Fished sat from 7 to 7, caught around 40 walleye between my buddy and myself with only 7 keepers. Good to see the numbers but couldn't locate any big females. Caught a some nice perch and crappie too, kept a few of the bigger ones. Water down a little, temp 65.

I fished Pymatuning on thursday, May 19th.  I fished the North end and mostly trolled. Due to the high water you can troll in places normally too shallow.  The water temp was in the low 60s.  I found walleyes, largemouth and crappies in 9 ft. of  water and concentrated trolling in that depth.  There are many walleyes shorter than 15 inches.
 
It was cold and raining daily last week, the first nice day was thursday.  I would not be surprised to see the water temp rise and the fish go deeper.
 
If you are using a boat boots are necessary as the water level is over the ramp in most cases.

found the crappie in the same spot as last week. lots of big slabs and a few decent sized perch. We caught around 50 crappie only 10 were less than 9 inches, 4 eyes all shorties and i think 5 perch

How were the boat ramps today..still flooded? Going up tomorrow to bake in the sun and see if there are any walleye hitting after todays tourney.. Anyone do any good in it?

I fished the south end with about a 100 amishmen. Haven't seen that kinda pressure on Pymy in 15 years. Will have to wear my staw hat next time.

Caught over 20 eyes with only 3 good keepers.

I found fishing great again today at pymatuning, launched at manning went straight across to ohio side my wife and I hammered the slabs and also nice perch she caught only 5 walleye today all 14.5 inches. Bings if you thing the amish were bad where you where you shouls have seen the 200 or so were we were.!!!!!!! Whos farming and making furniture they were all fishing today!!!!!!!!!!!!!Straw hats and blue denim shirts were the uniform of the day!!!!!!! Many Many boats out!!!!!!!!!!!
