Lake Pleasant in Erie County may be best known as a stocked trout lake, but it also has good
warmwater species opportunities. Trout fishing success lasts into summer because it is a two-
story fishery with deep cooler water. But last year when sampling the shallows we got 6 legal
Northern Pike from 25 to 35 inches; 1100 Bluegills with 96% over 7 inches, 261 Black Crappies
with 76% over 9 inches. In the May bass survey we had 91 bass with 11 of them over 15 inches.
