Fishing Overview for Emsworth Lock and Dam

On the Ohio River just downstream of the city, Emsworth’s tailwaters are famed for hybrid striped bass, walleye, sauger, and catfish. Current breaks, eddies, and wall eddies produce in spring and fall for jigging and blade baits, while summer nights bring strong catfish bites on cut bait; shore anglers and boaters alike work the turbulent seams similar to tactics used at Highland Park Dam.

7 Day Fishing Weather

Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.
