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 sample are taken from the Mon, there is ways a nice collect of walleyes,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.
