This may be a bit off topic, but looking back at trapnet figures from 2010 up, Shenango just may become the "dead sea" in a few years. Right now, it seems the crappie numbers are pretty good, but it just ain't a place to be targeted for Musky, Northerns, or Walleyes. I think the PFBC would rather it be noted as a trophy catfish lake. I've been reading what other states do when they start gettin' lower trapnet numbers besides stocking; notably Minnesota and Wisconsin. Minnesota's slot limits are the exact opposite of the Pa's. For their crappie and bluegills, they want the largest ones released, and here, like on Pymie, you can only keep a 9" crappie and up, so, there goes the better breeding stock. We may soon end up with lots of stunted fish. Not good for the average angler, but won't make any difference to the "straw hatters", who grind every fish they catch. I think we need less college educated fishery biologists and we need to replace them with some "common sense" administrators. If you practice "selective harvest", you're doing the best you can to sustain the fishery. That's just common sense. I rarely keep any fish I catch, but on occasion will harvest a few walleyes for table fare. My boys and I have our own "slot limit", no matter where we fish. 15" to 17" walleyes max. Everything else goes back. You can get a decent fillet from a 16" fish, so no reason to be a hog.
