Smallmouth Bass
If you're chasing Smallmouth Bass in southwestern Pennsylvania, Beallsville offers access to some fantastic river fishing on the Monongahela River. What makes this area special is the river's diverse structure, with rocky bottoms, submerged timber, and current breaks that smallies love. Spring and fall are prime times. In spring, target pre-spawn bass in the shallows as the water warms. In fall, focus on deeper pools and eddies as they fatten up for winter. A local tip: Access the river via the public boat launch at the Beallsville Borough Park. Be aware that the Monongahela can experience fluctuating water levels depending on rainfall, so check conditions before heading out. The smallmouth here tend to be scrappy fighters, known for their acrobatic leaps, and you might even hook into a trophy-sized fish if you're lucky!
