The Beaver River is a small river that intersects the Ohio river at its northernmost point. It is roughly 3 miles from the mouth of ther river to the dam in New Brighton. The river has a healthy population of largemouth and smallmouth bass, white bass, sauger, walleye, and catfish. My favorite method of fishing the river is trolling along the length of the river following contours and drop-offs. I also like casting lures along the shoreline near the dam.
Lake Arthur is a man-made lake that is one hour north of Pittsburgh. The lake has a sizeable population of largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, walleye and panfish. My favorite method of fishing the lake is to cast lures along the shoreline or along the edges of big patches of lily pads. I usually fish the eastern portions of the lake near the waterfowl propagation area.
