best. Perch are spotty around 40 to 55 feet, with some guys getting limits while others
get nothing. Go figure.”

Becky @ Elk Creek Sports; filed 6-27: “Fishing success on the lake has been inconsistent.
Perch and walleyes are scattered – here one day, gone the next.”

Keith @ Dutch Fork Custom Lures; filed 6-20; “Keith from Dutch Fork Custom Lures,
Melissa and Ed Rogowski from Erie fished out of Walnut Creek on June 17, 18 and 19. We
ran Dutch Fork Ghost Blades with 1-ounce inline weight, 6’ foot leader at 55 to 70 feet
behind an offshore planer Board in 40 to 42 feet of water going 1.5 to 1.7 mph. Best col-
ors were Krappie, Orange Crush and Pink Squirrel. Water was flat to one foot, sunny and
hot – no serious bugs yet. See our photos for results.” (Three photos below from Dutch
Fork Custom Lures; 4th one on Livewell Page)

Presque Isle Bay
Thomas Watral @ East Side Bait; filed 6-14: “Liberty Pier has been hot spot for large
rock bass and some nice summer perch. The best baits have been crawlers on crappie
rigs and sometime small jigs tipped with grubs; casting into 18 to 19 feet of water.”

MERCER COUNTY

Mike @ CDS; filed 6-27: “I’ve had good reports about walleyes at Wilhelm. Shenango
Lake is too busy for me this time of year. I’ve been catching smallmouth in Wolf Creek,
Neshannock Creek and Slippery Rock Creek by fishing from my kayak. Area farm ponds
are producing largemouth bass, too.”

Shenango River Lake
Drew @ 5 Points Country Store; filed 6-27: “My report from Shenango can be summed
up as lots of small crappies, active channel cats plus a few flatheads, and a slowdown in
hybrid striper bite.”
