Page 3 - Fishing Report 6-15-15

Sydney @ Robinson’s Bait; filed 6-15: “No catch reports. All the stormy weather of late has
kept anglers at bay. However, customers have been buying crawler harnesses and the Wa-
ter Puppet Jig from Someday Isle Tackle, a new company based in Erie.”

Benjamin Page of PFBC Lake Habitat Section; filed 6-15: “On even-
ing of June 11, after installing habitat structures at Pymatuning,
PFBC Lake Habitat Intern Dylan Snyder, caught a 24 inch Hybrid
Striped Bass on bread. Photo attached.”

Jim McClave (Andover); filed 6/6: “On June 5th, my wife caught a
slab crappie in 18 feet of water on a worm. The crappie still had
eggs in it. Walleye fishing has been spotty.”

Dylan with Hybrid Striper

RJ Graham (Tionesta); filed 6/5: “I had another great day on Pymatuning. We caught more
variety of fish than ever before. First off we caught a huge 17 inch crappie and some other
crappies over 13 inches; plus a 28 inch walleye and a few smaller ones. We got a 4 pound
smallmouth bass plus 30-some largemouth bass. Most of the fish came on GAMMA
Torque Braid and a Zoom Brush Hog with a Reins ½-oz. tungsten weight. The crappies
came in 15 feet of water on a Jackall Cross Tail Shad on drop-shot rig near Tuttle Point. The
walleyes and bass came from the grass.” (RJ’s photos follow.)

Conneaut Lake

Marilyn Black (Meadville); filed 6-7: “Darl and I fished Conneaut for a couple hours Sunday,
June 7. The water was high and very dirty, and green weeds were hard to fine due to
aquatic vegetation treatment a few weeks ago. We were looking for bluegills, but found
mainly pumpkinseeds – but the pumpkinseeds were larger than the bluegills. We talked
with Mark Siztas and Gail Peterson; they had been fishing for several hours with only a few
small bass to report. Hopefully next time we visit, the weedbeds will be coming back.”
