Western Crawford County / WCO Joe Russell Pymatuning Lake- The ice is gone and boating has started however I haven’t seen to much activity or success. The only ones out so far braving the cold have been the die hards and people with cabin fever. A lot of phone calls have been coming in about dead fish floating around the edge of the lake and in the out flow, these are gizzard shad and this is a yearly occurrence due to the change in temperature. These are basically forage fish and are not as able to take the change as other fish are. It is definitely nothing to worry about though. Conneaut Lake- No activity has been noted here for the last week and I have heard from no fishermen with tales of success so not much to report for here this week. Shenango River/ Pymatuning Outflow- I have seen a couple of walleye taken here so far, both of which were legal fish. The female was full of eggs however they were hard and green yet and not ready for a spawning run. The bait of choice is definitely Minnie’s here or jig heads tipped with Minnie’s. Fishermen are reminded that as of this Friday / March 1 the Linesville Creek and Paden/Findley Creek are designated as nursery waters and fishing is prohibited. This remains in effect until April 14.
