Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with fishing the Conowingo Dam area of the Susquehana? I don't live too far from there and went to check it out yesterday without the boat and it looks promising. I was up at Glen Cove Marina. Thinking of heading up next weekend but don't know what to expect. I am hoping to get some nice smallies there.

I don't fish there, but I do fish below the dam about halfway to the bay. I DO fish the Flats a lot. I launch out of Anchor Marine in northeast, MD. You might want to consider heading out on the bay; that's where the real good fish live!

Conowingo has plenty of 1.5 - 2 Lb smallies with occasional 3- 4 pounders.  WIth your tin boat you can head up North into the rocks to search out current breaks for the bigger smallies.

Most Tournaments there are won with between 10 - 14 pounds , mixed bags smallies and largemouths.

From Glen Cove it's around 10 - 12 miles up North into the shallower rocky area near Muddy run, if you are looking for mostly smallmouth.

Nuke Plant discharge will also hold fish.

Come out and fish the CC Open on August 10th to get a feel for the Flats, that's where you'll have the best shot at decent fish.
