I heard about the shad to hopefully them marble eyes have an appetite! Won't be long couple more weeks to find out if the waders leak!

Southern walleyes prefer spawning temperatures between 48°F and 50°F, while their Yankee cousins and Canadian counterparts favor temperatures between 44°F and 48°F. In the extreme Far North, if those ideal conditions don't arrive early enough, walleyes absorb their eggs and forego spawning. ~ www.in-fisherman.com/walleye/understanding-spring-walleye-migrations/
 
 
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, the walleye are, or soon will be, in a pre-spawn feeding frenzy.  In a couple of weeks it may be all over, except for the shoutin'......  at me for spot burning so please, keep this information a secrete.

As long as I can catch a freaking walleye this year I'll be happy last year straight up sucked probably another week I'll be out wasting time casting way to early again as every other year

Panfish were extremely active first thing this morning until the wind pushed me out. Brought home another decent batch for the fryer. Mostly bull gills today. There is definitly a lot of dead shad floating around and on the shoreline. I hear you guys on hoping the eye fishing is better this spring. Might get anxious and give it a shot some evening this week. Good luck!

Crappie, you still wading?  Anyone check out the north end recently?  Wondering if Linesville and the bays are still iced up?  Might be time to get the boat ready...

Its all open

Im with old dog. Probably mid march to late march for the start mid to late may ill turn up the heat unless we get some screwy weather. 2012 it was march 31 when i really started getting them. 2014, 2015 both were 2nd week of april.

When do the crappie typically start spawning or turning on in the spring? Is the north or south end better? I'm fairly new to Pymatuning, I've fished it in the past but just started fishing it last year regularly. I see a lot of good info and experience on this forum, any feedback would be very helpful.

I was up Pmy,this past Sunday The Linesville launch was all open and a trailer was in the parking lot.There was no ice in sight toward the spillway or towards Tuttle and the causeway. 

Wife and I fished the docks at Jamestown and then up at Linesville no ice anywhere small perch were hitting there was 7 boats out today at Linesville.There are dead shad all over the banks everywhere now maybe the walleye will be hungry this year.
