WESTERN CRAWFORD COUNTY / WCO JOE RUSSELL Pymatuning Lake: The walleye fishing is starting to pick up again with the water cooling off. The last measurement taken I believe it was at 59 degrees. Sonar's are supposedly what is working best right now in the deeper water and sizes have ranged from 17" to 23." The fall run is usually a lot less active than the spring run but after such a long stretch with no activity anything seems good right now. Water levels are still extremely low so boaters should beware of where they are boating to avoid hidden obstacles.Conneaut Lake: has been slow so far this week with very little or no activity to speak of so not much to report from there. PUBLIC MEETING TO BE HELD: On November 21st at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM there will be a public meeting held at Pymatuning Valley Primary School in Andover Ohio. This will be a public forum to express your views on a Horsepower Increase for Pymatuning Lake. Public opinion is wanted on an increase to 18Hp., 25Hp. or staying at the current 10Hp. The option of unlimited horsepower, towing skiers, and personal watercraft (jetskis) are not going to change and will remain as they are now. This will be your chance to make your opinions heard because no ones mind is made up yet, and if you do not express your views for this meeting then shame on you. Members of Pa. State Parks, Ohio State Parks, Pa. Fish and Boat Commission, Ohio Division of Watercraft, Ohio Division of Wildlife, and hopefully the State Representatives Office will be in attendance. Plan on attending if at all possible.
