O The Yough - 10.25.2026

[nd1001]

I biked the "middle yough" with a buddy last week for two days. Fished ok, no youghness monsters landed but some solid fish in the 14-16 inch range. I haven't explored the section below Ohiopyle yet but it's on my list. I was a little annoyed they didn't drop the flows back to where they were before the weekend. The river opens up quite a bit to wading when it's 800 and below.

Youghness monster, that’s a good one 😆

For a long time, I thought this river was pronounced like “Yew”

I hadn't heard this Bob Weir song before.

I took those lines from the old traditional song "Shenandoah", which Bob included a few lines of in his song.

Check out this podcast episode, it's all about the making of Blue Mountain.
Bob talks about using parts of the original song.
