- 4/2: “Cold rain and snow on the ground. Things started slow but the bite picked up
as the day went on. Two more 20 inch bass plus a bunch of other sized fish. Again it
was a bank pattern for us, using cranks at first and switching to 412ubes as the wa-
ter cleared. The weather was crazy but the fishing ended up being pretty good – you
never know what is going to happen until you get out and fish.”

Bill Logan (Pleasantville)
- 3/16: “Got 4 smallmouths today before wind and white
caps drove me off. Two came on a Rapala Shadow Rap
Shad and the others on a grub.”
- 3/22: “It was windy again on the river. I missed 2 fish and
caught 20-inch pike. Water temp was 39 degrees, but at
least it was windy. Boat being blown all over due to wind.
Did I mention it was windy?”
- 3/26: “Today I got 5 bass, 1 walleye and 2 pike on swim
baits and a Rapala Shadow Rap Shad.”
- 3/30: “Did the wind stop me from fishing the river today? Logan “Windmaster” Logan
No! Okay it beat me up…but I did catch a pike.”

RG Graham (Tionesta); filed 3/21: “We fished the river today. It was slow and cold! Water
temp in lower 40s. We managed a few bass. Remember to wear your PFD in cold water
season – it saves lives!”

Matt Watson (Franklin) filed 3/26: “Fished on the 24th; I landed 2 pike and 2 smallmouths.
On the 25th we got 4 pike and 2 smallies; biggest pike was 30 inches and smallmouths were
16 to 18inches…fishing Rapala Husky Jerks from shore. Today, March 26, the bite was hot
in the Oil City pool I’m told…sadly I fished somewhere else! I did catch a 5 pound small-
mouth and a couple small pike. Then a huge musky ate my Rapala X-Rap and that ended
that. On another note, we had a muskrat attack a friend’s pit bull today; the muskrat was
showing all the signs of rabies – so be careful out there.!”
