NW PA FISHING REPORT for October 28, 2015

This Report is brought to you by the PA Great Lakes Region tourism with ad-
ditional 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
Dave @ Richter’s Bait and Tackle; filed 10/26: “Between the
low water and start of hunting season, there are not a lot of
anglers on Pymatuning. A few anglers are catching some nice
walleyes on blades. There are reports coming in of walleyes
being caught in the Shenango River below Pymatuning, too.”

Norm @ Jamestown Boat Livery; filed 10/26: “The word is blades for walleyes in the
southern-most part of the lake. Also, crappies seem to be active. I had one regular who
fishes every day who reports catching 125 crappies this past week with most of the fish
ranging from 9 to 11 inches; reported depth was 14 to 18 feet.”

Patty @ Poff’s Place; filed 10/26: “Not a lot happening in the north end of the lake. Some
anglers are catching yellow perch off the causeway. A handful of guys who really know
what they are doing are catching some walleye on the South End. A slow bite coupled
with low water that makes launching very difficult in the mid and north end of the lake
has reduced the number of anglers out there.”

Darl @ Fishing with Darl Black; filed 10/23: “First time back on Pymatuning since early Ju-
ly – of course it had to be a bluebird cold front day. We fished the South End near Jame-
stown Boat Livery. There were only two other trailers in the parking lot. I talked to one an-
gler who had fished the last two days with only a couple small walleyes and perch to
show. On the water, I did not see the big balls of suspended shad with big marks below
them as I had hoped for; water temp was still in the upper 50s, so hopefully better action
