Does any one fish the cuyahoga river.I was wonder what people fish for and what they use and what time of year they fish it.I fished it one time last year and we were killing the bass on buzzbaits.
when do you do your best fishing. like what time of year
last year i went and it it seemed different after they tore the dam down, maybe its just me but the spots i used to go just wouldnt hold any fish anymorethere used to be a place called the tackleshack, right on the border of cuyahoga falls and stow.
they ran tourneys and rented boats and motors.
I used to get bait there, and put my 14 ft alum in at a place called water works park nearby there. I'd run against the current about a mile, and float back down... casting to the bank, deadfalls, pools, and the like.
if you fish with little spinners, like blue fox and panther martins, and small bucktails, you'll get the northerns.
smallies and largemouths on blade over jig combos, like the beetle spin, and similar combos (1/32 or 1/16 jigs with twister tails under a blade work well.)
Tackle Shack moved down the street and goes by falls outdoor sports. well...not actually positive it's the same place. waterworks is still there. Entrance is on munroe falls avenue. Can still rents boats anyway. Not sure if you can still access the river behind where the tackle shack used to be. The closest access to that i know is front street park and you can't get to that area from there.yeah, it's a been a few years since I was there...the store, the water works park etc may not even be there anymore...
just throwing out possible leads...
I will say this though....when I did fish there....white panther martin and mepps spinners were awesome on the pike.
You had to use a steel leader, or cut off and re tie every few fish though, the bottoms, along with the pike made for a lot of frayed lines.......
