WCO Joe Russell - Western Crawford County
fishcop16@hotmail.com Conneaut Lake- Bluegills abound from the reports I have been receiving from
fishermen in Huidiekooper Bay. Fishermen are taking large numbers by
drifting a jig or maggot under a bobber and fishing the shallows and weed
beds. Some pike and bass are also being taken as well. Pymatuning Lake- The hot spot for this lake this week has to be the
causeway. Fishing a suspended worm at night or late in the day is producing
the most fish. WCO Morder recently came to the lake camping with his family
and he caught some this way. (and if he can catch them anyone can). Some
fishermen have also relayed success stories of drifting and trolling with
hot-n-tots as well, so that may be something to keep in mind. Muskies are
still being caught by fishermen trolling but it seems the most dedicated
ones who target them specifically are the one who are having the best luck. Turtle trapping has exploded in this area so if you happen to see milk jugs
floating in the lake or a pond that is probably the reason. If you are
interested in trapping turtles don't forget it does require a fishing
license, as well as other rules to follow. It is regulated so don't just go
out and
grab them... they are protected by these regulations.
