Are all the launching docks in ?
What about the public dock by Linesville marina ? 
Are the gates open on Fries Road and  at the camping site ?

Sounds like the fishing season has begun.

Just a friendly reminder!! Snagged fish must be released. Seen a lot of guys snaggin walleyes under the chain at the spillway on sonars, go right on the stringer.

Let the snagging begin....
 
Hooked under the jaw counts right ?????

Its that chain that seperates the lawful vrs. unlawful area to fish on the side where you see guys crowding to fish for the carp in the summer months.

Whats the chain by the causeway?

Looking to get into some fish, would it be to early to hit Pymie? Looking for crappie and eyes. Don't really want to waste the gas if its early and not looking to snag 20 eyes and keep my limit just want to enjoy the day.

Im considering renting a boat this weekend and trying for crappies and/or eyes. Ive fished pymy some from kayak and shore in late April and early May and have had moderate success in the past.
 
I feel that that water is still on the cool side right now ( just a guess), and the southern end of the lake's deeper humps would be my best bet. As opposed to trying Tuttle and the northern stumps...
 
Any comments or advice?
I would not have electronics on the boat, but im pretty good with a smartphone and some mapping apps i have...

Anybody know if there is any work going on down by the Weir in Jamestown ?  Someone told me there was some repair work going on by the dam area.

shhhh they are starting to bite ;)

Well I chickened out again. The wind was strong down here so I figured it would be really bad on the lake. I only have a 16 footer and it doesn't take big waves very well. Good luck to all who fish today and be careful. Pymie can get dangerous.

42 yesterday on north end

Most of the lake is upper 30's. Management lake was low 40's which would make the spillway slightly more than the rest of the lake. Jamestown was slightly higheras of last week but I haven't been down there to check in the last few day.

Had the boat out Friday evening and nothing fished from 4 till dark at the causeway (buddies wanted to jig only)... Weather is starting to get nice and should raise water temps quickly especially if we get the mid to upper 50's low 60's and raid like they're saying.

Fished Sat and sun nights Caught 1 legal and had 3 bumps. Noticed a lot of gizzard shad this year but dont remember seeing one last year. Also had a smaller eye swim between my legs last night lol

I'm reminded of a situation many probably have encountered. If you snag a fish and it's highly likely that it will die soon as a result of the snagging, do you do the "right" thing [legally] and release it or the right thing [morally] and keep it for consumption? It's just a thought.

No doubt, it depends on who is lookin'...
