    When is spot burning okay? If there are that many you shouldn't have a problem catching them. Alot of people spend time out learning and finding spots why should someone just up and tell you go here or there. Sometimes you need to just get out and do some searching on your own.

    That is exactly why I made that comment. It is pretty rude for people to say I know there are alot of fish in the lake but where exactly do you catch them. Some people just need to get out and fish. When you try hard enough you will find the fish. I drive lil over an hour to get to the lake no way I would never spot burn on spots that buddies and I fish. We try to get away from the crowds not get in the middle of them.

    At Pymie, the northern stump field would be a great place to start. But not quite yet. After next week's warmer weather, I would say they would be in pre-spawn mode. Water is still a little cold yet.

    1MOFISH,

    Go to Walmart and get yourself a map of pymy and start from there. It'll show you where the cribs are located at and tips of how to catch them. Coldfront is right, you can catch them anywhere around that lake. Not only are there a lot of them, but they are huge. Also, look for places on the map where the water suddenly drops and forms deep pockets. You'll find them there as well.

    Slap my hands, but I will spot burn here just a little bit. If you don't care about the size of them and you want to catch a lot of small ones, try the river below the outlet. It's no secret!!!

    Good evening Gents.

    I have been fishing the lake since I was a kid and am now 45 . By no means am I a exepert but it doesn't take a genius to find the eyes or the crappies. Just follow the straw hats .

    It will be starting soon and there are no more secret spots. The lake is fish hard and has always been .

    Good luck to all , and tight lines gentlemen. Fish safe.

    Pymy may lead the way as the best quality crappie lake there is,some years 12 inch plus fish are the norm,and there healty fat fish.They can be caught around brush piles,fish houses,bridges,spillway,linesville stumps and a lot of other spots and times of year.Last winter we got a lot of fish 12 -14 inches Jamestown.I'm not going to spot burn because its not right to give a spot away that came hard and years to others. 1Mofish you got any killer bucks spots that you'd like to share? I think you get the point.As SmMouthSeeker said the out flow down stream theres a small ditch on the left that meets the river tons of 7-9 inch crappies.

    spot burning is unethical. me and two buddies started to fish pymy last year. we bought a lake map off the internet for 12 bucks. sure we keep our eyes open while up ther but we refuse to crowd people.btw we havent gotten skunked yet.

    i'm sorry for the open can of worms? i live in pittsburgh and pymy is a long way away how bad would it hurt to help guys who just cant afford to get to know the lake? the most i would fish would be half a dozen times? i have a map know how to read it saw alot of promising spots paden creek bay was one.my home lake is moraine could put you into dozens of spots but the eyes just are too few to target.thank you for the info it is appreciated

    The best is when a couple guys a few hundred yards away see you pull up a few fish and then fire up their motor and come running full speed towards you and kill the bite. I try to stay away from the groupings of boats.

    i hear ya the fish are stacked up at the pond the creek mouths are packed the problem isnt the fish its population with a limited resource? questions? What are they biting on? When are they hitting? Guys leaving the lake would be cutting their lures off just so you wouldn't see what they caught the fish on. You'd see guys out in the first ditch, the radio fires up, where are they hitting? Silence, SHhhhhhhh!! Oh well!

    Guys will have their "honeyholes", on any lake, and one shouldn't ask, or expect them to givemup. That said. If you "have a map, and know how to read it", then you have all the info you really need. Crappie, Eyes, whatever behave the same in Pymie, as Arthur or any other inland lake. Read yor map. Look for the same cover, depth, or structure that you would fish your home lake at that time of year, and water temerature. Bingo, there they'll be.

    "Honey holes" are nothing but unmarked blowdowns, or structure. To be shared only with the coolest of the cool.

    Seriously? You won't even help another angler out by telling him/her what you're using or color?
    If that seriously is true I'd offer one word for you.....karma.

    When I'm coming in from the dock and they ask....."What ya catch them on " I show them a jig and grubbies. It's rewarding when you offer ( and they take) some of your catch, especially when their using a big glob of worms on a #2 hook with a bobber big enough to choke a horse.

    You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

    A blind man could fish pymatuning in april and may and catch fish!!!!!!There's not many secrets drift aroung stumps and back in bays and coves with bobbers and fatheads and most days its impossible not to catch fish!!!!!!!!even with giant bobbers and glob of nitecrawlers.Keep things near bottom gets lots of snags and you will catch fish!!!!!!!! not many secret spots at least not that many that arn't covered with straw hats and the spanish armarda!

    It's 90% about how you ask, and 10% what you ask.

    You just ask someone, "Where exactly are you catching all those crappie/trout/steelhead/etc?" and they're well within their rights to refuse to answer or outright lie.

    You ask someone what to look for, what prime conditions are, or rough areas (say...not more specific than 1/4 of the water in question), and while they're still within their rights not to answer, doing so (or worse, steering you in the wrong direction) reeks of someone who's insecure (or...of course...blowing smoke about how much they catch).
