paangler3117 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 mostly from saxton to riddlesburg. I am going try making it out towards hopewell, and everett a little more this year! jim Quote
smallieking Posted February 28, 2008 Author Posted February 28, 2008 i thats where i fish in between everett and hopewell  around tatesville to be precise   but i fish up in bedford alot too Quote
fishnaddiction Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 lol  yea smallie fishes everywhere on that river  i like to go around cyprus  which is below tatesville but above hopewell   Quote
smallieking Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 yea i fish around the junita trading post alot too  my favorite spot is definety down at tatesville though Quote
paangler3117 Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 hey addict, do you mean cypher? i have heard it call cypher beach too. i never heard of cyprus i was just wondering! does anyone fish below raystown dam in huntingdon? i have been hitting the spillway off and on for eyes, still too cold for smallies! (at least for me!) jim Quote
fishnaddiction Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 yea thats it my mistake  i thought it was cyprus  aaa yea my great uncle and grandfather used to have a camp lot just a few holes above cypher beach  there is a really big hole with some ledges rock and even bank grass then just above it is a long series of rapids with deep ledges creating small pools   thats were i go alot  then im not sure if u would know or not but when u cross tatesville bridge and get on bowser farm road the first parking lot  i fish there alot too  Quote
smallieking Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 hmmm where is that at excalty  i remember some water right above cypher but nothing like what ur describing   Quote
fishnaddiction Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 ok its not right at the top end of cyphus or whatever  its a few holes up  the big hole has a broken dam on it  there is a few holes in it but it holds up alot of water  well there is a big rock on the far side (away from the camps) on the grass bank side also  i actually sit on the rock and cast the bait into teh hole  there is a channel running through it  its only about 4 or 5 feet wide but very trench like  it drops off close to 10 feet  well alot of bass sit on the edge there  well then the river bends and there is some flat water with alot of grass on the bottom  i will cast to the banks  but looking for bright spots in the grass  the bright spots are rock piles and the bass really set up on them  well then  up closer to the top end there are a few wing dams on the camp side that people made to create small swimming holes  i like fishing the under side of them  for bass which set up for ambushing  then there is a large riffle with a big rock pile and eddy in the middle with some bank grass  i will fish the pools there with a tube or worm then head up  on the camp side even though there are no camps there  there is a series of ledges that creat rapids with pools  i like senkos and tubes  then there is a deep hole at the top end with some scatter boulders  the fishing there is pretty good  not much pressure  its behind the bowser farm  i never fished any father up then that but im sure the father u get away from the road the better the fishing  Quote
smallieking Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 oo ok  yea i dont think i fished that far up  i had to of been close  hey i was wondering what baits u use for those weedy flats  i know of a bunch of grass flats like that on the river but i really dont do very good around them  also what bait do u use for the channel u were describing  sounds like a good DS bite  lol  Quote
