Pymatuning

Went there Sat. May 9. Caught a mixed bag which is typical there. Some nice crappie, some jumbo perch and 2 legal walleye between the three of us. We had to move frequently and failed to find neither crappie nor perch in bunches. Water surface temp read 71 degrees at the highest. Stumps were packed early on but quite void of boats by around 2pm. We caught enough to keep interest but the pace was slower than past years' first trips.

You rarely receive much feed back out of pymatuning. Once you see the blue army its at its peak very close to past the peak. This cold front slowed the action but what it really did was extend the action into mid June. Suspended waleye you say? Mid June....go ask leadcore Larry!

Yep, and from mid June til Sept I am on that lake as much as possible.   Nobody in my way, ramps nice and open, the hotter the better.   Sure, the fish don't jump into the boat like a lot of these early birds want, but you fish hard and definitely get rewarded.  Not just walleye, either.  Still catch nice crappie and large cats.   A lot more relaxed atmosphere..
