Youghiogheny River Lake otherwise known as Yough Lake - pronounced "Yawk"
Yough Lake is a flood controlled reservoir.  The lake was formed in 1944 by damming the Youghiogheny River upstream from Confluence, Pennsylvania.  Inhabited by a large variety of game and panfish, the lake is especially known as a hotspot for walleye and smallmouth bass. The tail waters of the dam are very popular for trout fishing.  In addition to Yough Lake, there are other lakes and streams around Fayette County Pa where great fishing can be found.
