Report: I would like some information on
smallmouth fishing in the fall. Do they group up in
the Lake and/or come into the Bay like they do in
the spring? When is the best time or conditions to
plan a weekend? Do the same methods work in the
fall as in the spring? Any information would be
greatly appreciated!!

Date Fished: Thursday, August 26
Type of Report: Stream
Report: An inspection of Trout Run at its
mouth on Thursday evening, August 26, found no
steelhead in the creek and no one fishing the lake
there, even though it was calm. Trout Run is very
low.
There were probably 10 people fishing along the
wall at the mouth of Walnut. I saw no action the
short time I was there, but I did see a two small,
probably jack steelhead or coho in the low water
there.
Despite more rain today, Walnut is still very low.
In what was the shallow area in the middle of the
creek just downstream from the Manchester hole and
just upstream from the first bridge, it is now bone
dry and grass is growing.

Date Fished: August 7-14th
Type of Report: Lake
Report: Fished for a week...
Numerous things to communicate...
First, The PA/OH line (Aug 7th)- lots of
baitfish/big eyes. Fished middle of second trench
and worked north.. Big Dipsies & Riggers -
Colors seemed to be BL/Purple,Fire
Tiger,Copper/Pink.. Set lines back 225 of riggers
and set them up off bottom 10-15 ft. Dipsies(big) 2
setting- 185 back.
Fished most my days off the pt./launched from
Lampe. Fishing was spotty... Fished the 888-890
line and 430-470 (loran), or what I use a GPS
42.14.50&80.11.00....
Dipsies worked best.. (big) 2 setting 150 & 175
back.. Smalls 2 setting 225 back..
Riggers caught big fish.. same deal 225 back and
between 10-15 ft. from bottom.Same colors as other
days, watermelon was on/off.. I think they are
seeing too much of it.. experiment.. I did - You
will be suprised!!
Fished total of 6/8 days (2 blowoffs) avg. 8 fish a
day... (2-4 guys)
If I was going back up, I would try off Walnut
between 7-9 miles out(355 bearing)...just a
hunch...
Anybody interested in more details, please email..

with crawler harnesses is the ticket. By the way I

Caught 2 crappie weighing about 1 to 1 1/2 pound on

rest of crappie were mainly average size caught
mostly on tiny curly tail grub. Also caught a
little white bass (man did he fight for his
size!)First white bass I have heard caught in this

as walleyes, steelhead, and smallmouth. Good
