Rebecca @ Uncle Johns Elk Creek Campground; filed 10-7: Anglers staying at our campground
have been having a great time catching steelhead this past week. Excellent steelhead catches so
far this fall. At daylight the other morning, we observed over 200 steelhead move upstream

Lake Wilhelm
Vickie @ Fergie’s; filed 10-9: After being in the low 60s weeks ago,
the lake temperature has risen to 70 degrees with the recent heat
wave. Temp is going in the wrong direction! We had a report of
some nice walleyes being taken down around Launch 2. Also, the
word is crappies are hitting in the Marina.

Brandon Hanna @ Consumer Direct Sports; filed 10-9: I got out
th
fishing on Wilhelm for a little while on Saturday the 7 . I caught
quite a few bass on spinnerbaits under windy conditions, including
this 5.02 pound. Hoping to get back up to Wilhelm for a repeat per-
Brandon Hanna’s Wilhelm Fiver!
formance soon. (See photo at right)

Shenango Lake
Randy @ Fish West PA; filed 10-9: Fish are absolutely getting
active as water temperatures come down. All Species are feed-
ing now. Boat traffic is low right now and this is a gorgeous time
of year to be on the water. Great time to go fishing! (See photo
