Grease those reels! Spool on fresh GAMMA Line! Spring is about to break loose! The Allegheny River and French Creek will be the first waterways to be ice free. Inland lakes will be a little slower to completely loose ice. I’m guessing we might be able to launch boats at ramps on Pymatuning sometime during the first week of April…fingers crossed.
So if you have not entered Darl’s First Fish After Ice-Out Contest, do it today. Go to www.BlackwolfeCommunications.com, read the content on “Smallmouth Quest” and “Crappie Quest” pages for possible clues, then go to the “Contact Us” page and fill out the required fields. In the body of the email message include your name and your guess in inches to the nearest ¼-inch the length of Darl’s First Smallmouth and Darl’s First Crappie of 2015 caught from waters in any of the four NW PA counties covered by the Fishing Report. Include a tiebreaker by guessing the lure Darl will be using when he catches the first Smallmouth Bass and First Crappie.
Only guesses coming from the website email are valid. Contest ends when Darl catches his first Smallmouth Bass and First Crappie. A random drawing from among all correct guesses will determine the winner for each species. Crappie winner receives a packet of crappie baits and Smallmouth Bass winner receives packet of bass baits, as pictured on this page.
