Sweet and Sour: Lots of steelhead in the low-
er sections of Erie tributaries and lots of an-
glers too – but more sustained water needed
to move the fish upstream. (See what Erie
Bait Shops have to say about this year’s run.)
Shenango River Lake continues to produce
wonderful striper, white bass and crappie
catches – but the topwater striper fishing
may be fading soon. (Rick, Randy and Ken will
keep us posted.) Smallmouth bass on Alle-
gheny are starting their fall bite – but floating
weeds can foul up almost every cast. (Read
the Gamma Tip from Jeff Knapp hot fall baits
on Page 12) The PFBC conclusively found it is
KHV that is killing carp at Pymatuning and its
impact on carp is diminishing with cooler wa-
ter – but don’t be surprised should it come
back in the future. (Read more on this virus
and why it’s safe to go back to Pymatuning in
this issue on Page 8.)
