HELP... Fall fishing Pymie ...
With the cooler temps of fall would you fish the north end or south end of Pymie?
The north end, having shallower water, maybe cooler than the south end with the deeper water. Or it might just be the other way around. Help!! My bro-in-law is going to be here next week and would like to go fishing.
I don't want directions to your "honey hole", just point me in the right direction. We're not looking to catch a ton of fish, just want to make a memory and have a good time.
Later... Chuckles

When In doubt I always catch some fish on the causeway .. I fish my way from the Ohio line back to boat launch . Two poles . One with a slip bobber and minnow .. set anywhere from 4-7ft deep the other just a 1/16th jighead and skirt tipped with maggots .. fish you way around both sides of the road until you catch one .(mostly crappies , but I've caught cats, perch,Gil's,white bass, walleye) if you catch a fish try and get your lines back in quick because these fish are on the move .. if you looking to stay put try and keep towards the channel .. always some kind of fish around

Are you going to be on a boat or from shore? I have very limited time on Pymie, but have mostly been able to find fish from the boat when there. If you are stuck to shore, then you are obviously limited a bit more. Some guys could be crushing fish on the South, but out 200 yards from shore, fishing structure. Meanwhile, things on the North could be slower on the boat, but have some fishing hanging out at the shoreline weed beds, ect.

We will be renting a boat. That is why I asked North or South end.
I think we'll try trolling curly tails tipped with a minnie to start. I have a fish finder so we'll not be flying blind. Maybe the fish will be down on the bottom in the deep water.
I'll have to watch the weather because Pymie can get nasty.

Chuckles,
Get on the PBFC web site and find the coordinates for the sunken brush/cribs they put in. That'll give you a starting point. Hopefully Chauncy will come by and give you some up to date info for the current conditions.

Go deep this time of year. I prefer trolling meat on crawler harnesses or drifting with jigs and twister tails/with meat. This is the South end of Pymy. The lines are my trolling passes. The hooks are where I hit Eyes. Some places the hooks stack up/structure..

We have only caught two walleye all summer (one was a keeper) and I think both of them came from "Bing's Red Circle." The Red Circle also just happens to be just down the lake from our allotment, which makes it convenient. :)

Mike .... Sounds like I need to hire either Chauncy or Bings for some lessons, or their "guide service's." Is there anyone who works as a "guide" on Pimie?

Chuckles there is the Espyville Marina which gives quicker access to the shallow north waters, is right at the Causeway and just north of of the red zone.
Smally Hunter's recommendation along with the info provided by Yote and Bings sound like your best bet to get started.
As for Pymie guides, yes there are.

There's also the Orchard Ramp just to the east of "Bing's Red Circle." As of Labor day weekend the Orchard ramp had quite a bit of sand on top of it making launching a bit diffcult, but I was still able to launch my 16 foot Sea Nymph.

I highly doubt those Pymy guides (if there are any ) did much this year on Walleye. Just too many good fishermen struggled all season steady. Musky fishing was fair, Walleye was a total crash.

Capt. there is absolutely guides (maybe self-proclaimed) for Pymie.
Just watch for the "party toons" loaded to capacity with der Amish yah? lol
Seriously though there is one I would recommend, not from experience but from, number of years he has been providing the service.
Be no doubt though, if I were paying for a guide, I'd certainly be talking to Kenny first.

O.K. (Guide for Pymie) Who is Kenny?? Now, let's see. Let's play "20 questions." 1 Is he and older gentleman? 2 Does he frequently post on this NW Pa. board ? 3 Retired ? 4 Could it be Bings ? No/ Maybe He fishes for Steelies. 5 Could it be Chauncy ? No/ Maybe He fishes for Crappies. 6 Could it be Captain Hook ? No? Maybe He fishes for Muskies. 7 Could it be BeenThereDoneThat ? No No He can't catch any thing. (if you believe his post, he can't even catch a cold) Oh, by the way. I've got until next year to figure out who Kenny is? With Irma moving through, we might not get to take my brother-in-law out fishing. Other tips on fall fishing on Pymie is welcome. Later...Chuckles 8 Could he wear a straw hat ?  9
