I want to catch a Striper too!!!   
 
 
Seeing the red marks on the mouth, pelvic and anal, fins I gotta wonder if the fish isn't rubbing the rocks trying to rid itself of parasites?
 
Ewwwww..................   fish fleas!     Wash your hands Captain, you might have catched fish fleas!
 

Has anyone ever carp fished by the spillway across the road from it at Pymatuning? I tryed the other day and couldn't seem to get any takers. I figured there would be a high population of fish there. Thank you for any input i dont mean to change the topic here haha

Welcome Tomcat, your not changing the topic at all, this thread is about fishing Pymie.  I trust you are speaking of the Linesville Spillway?
 
As for carp fishing the Lineville Causeway at Pymie, all you need do is bait your hook with a loaf of bread.  Also, casting "Schwebel" lures tend to produce well at times or, try a jig baited with a wrapper tie under a inflated bread bag bobber when finesse fishing is required.
 
Keep this under your hat, a well kept secrete about finding the fish, look for the birds.  Where you see flocks of birds walking on the fish tends to be a good place to try.
 
Good luck with your fishing and don't be a stranger.

  Helloooooooooo.....  Walcat      Mahhhhh  haaa ha ha ha haaaa........  boo     

Captain, that spot looks familiar?  Haha but you don't have to worry about me stealing your spot-since it's about an 82 mile trip for me to get there.  But I enjoy a road trip up once or twice a year.  I like drowning bait under a float, because you don't know what you might get into.  Oh and the snags can be pretty bad.  I set my slip float to about 3 feet, that seems to work well.
 
When I was there about 2 weeks ago-I caught 10 small bass, 3 walleye [12-16in], 2 trout, and a catfish.  Didn't get pictures of all my catches, because it's a bit tricky when standing waist deep in freezing water all by yourself. But here were a few of my catches.  

And oh yeah, not Shenango or Pymie- but if you migrate south a bit you might bump into some of these guys!  Haven't been finding great numbers, but some decent ones are getting hungry on the lower sections of the Allegheny River.  If you look closely in the last pic, you can see a 43in musky- a guy caught while fishing 100 ft below me.
 

Tomcat , I'm not positive but I think those Carp kind of scatter as the weather gets colder they are not as thick in numbers as Summer time. I know mid Summer they are packed all around the outflow of the bowl and provide plenty of action. Ducks like to mess with you too while fishing there, anything that floats they are on it too!
 
 Lovgren69 nice pics , those Walleye look good and solid for their size ! Always nice to fish water that has a good mix of fish like Shenango and the Allegheny . Shenango is right in our backyard but the river took a real drop in Walleye since the stocking of fry stopped a few years back. Smallmouth still are plentiful but not many in the larger category. I miss fishing the Allegheny River we use to fish the Kennedale area, and the area near the Village of Pearl. Soft shelled crabs was the choice back in the 70's when we fished it. 
 
    We would go out the night before and hit the small creeks near our house and pick crabs. Always looked for the lighter ones they were usually the softest, just like butter ! Put them in moss and into the fridge till morning, then off to the Allegheny at daylight. Lots of Smallmouth, Catfish , Carp , and even a Pike once in awhile. I don't think there is a fish that won't take a soft shelled crab ! We never got too many Eyes but most trips we usually ran out of bait ! Great pics of your area keep em coming !

Ice Nut - Thanks for the tip.  Winterized my boat last night, took my wife up to pymy this afternoon and in a  couple hours caught a pile of these beautiful slabsand nice perch.   Better than fishing from the boat - LOL!  Now that I caught fish, I might have to go one more time.  Crappies are biting.  

I don't know...... seems like when your wife goes along she catches fish ! When you go with your buddies you get skunked  ???? I'm seeing a pattern here ............LOL
