Cooter Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Fished there on both Sat and Sun - its a tough bite now, if you go I'd suggest early and late in the day or if you can plan around the weather or moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I'm heading out there in about an hour to try the last light and then again some time tomorrow. Report on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Lots of current along with muddy water going through Altoona right now. I wouldn't even waste your time out there until the flow on the river dies down. Landings may or may not be good enough to walk out on by the time that happens anyways.

Cooter Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hit Altoona Sat afternoon for a few hours. 4 smaller perch and one nice crappie - fished primarily for crappies and believe we would have done better targeting perch. In general the perch are biting but nothing consistent size wise. I expect the crappies to fire up with some warm, stable weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Very messy out there, water/slush under the snow - water coming up the holes. Probably typicaly of many lakes this year. Been out twice and caught a as in one perch each outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Altoona has been tough thus far this year, even with adequate ice early on. Average size of gills, crappies, and perch is good but you will work for them. I don't know anyone who is getting numbers with any consistency.

Cooter Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Boy, seems to be more of the same this year - tough going. Hope it picks up, but not what we'd like to see this early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Know several out there - marking fish but tough getting them to bite, at least keeper sized fish. At least a good sign of some up and coming year classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Wish I had better news but my bud is laid off right now and spending a lot of time out there and hasn't had any luck other than a few little ones and the occasional keeper. People are marking fish, but it sure seems slow overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
