Text Box: Text Box: Allegheny River Drift Fishing

Northcountry Outfitters offers fly and spin drift fishing for trophy brown and rainbow trout on the Trophy Trout Section of the Allegheny River.   Fish the river and view wildlife from the comfort and safety of an 18’ McKenzie style drift boat. 

Spin fishermen can enjoy casting stickbaits, plugs and spinners as well as drifting live shiners with custom St. Croix rods and Shimano reels.  Also, when conditions are right the west coast technique of backtrolling kwikfish is a producer.

Fly fishing is productive year round as long as the river levels are conducive.  Swinging and dead drifting large streamers and stimulator patterns near the bottom produces strong takes from these large stream bred fish.

      Summer and Winter offer different opportunities and unique adventures on the river.  Generally, the fishing for  chunky rainbows is more productive in the summer, along with a mixed bag of smallmouth bass and the occasional walleye. 

      Winter offers excellent opportunitiesfor large browns. One of the most productive times on the river for large brown trout is directly after the spawn in December through the Winter months until the days become long and the water warms in early June and many of the large browns become nocturnal.  If you’re feeling the winter blues come check out the Allegheny River in the Winter. It is a big fish factory.
