CRAWFORD COUNTY

Pymatuning Lake
Dave @ Richter’s Bait; filed 2/19: During the last thaw and
rain, the level of Pymatuning lake came up, creating unsafe
edges and some ice piling up. There is open water from the
Linesville Spillway out to the islands. I’m surprised no one is

fishing the spillway since walleyes are likely moving into the
current flow. Only a few people were out ice fishing over the
Fishing Jamestown Docks in comfort.
weekend. I checked the ice at South end but found it too po-
rous for my liking – I would not be out on it. If we get the projected warm weather and rain
this weekend, I would not be surprised to see a lot of ice disappear on this lake. On the posi-
tive note, anglers are catching some walleyes in the Shenango River below the dam.

Brook @ Gateway Bait; filed 2/19: Some guys have been fishing off of Tuttle Point, Snodgrass

and Ohio Campground, but catches have not been impressive. Mainly small perch.

Sam @ Robinson’s Tackle; filed 2/19: A few guys out, but not a lot of success. Edges are rough.
Most are fishing off Tuttle and Wilson.

Conneaut Lake
Conneaut Lake Ice House Festival will be held this Saturday, Feb 23. Check

out activities between 10 AM and 3 PM – ice carving, chili cook-off, ice
fishing instruction, crafts, etc. Check Facebook page for more infor-
mation.

Dale Clemmer (Cochranton); filed over a week ago: I have been having
success on Conneaut Lake, catching pike, bluegill and perch.

Woodcock Creek Lake

Joshua @ Myer’s Sportsman Connection; filed 2/19: French Creek and
Woodcock Creek are pretty high right now. When the water flow has been
less, guys have been catching walleyes at the outflow below the dam. Ice
cover on the lake has been disrupted by rain and thaw – no one ice fish-
ing. Earlier in February, a few guys were getting walleyes in the lake, but
no sign of crappies.
