Well here's my fishing report for the last couple weeks. Fished out of numerous launches ,Tuttle,Manning,Espyville and Snodgrass. Ive caught 7 Keeper walleyes and wife one.a few hammer handles, quite a few nice bluegills and very few crappies.We drift mostly with jigs and crawlers havn't trolled at all.Lots of catfish also.Overall IMHO the fishing is slow,the bluebird skies and hot!!!!! weather has a lot to do with it.I cant take those 90 Degree days at all.I have talked to numerous trollers some have a few some none at all.A couple in my campground said they got 42 keepers so far this year and yesterday he got a 26 incher. Overall to sum it up fishing benn ok but I cant wait for some cooler weather!!!!!! Tight lines to all

old dog yes my favorite thing is sitting around a campfire drinking a few cold ones after a days fishing.Its the heat of the day I cant take anymore now that I'm an oldster!!!!! From what I'm hearing to do better on the walleyes you need to fish a nite. I have enough trouble launching and loading and not falling out of the boat during daylight!!!!! I'll leave that to the young guys I need my beauty sleep!!!!!

Just my luck, yesterday I finished my ' YOU, best get-r-done list' and set plans to hit the lake this morning. Awoke as planned, at 4:30 AM (waaaait for it) poked my head through the window curtains to see what I could see and, I could barely see the spot light shining on the American flag, fifty feet from the house. Man-O-man it was foggy but I wasn't about to let the situation put a damper on my day, so I immediately shifted to plan "B".......

I solved that problem! I took my hand held GPS with me that has that back track feature and tracked my course. After that when the fog was so thick you could barely see the water I'd go to the front of the line and launch my boat with others telling me I was crazy. Once I was on the move and out of sight I'd turn on my GPS and usually get an extra hour or so fishing before anyone else. Just follow the dotted line. But I have to say it's a little spooky fishing in the clouds.

Have to admit haven't been doing much fishing so BTDT has been entertaining me. I did go fishing once with heavy fog at Wilhelm. Launched at launch 3 had a 14' boat couldn't see in front of your face, headed up toward 79 figured I'd jig in a few of the small bays. Anyhow putted along in fear of running into someone took forever to get there .... So I get there put anchor out figured ok Crappie's here I come . About 1 1/2 HR later fogs lifts to my surprise I'm sitting maybe 50 yards from the launch that I left from .... Yepper I was just running in circles ... My son was probably 15 now he will be 40 and he still brings that trip up to all his friend when I'm around ....so yes I have a bigger boat and GPS / finder which I use ....

I did it, yeah I did, I went fishing on the Great Pymie this very afternoon.  However because of the stupid fish, there was no catching......., stupid fish! Oh, I did catch a nice snag (felt like a sunken boat, or sumthin) so if any yinz happen to find a crayfish-colored Hot-N-Tot, keep it, cause the stupid thing can't catch any stupid fish! Even though it was a typical non-catching event for me, the trip was worth making because, I got to say howdy to a lovely couple from the Pittsburgh area. Marcos and his lovely wife were fishing just south of the causeway and it wasn't hard to spot their Lund with that brand new shiny 60 horse hanging off the stern. Ummmm, by the way Marcos, sorry about............ screwing up your trolling.  OOPS! Not likely for me to be fishing Pymie tomorrow buddy, so I'm thinking your luck will increase two fold and yinz will catch a bunch. As for my fishing report........... stupid fish!!!

Did some crappie fishing Saturday and Sunday. Me and my buddy put seventy five fish in the box over those two days. Lots of throwbacks too. Seen numerous guys trolling and only saw one fish caught in our area. A catfish. Good luck searchin for those eyes but if it isn't working, don't hesitate to find some deep brush and catch some good size panfish. Jigs and nibbles put all our fish in the boat.

No fishing till ice for me but my freezer filled up.lol I've got a ton of great generous customers. Last week picked up two bags of Erie eyes, a zucchini bread, homemade deer brats, homemade pork sausage, a jar of pickled beets,and some vacuum packed salmon and halibut from Alaska. I might sell my rods.lol Keep after them boys. 4 1/2 months and I'll be free to do as I please.

They're hooked now.
Here's a pic of the older one from 7 years ago in the same spot. Same hat. Same grin, minus a few teeth. I'd say he's hooked!  He's 12 now and about all he wants to do is fish. Both of em, every day, "Can we go fishing?" We live 1.5 hours from Pymy. It was the youngest ones 1st trip there. It's been a nearly annual trip with the older one since he was 5. When I was a kid, my dad would take me to fish the spillway once a year and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. Funny how when you're young, there's no such thing as a trash fish huh? Those boys just love catching fish of all kinds.

FYI, talked with Dan from the DNR who is the operations manager. Says Linesville reno is going very well. 90% of the breakwall is complete and the docks are assembled. He said the contractor hopes that the good weather continues and they still may open the boat launch by early October!

Opsman, thank you for taking the time to post the update, that sounds like good news. The renovation might be a PITA (for some people) at present but it sure is going to be a tremendous long term improvement, over what was.

Drift fished yesterday afternoon with my wife for a couple hours before the front moved in and caught 2 catfish and one 8 inch bluegill. We fished south of the causeway.
