We answer the question “What’s biting in the lakes, streams and rivers of Crawford, Erie,
Mercer and Venango counties?”

French Creek – Flowing through all four counties

Angler Al (Franklin); filed 6-21: “My brother Steve and I fished
French Creek during the late hours of day on the 21st. Using an
Original Rapala Minnow and Rebel Crayfish plug, we managed a
few smallmouth bass. The water level is extremely low and the
weeds are thick already. See photo of Steve Bell’s catch.”

Norm @ Jamestown Marina; filed 6-27: “Fishing reports were a little light this past week-

gills, crappies and of course catfish come in through the marina. Most cats were channels,
but there were a few flatheads. Not much on the walleyes over the weekend. If you are
