I fished the tygart dam today for walleye with no luck what so ever. Has anyone been their recently with any success or could give me some pointers on how to produce out of that area.

I have a friend that does well from a boat. However, I believe their is a minimum flow that he looks for. I remember him saying below that certain flow is a waste of time.

What size boat can the tail waters handle? I have a 16' pan fisher type with a 50hp jet. It's great for the Potomac but never had it any place else. What about using it in the Greenbriar in the Marlinton area?

i was from the shore and the water was very up after the big rain we had, im thinking if i had a boat it would have been much better. There are articles on how good the walleye fishing is there when the water is up. http://www.wvgameandfish.com/fishing/walleyes-fishing/wv_aa015803a/

I've fished below the dam out of my dad's bass tracker 17 foot with a 50 hp and also out of a driftboat and a canoe. A johnboat with a small gas motor or a trolling motor would be good.

Biggest smallmouth of my life came out of there in low low water in the summer. I've caught 'eyes on jerkbaits and white twister tail grubs on jigheads from the bank during higher water. As was said, a good eddy forms on the park side of the bank where fish stack up. Walk up along the chain link fence almost as far as you can go. It looks like there's nowhere to go, but there's like a brick something or other down next to the river. There's a path down towards the water right as soon as you get past that, and the eddy should be pretty obvious from there.
