	Youghiogheny River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Youghiogheny River (pronounced yah-kuh-GAIN-ee) is a tributary of the Monongahela River, approximately 135 mi (217 km) long, in the U.S. states of West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.
		The Youghiogheny rises in northern West Virginia, in Preston County southeast of Kingwood and near Backbone Mountain.
		Upstream from Confluence, Pennsylvania, approximately 6 mi (10 km) north of Pennsylvania border, the river is impounded by the 184 ft (56 m) high Youghiogheny Dam to form the Youghiogheny River Lake, a reservoir that stretches upstream into northern Maryland.

		Fishing in the upper Youghiogheny River from Confluence, Somerset County, downstream to the South Connellsville Dam, Fayette County, appears to be improving.
		Trout are the dominant species in the upper river and overall the trout catch rate increased from one trout for every 1 1/4 hours of fishing in 1994 to one trout for every one hour of fishing last year.
		A total of 33 percent of the trout caught in that Youghiogheny Dam section were harvested, compared to 12 percent in the Casselman to Ohiopyle Falls section; 19 percent in the Ohiopyle Falls to Indian Creek stretch and 11 percent in the Indian Creek to South Connellsville Dam section.

	Aerial scans provide picture of acid mine pollution in Youghiogheny - PittsburghLIVE.com
		The Youghiogheny is pure enough to be a major source of drinking water as well as a recreational asset to the region, but Terry Ackman, head of the clean water team at the laboratory, who oversaw the airborne scans of the river, points out that it is "a fragile system."
		Numerous coal mines peppered the banks of the river, which was at the heart of the Connellsville Coal and Coke Region at the turn of the century.
		An aerial scan of the Youghiogheny River was first suggested five years ago at a conference at Penn State University's Fayette campus, sponsored by the private Youghiogheny River Council, and attended by a number of officials from state and federal environmental agencies.

	Fishing: Youghiogheny River is home to some brown trout beauties
		Most of the 20-plus inch beauties that Yough River regulars pull from the rugged water were probably planted as fingerlings six to 10 years ago as part of the state's annual spring stocking program from Confluence to Connellsville.
		The dam's most important effect on the river is that water can be released from the bottom, allowing for an influx of cooler, better-oxygenated flow even in August and September.
		Lorson surmises that 90 percent of the Youghiogheny River's trout population is from planted fingerlings.
