WESTERN CRAWFORD COUNTY, WCO Joe Russell Pymatuning Lake, Conneaut Lake:
Fishing has slowed down this week and boat traffic has all but stopped except for the few brave souls who venture out on the weekends. Winter has started to show its ugly head and the temperatures have been dropping regularly here. Fish can still be had but it takes some work, concentrate on the deeper water and fish slower presentations allowing the fish time to go after your bait. Colder water will slow the fish strikes down but they will still be present just not as aggressive. Switch to more bait fishing or tip your lures with some bait now to give it a smell and taste and you should improve your odds of success. An oversight has been brought to my attention that requires my apology and correction.
Last week I reported about the fishermen who were truly sportsmen and helped my Mom on Walnut Creek project waters with the steelhead. I mistakenly reported the names as Ted Bender and Tom Hogan when in fact it should have been Ted Varshine and Tom Hogan. I apologize for getting your name wrong Mr. Varshine and once again wish to express my gratitude for your help at making my folks trip a HUGE success. Don’t forget to Pack for that fishing or hunting trip in advance, if you are planning on coming out to enjoy our vastly popular recreational areas. Make a list of items that you will be using then double check while packing the car. My father who is extremely hooked on our steelhead streams was so excited to get back out here again with my uncle and my cousin that all the flies he had tied the week before were left in his basement in his haste to get going. Not to worry though I had a vice and he was busy tying the night he got here so he had flies to use the next day. By the way we had another several days of outstanding fishing with the steelhead cooperating while they were here.
