Fish5k... you are missing their sarcasm. They are basically saying that the more people who buy into the nonsense that pymie has no fish and go somewhere else the better.
FWIW I've heard people say there were no fish in Arthur many times over the years. They were wrong of course. I'm not sure how many people realize that these "close" lakes are completely different. For instance if you are used to fishing the weedbeds in summer in Arthur and go to Shenango to try the same technique you will soon find out that there aren't any weedbeds there to fish. At least not comparable to Arthur. Each lake is different, and you need to put some effort into how that affects your fishing if you want to succeed.
I am determined to hit up pymie this year... but that whole driving an hour plus after I pass Arthur really bothers me. I'm not good enough / persistent enough to wrangle walleyes from Arthur but I think I could probably catch a couple at pymie. SIGH.
Thank you Flying Fish and Zelie Sam re: informing people Pyme being a dead lake for the purpose of them going somewhere else to fish. Many years ago [ and to this day] I have 6 friends that say the same thing about Pyme and it always cracked me up. I did miss the intended sarcasm and it's primarily my fault as I tend to think in a very linear fashion, taking the meaning of something exactly as it's written/spoken. I don't always miss the point, but probably more often than not.
You're also very correct about lakes close in proximity having very different timetables. One must be aware of the waters they fish in or intend to fish.
