The attached pictures are from a trip on February 7 fishing with my son Kevin and my grandson Reece.
Reece is holding a very fat 22 inch walleye that took him 10 minutes to land. We have also been fishing
Shenango Lake at Golden Run for crappies with some success using 1/32 oz. jigs tipped with a mag-
got.” (See photos)

Loby (Conneaut Lake); filed 2/10: “I’ve been jigging blades at Pymatuning to catch walleyes, including the
Vibe-B and BPS XSP Lazer blade in sizes ¼ and 3/8 ounce. Gold is my favorite color.” (see photos)

Lake Canadohta
An ice fishing tournament sponsored by Timberland Bait Shop was held at Canadohta Lake on February
14. Sara @ Timberland Bait sent photos of the winner in each species category; but she only identified
Joe Fink of Pittsburgh as the first place winner of $350 for a 28-3/4 inch northern pike. (See photos)

Woodcock Lake
Trevor Pavlik; filed 2/16: “I caught two muskies at Woodcock this past week. I was jigging live minnows
on a Swedish Pimple and fishing big shiners on the tip-ups. We were fishing on a drop that went from 10
feet to 20 feet. The larger musky was 48 inches and the smaller one was 32.5 inches.” (See photos)

Sugar Lake
nd
Angler Al (Franklin); filed 1/24: “On January 22 my neighbor Luke and I rode our snowmobiles over to
Sugar Lake. The ice was 7 inches thick, but with a layer of slush on top. Other sleds had been on the ice,
so we motored out to see what the two men nearest the hotel might be catching. Turned out they were
fellows I knew from the Shippenville area – Daryl and Von. They had caught a few perch on minnows be-
fore I arrived. However while visiting with them, one of Von’s tip-ups went off. He tugged once on the
braided line and said “This ain’t no perch.” His Fireline held true and he worked a two-foot fish out of the
hole. Initially believing it was a funny looking musky, it turned out to be later identified as 24 inch Chain
Pickerel!” (See photo)
