RJ Graham (Tionesta); filed 10/4: “Darl, I fished
Pymie today (10/4) in the cold and wind. We man-
aged a good day with 3 smallmouths and 15 large-
mouths, mostly on a ½-ounce mop jig offshore.”

Conneaut Lake
Marilyn Black (Cochranton); filed 10/12: “Monday was a holiday for me so Darl and I went

Woodcock Creek Lake
Randy Byham (Saegertown); filed 10/12: “Darl…I’ve always only fished French Creek and
the Allegheny River, but living 5 minutes from Woodcock Creek Lake, I decided to give it a
shot. Actually fished the edge the same way I fish streams, and surprisingly began catching
