Great job[emoji476][emoji476]planning on end of week to hit the water. I wondered when they would pull the docks. See water level still the same?

Yes, the water is below 3 1/2 ft at Shenango. Pymy is also down a good bit. Boaters beware.
To try and help on lodging, we would need to know which lake, a person would want to fish at.
Guys, if I’m heading to the western part of the state what lake or lakes would you recommend? Is shenango the top lake out there? Seems I hear about that the most
Shenango and Pymatuning are both good. If you are coming over, and like to camp, Shenango is the cheapest place for it. If your a senior citizen, you can get a card, that you pay for, thru the Corp that makes the rates even cheaper.
The lake has risen to full pool last week but they’re bringing it down pretty quickly. From last report, it’s down over a foot already with all seven gates open. Should be some good fishing below the dam right now. Sadly there’s still a consumption warning in the river.
I fished 2 of lake Erie tribs this weekend. About 4 hours fishing in two days and caught one fresh steelhead. Saturday was above freezing and I tried lower Walnut. Only a few fish except for the Manchester hole and a hand full in the shutes above it. No takes or even chases with my streamers and buggers. Sunday I fished Elk in the area of Folleys. It was 28 deg. with guides freezing but I managed one fresh fish about 6 or 7 lbs. There was slush in some area of non moving water and it was a little too cold for this 68 yr old man. I promised a friend a steelhead for Christmas so I was determined to keep my promise. Lucas from Folleys and I fished for about 2 hours. He slipped off a rock and took on some water over his chest waders. About 5 minutes later he was done fishing . Still a very pleasant experience and I did not need to worry about the fish spoiling.
If anyone is going try to find a day or two of warmer weather. The fish were very sluggish and a few degrees can make a big difference especially when the sun is shinning.
