Since Pittsburgh is located near three rivers, fishing is easily accessible. After the closer of the mills and steel plants, the rivers became less polluted and fish began to live in the waters again. Fish found in the rivers are, smallmouth bass, walleyes and saugers and rainbow trout. The best places to fish are off bridges and near the cement barriers of the rivers. Also old docks and boat ramps have been found to have large sources of fish near them. Even though Pittsburg is a large city, there are still opportunities to fish and make you feel as if you have left the city behind you for a moment. The Allegheny Monongahela and Ohio Rivers are excellent places to go fishing while in the Pittsburgh area.
