I too made the trip up. Checked out Conneaut(the OH portion), Walnut, Elk, Trout Run, and Crooked. Only fished Conneaut though..........just walked around and watched at the other places. It was more of a scouting trip than anything. Didn't feel like fishing puddles for fish swimming in circles with the rest of Erie....
Picked up 2 fish on Conny and lost 2 others. Covered a LOT of water. Only a few fish around and they were skittish. Couple of other guys out and about fishin but the creek was empty compared to the PA tribs.
Saw an ok amount(for this time of year) in Walnut at the Manchester hole and the stop sign hole, as well as a good number of fish along the wall. Didn't see anything caught while I was there except for one fish that was lost on the wall.
Not as many fish in Trout Run than I thought but there were a handful. Saw one fish caught along the lake and another guy had 2 on a stringer.
Only checked out Elk at the mouth. Saw one really nice fish jump multiple times, and saw another guy lose a fish. People were lined up from the boat launch down but not much action while I was there. Couple guys in the log jam hole. Nothing at Crooked
I'll throw up a couple pics tomorrow once I get them on my computer. Overall a nice day on the water and it feels good to start the season!!!! Like fishingood said now we just need to continue the rain dances...
