WESTERN CRAWFORD COUNTY, WCO Joe Russell Pymatuning Lake:
Rain continues to be a problem for both boaters and fishermen here. The lake is currently more than a foot above normal pool and most of the docks that are fixed are under water. Every time the water starts warming up and the warm water species start biting we get a storm and it slows them down again. At least we don’t have a drought or have to worry about lower units this year. Horsepower Change:
DCNR has made a news announcement that as of last week Saturday all the State Park Lakes that were taking place in the 18 HP pilot programs will be going to 20 HP and Pymatuning will also be 20 HP pending legislative action. Don’t purchase that 10 HP for the rest of this season because depending on your representatives it could be 20 Horse by the next boating season. Conneaut Lake:
Bowfin and Bullheads are biting very well at night from our access area at night. I checked several people there last weekend around midnight and they were averaging a fish every 5 or 6 minutes. Worms on the bottom were the bait of choice and they were producing well
