The Landing Net by Darl Black

It’s August. Although some are thinking about children returning to school, there’s still a
lot of fishing to be done before the bell rings. Right now, both French Creek and the Alle-
gheny River are low and clear (except when we get a rain storm), so smallmouth bass fish-
ing it on fire. Wading and kayaking are excellent ways
to fish flowing water in August. Decent walleye catches
are still being made at Pymatuning, and of course Lake
Erie. Ken Smith says Shenango crappie fishing is hot.
The big bluegills are biting at Conneaut. And don’t for-
get catfish! Yes, we still have lots of summer fishing
left…then the awesome fall bite arrives! Go Fish!
