Lake Erie
Yellow Perch have been a bit fussy this year so far. Some days you’ll get good numbers and some days you’ll be bored out of your mind. There are two places right now that anglers are targeting the Yellow Perch. Anglers seem to be having the best luck out from Gull Point in 50 Ft of water and off Trout Run. Another option is to just look for the pack of boats aka “the Perch pack”.

Susquehanna River
Levels were a little high over the opening weekend of bass season, but there were some anglers who still having success. With heavy rains in New York State, the river rose another three feet this week.
With the Susquehanna’s current conditions, make sure to fish area lakes. Lake Winola has been fishing well for Smallmouth Bass and trout. Most of the lakes have had great fishing, as typical of early summer conditions. Successful anglers have been fishing early in the day and in the evening to avoid slower conditions in the heat of the day. If you are fishing during the day, fish in shaded areas where the water is slightly cooler and out of the direct sunlight.

Pine Creek
ler nymph patterns are still working throughout the day; but the streamers are working best during the early morning hours.
Pine Creek had variable conditions due to showers in the watershed over the past week. Water was higher and off color with upstream showers, which slowed fishing, but extended favorable temperatures for trout. Evening fishing with emergers and light cahill dries was good when water levels were near normal and temperatures were less than 68°F. Use your thermometer! For warmer temperatures, early morning fishing is advised.
Slate and Cedar Run
Slate and Cedar Run fished acceptably well with low and clear conditions. Anglers observed a rattlesnake beside Slate Run, so walk carefully!
