CRAWFORD COUNTY

Pymatuning Lake
Dave @ Richter’s Tackle; filed 5/18: “Yesterday my wife and I wanted to go walleye fish-
ing but it was too calm so we fished mid-lake white crappie spawning beds; we caught
them pretty good on minnows. My boy has been out several times, catching limits of
walleye drifting crawlers in five to seven feet of water. Walleye fishing has been good
when we have the right condition. But you need the wind to put a chop on the water to
catch them ‘eye. A few anglers are starting to catch walleye at night casting Bomber
Long As and Rapala Minnows. My boy caught three the other night and missed five. He
