Western Crawford County / WCO JOE RUSSELL
Pymatuning Lake- Mother nature has played a cruel trick on all the spring fishermen here at the lake this week with the 4"-6" of snow that we got and all the cold weather the fish have shut right down. I spoke to the hatchery today as well and they have had very slow results as well with all the nets they have out today's catch totals were 8 walleye, 2 crappie, and 1 perch. The shore fishermen and boaters I have checked have also had the same results, I haven't checked any fish in over a week. I have checked numerous boats however and had multiple violations due to the fact that "this was our maiden voyage and we just needed to get out" this time of year more than ever you should have all your safety gear and equipment, that water is extremely cold. If you are in the area on April 6 I will be at the hatchery for open house doing a law enforcement display, stop by and say Hi.

See, Watch, Learn...
Open House At Linesville Fish Culture Station -April 6, 2002 / 12 noon - 4 PM Linesville, PA
Here's a day you won't want to miss, a day the entire family can enjoy TOGETHER. See fish spawned; view incubating eggs and newly hatched fish; watch as fishery biologists demonstrate electrofishing and other fishery management techniques; see hatchery equipment in operation; observe fish culturists sorting, sexing and grading fish; learn how to tell the age of a fish; watch demonstrations on fishing techniques, casting, filleting; learn about safe boating practices and the latest safety equipment...plus a whole lot more.
Spend a DAY AT THE HATCHERY with family and friends. It's fascinating! And it's sure to be a great experience whether you fish or not. Don't miss it!

Please call Pymatuning State Park to register: (724) 932-3142. See you there!

Conneaut lake- I checked some fishermen here on sunday who had gone out at first light and were just coming in around 4 pm, they relayed that not only had they not gotten a single hit all day long but they had to break the ice out of the channel at the north end of the lake before they could try to fish. Needless to say they were not happy and fishing has slowed down here as well.
