Have them do like they do in the Maumee river in the spring. Go to single hooks on their lures and see how their "catching" goes then. Hard to snag them with a single hooks!

Single hook thing wont work...they do that up on Salmon River NY and people just adjusted to it SNAGGING is still common.

BeenThereDoneThat.
There are rumors, perhaps a few more calls to the PUFBC will encourage the idea. Than again those fishing the "circus" may well be calling, to discourage the idea.

Also I would think the suppliers of Walleye fry, for stocking, would be saddened to hear a greater possibility of natural reproduction might be on the horizon .

Way too many carp in the AREA for the natural reproduction thingy to be on the menu 
The Crappie/Perch bite was very good for us last week.

 There was a guy telling his buddy about the 68 walleye he caught at the spillway. He would catch his limit ....take them home...then go back at midnight and catch another limit. So the mysterious walleye that elude me really just aren,t there. I would like to see no fishing allowed on that wall.....just crazy with the amount of fish pulled from there. Any thoughts? 

I agree 100 % ! It's a joke what goes on there by most people fishing there. I won't even call them fishermen ! Anybody that fishes there and tells me they caught fish legally there I'm not one to believe them. I have never fished there,(and never will ) but have watched from the top guard rail and it's pitiful to say the least ! Sonar snagging , and lifting is all I seen. Can't believe the Pa. Fish Commission is that STUPID to allow that to carry on this long! They cut Walleye stocking all across our area lakes then allow this fiasco to go on !
 
I can't imagine what takes place at night when all the fish cops are home sleeping.
I agree FF put a single hook on and see what they catch ? Nada !!!!
 
I've wrote the Fish Commission and signed my name several years now and not a peep from them. Policing that area has done nothing, they need to section it out during spawning season and post it No Fishing to breaker wall. Simple solution to a major snag zone .

I also agree with you Captain and y'all ...I have always said this is BS ...Have never fished that way and never plan to. Probably not the fisherman that some of you guys are but anyhow sounds like at least we all do it the right way. I usually don't hit the water until right around now but I would rather go out ,boat around, drifting and trolling if I have a good day this is great if not well always tomorrow , I can at least say I tried it the right way .... good luck to y'all , my deer hot sticks and bologna is almost gone so need to put some Crappie and walleye in the freezer 😜👍🍺

Shut it down til mid May and bring back the 10hp  restriction...sorry, I'm a purist, lol

Here is my thought on the 10 hp , motor A lot of 20 hp motors have 9.9 hp stickers on them and a lot of 25 + hp motors have 20 hp or less. Stickers on them they need to ck ser # on some ck some of the lakes. .....The PFC will get a lot of money just saying...

Man!! guys!! Come on let's get out and fish. And enjoy no matter what we catch isn't that what's it about anyway. All this doom and gloom.
Can't catch any fish , this guy is snagging, this guy has to big of motor. Anyone and I mean anyone that has fished pym for yrs knows it goes in cycles. Good yrs and bad yrs but keep after them and even in the off yrs you will end up with a few. I fished the lake for about 40 yrs and have only missed 1 trip to the lake in all that time. I spend about a month 1/2 every year on the water.

Things will get better trust me put the time in and the fish will come it's been a slow start seen it before many times .
Tight lines to all.

  I have never fished the wall and never intend to it just isn't my idea of an enjoyable outing. I have stood above and observed and have seen few caught and they were legit catches. I ice fish with sonars-vib's- cicadas, and have yet to snag an eye with them and when they are aggressive they will have those things clear down their throats. I know it sounds impossible but they are effective lures. Sometimes I cast them and retrieve them and take eyes. However I watched a boat nearby one evening take a three man limit of 18 and most were snagged. They would drop to the bottom let it set for second or two then snatch it up quite fast. I think the eyes would come real close to see what just dropped on bottom then get hooked on the up snap. In the same time period my brother and I fair hooked three.
  I would have said something to them but one was a 10-12 year old and I  didn't want to shame the Father in front of the boy. I am soft that way and deserve a tong lashing for not putting an end to it but the lad didn't know any better and was having a ball. To bad he had cheating teacher. Trouble is he is probably grown up and teaching others the trick.

 
 
 
Had some luck the other day,  could have limited out except, for the ones that got away  ............  Just can't say where cause yinz know I don't 'spot burn' 
 
No eggs in any of the fish.
