Water Conditions Locally heavy thunderstorms on Thursday 6/9 have "muddied the waters."  Meadow Run and Dunbar are unfishable at this time.  The Yough, on the other hand, is at perfect level.  Water temp is 58 degrees.  Caddis are hatching and the fishing is incredible!!  The forecast...

Hailing from Monroeville, Rivertowne Pour House has developed to fill a niche in the Western Pennsylvania craft world.  Offering 14-18 different styles throughout the year, there is plenty of variety for all palates.  Offering that many beer choices, we are eager to find out what...

School is almost out, and it's time to celebrate summer break by planning a rafting trip with Wilderness Voyageurs!!   With temperatures in the 90's this week, going on a trip down the Lower Yough here in Ohiopyle is the best way to cool off.  Come...

Finally, summer can officially begin now that Friday night loop runs on the lower Youghiogheny River have begun. We had a terrific group of Wilderness Voyageurs staff and a few new participants to joined in on the fun. What a terrific way to start off the holiday weekend....

May 29, 2011 Green Drakes, Green Drakes and some more of those bad boys.  We are expecting the hatch to last for another 7 to 10 days. Do not allow them to steal the show entirely, there are also March Browns and a very healthy Sulphur hatch...

Yesterday, while on an evening "loop" (youghiogheny river) run on the with a few friends we shared an interesting insight into kayaking.  The water level is up a little, which allows for creativity in boat choice. My friend was trying out a longer glass boat of yesteryear, others chose...

After disappointingly small spinach bowl at Bob Evan's in Lavale, Maryland my friend Don Powers and I drove the Hatchback Miatta into the Rocky Gap State Park. We registered our duo-team, "XXC Mag Presents the Crusty Seamen" (it's only funny because we're not sailors,) and set up camp. I was too...
