See what happens when you explore new waters! Congrats

Nice....lots of Pike still in Shenango over the years.

fished the golden run area yesterday. caught over fifty crappies with most being just under 9". threw all of them back but it was fun catching them. theres an amazing number of fish in this lake. if you like eating your fish with bones in them, these fish are the perfect size.

Says the guy who brags about how fast he limits out

On another Shenango Lake topic.... I watched several kayakers paddling across the middle of the lake the other day. Low profile as they are and small, all I can say is they are taking a serious  chance on a no limit horsepower lake. This would be my last choice in such a small craft especially out in the middle. There are some powerful boats running that lake at a high rate of speed. The wakes are bad enough off of these bigger boats but the speed they are moving won't give either much time for correction. Just a heads up !  

We had kayaks come within 3 ft of our boat at Wilhelm last year while bass fishing. Lady smiled and said good morning... I was tempted to flip my jig at her head

Woodnickle the kayak is gonna sting but that yellow rope is gonna, leave a mark. lol

Nice picture and congrats on your catch.

Lake is 3.3 feet above normal summer pool. Sluice gates 1-7 open 1 foot. Water temp. 64 degrees.

Golden Run access road, Clark boat launch and the swim beach are closed.

Ken I hear what your saying. As of this time yesterday Golden Run Access and the swim beach are now open with the Clark launch remaining closed.

Lake level still 2 ft. above normal summer pool with all seven sluice gates flowing.

Weather dudes calling for "possible" severe thunderstorms with strong winds today to the north, of Shenango Lake up through and including Pymatuning.


Reminds me of a song.... https://youtu.be/TJUdwum5jAY

Chauncy thanks for the heads-up. I was thinkin I could maybe get out of the wind somewhere on Shenango tomorrow. Sounds like I should think elsewhere.

Thanks Chauncy, I see by thier Facebook page the lake level has returned to normal summer pool.

Weather looking good next few days with temps heading into upper eighties.

Gonna be a lotta activity on Shenango me thinks.

Wilhelm and Pymatuning here I come.

Anybody spending time chasing fish on this lake lately? Or has the jetskis and speed boats chased you away?

Chauncy I been watching the water level, giving it some time to settle down before giving Shenango a try. Looks like I might be watching it for a while longer after today.

Drove over the causeway this past weekend and at that time I thought there was a regatta taking place on Shenango. I ain't seen that much boat traffic on the water since the last time I visited Christmas in July. Did somebody change the date this year and maybe forgot to, send me a memo?

Lake level at 1.58' over norm with gates 1 - 7 open to 1.5 ft each.

Clark boat launch is closed as of this morning.


Anybody partake in the Frisbie flinging this past weekend? I forgot, I went to a steam engine show muup north. Awesome machines.

Don't forget "Christmas in July" at the marina this coming Saturday. Don't know if its still done but, folks use to decorate thier boat for the festivities.

Last but not least, if visiting the park, keep an eye open for Bobber.

Tight lines and good times.
