Fishing Information on the
Tuscarawas River
Brett worked at NTR Canoe Livery for 5 years.
When he wasn't working, he was fishing,
and he never came back empty-handed!
He usually caught 30 or more fish at a time.
Brett liked to fish the 5 mile stretch of the
Tuscarawas river north of Bolivar and also the
pond at the Canoe Livery.
Species of Fish:
Smallmouth Bass (large numbers)
Largemouth Bass (small numbers)
Northern Pike (plentiful)
Rock Bass (big)
Crappie (plentiful)
Bluegill (lots!)
Catfish & Carp (large & plentiful)
Recommended Lures:
Carolina Rig Style Worm (6" plastic works best)
Rebel Small Craw w/Orange Underbody
Jig & Plastic Grub (white)
On The River:
Largemouth hold up in log jams waiting for smaller
fish and crayfish. Under bridges are good for
Smallmouth Bass because of good water depth and coolness.
Rock piles along the bank are great during spawn and
summer times for Smallmouth. When the water is low and
clear, cast into the heavy riffles w/jig. Bounce your lure
off the bottom while keeping tension on the line to
detect any hits. Watch out for Northern Pike, they will do a
number on your lure. Banks of the river are prime
areas during the fall. Smallmouth Bass come into the shallow areas
to feed before heading to deeper holes for the winter.
At The Pond:
Use worms for Bluegill and minnows or wax worms for Crappie.
For Bass use spinners, plastic worms and plastic minnows.
Use anything for Northern Pike. Try jigs and minnows for
Smallmouth. Use corn and dough balls for Carp.
Our plastic "Old Town Canoes" make the perfect quiet fishing vehicle.
Brett Says: Good Luck!
