them jigging, on boards, dipsys, leadcore, plugs, spoons, jigs, worm harnesses – it didn’t matter.

The fish were schooled up and dropping into the Trench getting ready to head west to winter
over and spawn. It’s not over yet, but darn close! Have fun out there!

Rebecca @ Uncle John’s Elk Creek Campground; filed 9-18: Our guests have been catching
steelhead in Elk for the last week. Lots of fish! Check our guests’ photos.

Erie Bass Report

Jerry Hanna @ CDS Grove City, Jeff Barkley and friends battled glass flat
seas, blue skies and bright sun this past weekend on Erie to come up with a
few smallmouths. Due to conditions it was a tough bite but they connected
with some nice bass. Fish came on tubes and Galida’s Grubz.

Pete @ SmalliesontheYough.com: A few friends and I decided to fish Erie for
th
smallmouth bass on the 16 . We got to a spot in shallow water (5 to 8 feet)
around 8 am. We caught a few right away using 412ubes from 412 Bait Com-
pany. The bite died in short order and the lake went to glass. It was hot with
blue skies the entire day. I was using Gamma 8 lb. Edge for its abrasion re-
sistance and didn’t lose a fish or a lure.

Lake Wilhelm
Corey @ Lake Wilhelm Marina; filed 9-25: Not a lot to report; we are in pro-
cess of closing up for the winter the first week of October. Some crappies and
perch are being caught. No walleyes that we have heard about. A young wom-
an caught a nice largemouth bass over a week ago. (See photo)
