CRAWFORD COUNTY

Pymatuning Lake
Dave @ Richter’s Tackle & Bait; filed 4/6: “As of this morning there is very little ice left on
Pymatuning. There are still a few sheets being blown around but they should be gone
with the rain coming in later today and Tuesday. My son and I caught 50 crappies fishing
from shore at the North end of the Lake on Friday, but only kept about a dozen. The shal-
low crappie bite will be full on this week. Guys have been catching walleyes at the Lines-
ville Spillway and at the PA Bridge on the Espyville Causeway. Wading anglers will be out
any time now, fishing the evening hours near inflowing creeks.”

Sydney @ Robinson’s Bait; filed 4/6: “The remaining ice on the lake has shifted to the
eastern part of the lake due to the winds. There is no ice visible north or south from the
Espyville Causeway. There is ice build-up on the rocks at the Linesville Spillway. We had
customer reports from yesterday about crappies and perch were hitting at Bridge 20
down from the Linesville Spillway. Sporadic reports of perch along the northern shoreline,
