I don’t want to jinx it…but it really looks like
spring has finally arrived to NW PA. And it lit-
erally happened overnight. After a wet, cold,
snowy April (including snow on my vehicle
the last several days of April, Mother Nature
suddenly threw the switch. Three days into
May the temperature was near 80 degrees.
And BAM! Fish species which had been slow
to bite on inland lakes were eagerly biting.
This past weekend while I attended the PA
Outdoor Writers Conference, I began receiv-
ing reports of largemouth bass, big crappies,
white bass, walleyes, pike and muskies being
caught at Pymatuning Lake and Shenango
Lake. Smallmouth Bass were blasting artificial
baits on the Allegheny River and at Presque
Isle Bay. Yep! A switch was flipped! Now is
not the time to cut grass, wash cars, dilly
Rob Selle with brace of Allegheny smallies caught around other spring Honey-Do list. Now is the
near Franklin time to Go Fish!
