Conditions : MONONGAHELA RIVER – River flow is a little higher than average for this time of year, but fish can still be caught in the shallow water right along the shoreline, and in the mouths of tributaries. Sauger will move into the calmer water just below the Morgantown Lock on the Westover side of the river. Use a 3-inch chartreuse grub on a ¼ - ounce jig. The heated water discharge from the power plant on Beechurst Avenue will also attract fish all winter.

MONONGAHELA RIVER
Whereas the Ohio tends to provide numbers of smaller walleyes, it is the polar opposite on the Monongahela River, where biologists regularly turn up good-sized (but fewer) walleyes.

"When we sample the Mon, we always collect a few nice walleyes," Jim Hederick noted. "Below the dam in Morgantown we find walleyes up to 8 pounds. We usually find a few in the 6-pound range as well."

Sauger and walleye populations, like the Ohio River, are at the mercy of nature, which has not been exceptionally kind in recent years. Still, enough fish should be present in tailrace and creek mouth areas to warrant attention from anglers.

Monongahela River boat access areas can be found in Morgantown, Star City and Uffington.


Misc Info: - (2016) A new walleye regulation took effect beginning January 1, 2016 for Monongahela River. It consists of a 15-inch minimum length limit and eight walleye per day creel limit.
