Pymatuning Reservoir, Pennsylvania’s largest inland lake, is located in Crawford County (PA) and Ashtabula County (OH). The reservoir is located in Pymatuning State Park, the Commonwealth’s largest state park. The DCNR feature page for Pymatuning State Park is an excellent resource for visitors (http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/pymatuning.aspx). Anglers are urged to carefully review the PFBC special regulations that apply specifically to Pymatuning Reservoir. Area 1 Fisheries Management personnel performed an annual spring trapnet survey of Pymatuning Reservoir from March 14th through March 28th, 2012. The primary goal of the survey was to sample the reservoir’s walleye, muskellunge and panfish populations and to evaluate the success of stocking programs. A total of 56 overnight sets, encompassing 1293.17 hours of effort yielded a catch of 7,751 fish representing 29 species (Tables 1 and 2). Table 1.
