The fish are always biting in Ohiopyle State Park. With the Youghiogheny River flowing right through the heart of the park, a good fishing spot is never far away. The river is stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission a few times a year. The main fish species you will encounter while fishing in the park are Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Small and Largemouth Bass, Walleye, and Muskellunge. Also in the park is Meadow Run, an excellent trout stream for anglers who prefer a smaller stream to fish in.
Outside of the park, about 8 miles away, is the Youghiogheny Lake. Fishing is very popular on the lake with species mentioned above, as well as Perch, Crappie and Pike being plentiful.

The Yough Plaza Motel is ideally located for a fisherman who wanted to sample many of the rivers and lakes our area has to offer. In addition to the Youghiogheny River and Lake, there is also Laurel Hill Creek and the Casselman River within 10 miles. Laurel Hill, Kooser and Highpoint Lake are within 20 miles.
Fishing in Ohiopyle State Park requires a Pennsylvania fishing License and is subject to the rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. For more information please visit the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's Website.
