With a run of wet weather this spring we've had tough conditions on the Allegheny Tailwater, below the Kinzua Dam. This past week has brought ideal conditions for drifting and wading the river. The upcoming forecast is for nice flows and if the weather stays dry it will continue to get better. As far as hatches a few sulphurs, certain eddies have brown drakes and the Allegheny river caddis are thick. During cloudy days I've been seeing some BWO's with a few fish turning onto them. The pictures above are of a couple of rainbows I caught while wade fishing this afternoon. This past week, while drifting, I picked up fish throughout the entire river system between Warren and the Dam in all of the usual spots. One of the picks above is a rainbow that was stocked as a fingerling last summer. There are many of these guys around that are fun to catch, especially in the Alleghenies swift flows. Hope to see you below the dam. Best Fishes.
