WESTERN CRAWFORD COUNTY, WCO Joe Russell: Pymatuning Lake:
The recent cold rains and low pressure system that came through has all but shut the fish down. Fishermen were experiencing luck wading towards evening right before sundown however now that is even stopped. Hopefully these last few days of very warm and sunny weather will raise the water temps and bring the fish in to feed again. Quite a few fishermen have been telling me they are catching a lot of Muskies this year. They have been running in shallow and feeding on the other fish. It looks like it might be a great year to try and catch one of these fifty plus inch giants.
Renovations at the State Park:
If you are around the state park you may notice all the bathrooms have been closed and porta-johns have been set up around them. This is do to work being done to convert all the pit toilets to flush toilets. This will not only make them more economical but a lot more environmentally friendly. The minor inconvenience we have to endure for this short period will be a significant benefit for us in the long run.
Conneaut Lake:
Still not much fishing pressure here and most of the docks are still empty from the boats not being in the water yet. The pressure that was taking place in the inlet at the North end has also slowed down with only sporadic fishermen hitting it now. This would definitely be the lake to hit if you want some seclusion from other fishermen. Should you go here and have any success let me know I would like to hear from you.
