NW PA FISHING REPORT for October 13, 2015

This Report is brought to you by the PA Great Lakes Region tourism with additional
sponsorship from Wiegel Brothers Marine and Gamma Fishing.

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

CRAWFORD COUNTY

Pymatuning Lake
Patty @ Poff’s Place; filed 10/13: “Some anglers are catching walleyes on blades off the
bridges. Small yellow perch are biting, but crappies are slow. The catfish bite has slacked
off. Best Selling Lures at Poff’s Place have been Vib-E and Heddon Sonar blades.”

Dave @ Richter’s Tackle Shop; filed 10/13: “This past weekend the walleye bite on blades
was pretty good. I’ve heard a lot about smallmouth bass this fall, too.”

Norm @ Jamestown Boat Livery; filed 10/13: “The blade bait for walleyes has been strong
with a few guys reporting limits, but most anglers are catching 3 or 4 keepers. Crappies
are hitting on the South End, too. Fish are being taken in 12 to 15 feet. Launching is okay
at Jamestown ramp for normal fishing boats but I would not attempt a long deep keel
boat.”

Laurie @ Duck-N-Drake; filed 10/9: “I wanted to let everyone know that I am now closed
for the season. I will not open again till the ice breaks on the lake in the spring. Thanks to
everyone for their business this past season, have a great fall & winter, and I’ll see you in
the spring.”

Jim McClave (Andover); filed 10/12: “Darl, I have been out on Pymie three or four times
this past week. Fishing various depths and trying different baits. The only fish we are
catching are small perch and catfish. Looks like a windy week ahead, with some nights go-
ing down into the 30s. That might kick-start some fall walleyes – I hope!”

Robert Nypaver; filed 10/8: “I caught this 26 inch walleye on Oc-
tober 8 at Pymatuning Lake. I was trolling a blue & chrome Hot-N-
Tot in 19 feet of water on the South End.” See photo at right.
