Seems like it has been a long time in coming…but spring weather and the spring bite has arrived in force. Smallmouth in PIB and the Allegheny, walleyes N & S at Pymatuning, crappies popping up all over and trout season opener – all going on strong within the last week or two. Hurry to get in on the great perch fishing at Pymie and PIB! Don’t forget the upcoming PLA open tournaments at Py-mie – Crappie and Walleye – both support habitat funds for the lake. Also, Wiegel Broth-ers Marine is having a big Open House on May 5 & 6. Don’t forget to check out the Gamma Tip page with comments from two Gamma users. And the Report concludes with a Special Trout Opener Page high-lighting one of several special kids events held that day. GO FISH!
