NW PA FISHING REPORT for November 24, 2015

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

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

FRENCH CREEK – Flowing through all four counties

Angler Al (Franklin); filed 11/22: “On Friday, November 20th, I fished the later afternoon
hours on French Creek. I had only a few strikes; caught two small pike using big creek bait.
Did have dropped run on one of the larger chubs. Out again on Saturday – but no
bites!??”

Dave @ Richter’s Bait & Tackle; filed 11/23: “Well, this is a mixed report on walleyes. An-
glers are still catching good crappies and bluegills off the Jamestown Marina Docks. But
the walleye bite on the lake appears to be up and down. Occasionally, I’ll have customers
report making nice catches of walleyes on blades. Just yesterday, two guys from down
state stopped in show off a limit of ‘eye. But the walleye bite has not been consistent.
Many anglers are complaining about catching few legal walleye. Last week local walleye
guru Dan Wielobob stopped by to chat; he says the Pymatuning bite has been very poor
so far this fall so he has been fishing Conneaut Lake for crappies and bluegills. Heck, I
even struck out on walleyes on my last trip out…but caught a lot more crappies than usual
on blades! But the lake water temp just dropped below 50 degrees a few days ago, and
usually the best ‘eye bite is when the water temp is falling through the 40s. Fingers
crossed…the best is yet to come.”
