The Yough supports healthy populations of trout, and small mouth bass. Bait and fishing supplies can be purchased locally, and PA fishing license information and sales are available at Falls Market in Ohiopyle. All fisherman must adhere to PA regulations.
"It’s
pronounced “YAWK-UH-GAIN-EE,” known as the “The Yawk,”
and its Pennsylvania stretch is a somewhat different river than its
origins in Maryland. Much of the difference is attributable to Youghiogheny
River Lake, from which the river emerges near the town of Confluence.
Cold water released from the dam keeps the middle stretch of the river
(the stretch running roughly between Confluence and Connellsville) fishable
most of the year, even in the hot summer. This section is heavily stocked
with fingerlings several times a year and the entire stretch is fair
to good trout water. Most of the Yough in Pennsylvania is moderate to
big water. The short stretch between Confluence and where the Casselman
River joins the Yough is very popular and usually wadeable. Beyond where
the Casselman enters the stream, the river becomes larger and much of
it is difficult wading, depending upon dam releases and seasonal stream
flows. Much of the middle stretch is probably much more suitable to
floating. Below Connellsville, until the river finally joins the Monongahela
River near McKeesport, the Yough becomes warmer and bigger and isn’t
really known for trout fishing. Smallmouth bass can be sought in this
stretch."
