WCO Joe Russell ... Western Crawford County... Pymatuning Lake ...
is still a little slow on the walleyes, however some wise
anglers (or lucky ones) did pick up a few full stringers. They appear to be
in
deep water and close to the bottom. Suspended worms and live bait are still
the hot ticket. Bluegill and bass are still doing good around the structures
but they have slowed down somewhat as well. Some muskies have been taken this
week but still no real big numbers, they should pick up soon. Conneaut Lake...
is the hot spot this week, and the word for the day over the
weekend is BLUEGILLS, BLUEGILLS, BLUEGILLS and lots of them. Anglers working
the shallows this weekend were picking up a lot of fish by jigging. Bass are
still doing great around the docks and structures and rubber worms and
spinner baits seem to be the key. Several anglers told me over the weekend
that they were doing really well with Northerns as well. The lake is being
treated for weeds today (Wed 6/13/01) though so if you have a favorite weed
bed that you have been fishing you may want to get there early to see if it
has changed. ***Tammarack Lake *** - (Hottest Tip of the Week !!!)
is making its grand opening this Saturday with the start of Bass Season and
will definitely be a hot spot for quite some time. Alot of really BIG FISH
were stocked there from the Fish and Boat Comm. hatchery trap nets and quite
a few were from the nursery waters at Pymatuning (which means they have never
seen a hook) There is also a new handicap area and fishing point that has
been dredged out along its sides for deeper water. This would be an excellent
place to bring kids, as it is flat and easy to get to. Many of the Crappies
transplanted were in the 16" range as well as many other assorted species of
large size. If you were ever going to take vacation to go fishing ... this
may be the time & place. Turtles...
A large number of turtles have been sighted along the roadways in Crawford
County this last week. Motorists are asked to be careful and try to avoid
them. No matter how cute they look... they do not make good pets as they are
wild animals and protected by seasons and bag limits.
