Schuylkill River in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania

[John Bacon]

I will be at a client in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania in May. It is located on the Schuylkill River near Philadelphia. I am hoping to do some fishing while I am there. Does anybody know what fish are available in this area?

 

A Google search indicates that there are brookies, bows, browns, and smallmouth in the river. It is a long river and I will be in lower section near where it flows into the Delaware so I am thinking that smallmouth would be more common than trout in this area.

I don't know if I'd want to catch any fish from a river with a name like that and then the name of the place...

I haven't fished it before but as a trib of the deleware it might also get a shad run and they are fun to catch.

Thanks for the info. There is a shad run but I think they will gone by the time I get there.
