Kinzua tail waters ????????????

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

I've not fished the tailwater before but I use the US forest service campground up there in the national forest several times a year and have had nothing but good experiences.

Used to work at that dam and at the federal hatchery below it. Not sure what campgrounds are open this time of year. I doubt the forest campgrounds are open, but definitely check into them, especially the ones along the Kinzua arm of the reservoir. Also, you'll want to check on what the output of the dam is like. If she is wide open, it'll be tough to fish the river below the dam. I've fly fished it with success, especially downriver a ways. I mostly concentrated on deep riffles and did real well with rainbows, but that was many years ago. It used to be unofficially stocked with rainbows but I don't believe that happens any more. I do know there are some monster browns in that river. Tag into one of those and hold on for your life!

I fished it twice , no expert but- if water is not two high , wade over to island and fish down left side. Have different caddis patterns standard colors, Tan- Green maybe black for Grannon If the water is high fish somewhere else lots of good streams around their.

Give Bill Ingersol a call or email. He is now out of the guiding buisness, but he'll fill you in. He is a really nice guy. I was living about 1.5 hrs away from Kinzu this past summer and was contemplating fishing it a few times, but never got the chance.

Here is his contact info.
