Western Crawford County WCO Fishing Report -
WCO Joe Russell
The fishing this week has slowed in Pymatuning Lake probably due to the
really good weather, local
fishermen are somewhat hopeful that the rain we got today (Tuesday) will
start the walleye biting again. Bass and Crappies are still doing good though
and the back bays and areas with structure should definitely not be
overlooked.
Conneaut lake has started to turn on with the back waters warming the panfish
have really started hitting and several fishermen reported having good luck
with trolling. The hotspot for the week though definitely has to be the Hartstown Swamp
area, I personally fished there Sunday and Monday with my father and the
action was unbelievable. With an ultralight or a fly rod you can have hours
of fun. The Bass and Panfish would hit on just about every other cast and the
Bullhead were just the right size for good eating. This is also a good place
to take children as the banks are not steep and the action is enough to keep
them occupied, (my 4 and 8 year old had a ball). When you are young not every
fish has to be a wall hanger to be a trophy and these smaller fish were well
worth the time. I would recommend bug spray though because at sundown the
mosquitoes got fierce.
