly fish for bass and musky but sometimes I go in the evening for the huge cats
Been fishing from shore until my kayak comes in.

Hook a musky and it may give you a good ride in a kayak. I think you are describing the pool we fish. I have seen guys trolling for musky when we were up there. We are looking for walleyes without much success yet.

Hook a musky on a kayak and it may give you a good ride. I think below lock 3 is where we have been fishing. We have been to that bait shop. We are targeting walleye without much success.

Sorry Bernie01. Didn’t think the first comments went thru.

Drift with a bottom bouncer with a night crawler as bait, or use a gig,both are good pick ups
