Fall bite was peaking in November, a bit behind schedule due to prolonged warm weather. But then on Thanksgiving a huge polar storm suddenly plunged NW PA into the depths of winter with up three to six feet of snow across much of the region and blizzard conditions for several day. Fishing ground to a...

Warm water temperatures held on much longer than usual this fall, postponing the peak mid-to-late-fall bite. But the bite has kicked in recently and some very fine bass and crappie catches are being made. Erie steelhead run remains spotty due to lack of rain but that might change with the rain and snow currently falling....

A little cool down (back to normal temps) plus some fresh rain to raise lake levels a bit and break up the toxic algae blooms that have plagued numerous NW PA impounded waters. The Dog Days of Summer are looking pretty good right now as a strong walleye bite continues on Lake Erie, smallmouth bass...

It continues to be a wet, stormy, overcast spring for the most part with only scattered days of warmth and sun. Normal fishing patterns have been upset somewhat this spring, but hopefully going into the second week of May, the weather and water conditions will normalize somewhat. Right now the hot bites are crappies, smallmouth...

It’s been a wild ride here in NW PA for the last six weeks with wide swings in the weather. At times, fishing has been very good for this early in the year, but then a dramatic change occurs with either sudden major drop in temperature or heavy, prolonged rainfall that floods area stream, lakes...

Another record-setting winter for overall warm temperatures in NW PA. Ice cover came on late as result of a short extreme cold snap in early January. But safe ice lasted only about one week. The result of the late January thaw flushed the steelhead creeks, opened the Allegheny and melted all ice on lakes. Anglers...

The weather remains unusually mild for mid-December in NW PA. Water is chilled, but no sign of ice, and very little rain or snow in forecast. Lots of steelhead in the Erie tributaries, but the flow is low and clear making strikes few and far between for most. Perch catches are decent in Presque Isle...

Unusual fall weather has created ups and downs in the NW PA Fishing. Lack of rain has rivers and streams at very low levels for this time of year. This is most evident in the Erie tributaries where steelhead are stuck near the mouth or isolated in a few holes that have water. Fish have...

It feels like fall in Northwest PA, and the fish know it. So far in October, it has been an absolute awesome smallmouth bite on the Allegheny River, French Creek, Shenango Lake/Shenango River and other inland lakes. Up Lake Erie way, steelhead are staged at creek mouths and slightly upstream waiting on a good rainfall...
