Fishing / Regulations specific to Pymatuning Lake

Either an Ohio or Pennsylvania fishing license may be used when fishing from a boat; however, a Pennsylvania fishing license is required to take fish, frogs, or turtles from the shore of the Pennsylvania side or from any island. Walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and muskellunge cannot be filleted before the angler has completed fishing. Fish may be taken only by angling, except carp and suckers may be taken with longbow and arrow or spears. Special regulations apply to frogs, turtles, tadpoles, minnows, and ice fishing – see the Pennsylvania regulations for specific information.

Species Daily Limit Minimum Size
Walleye 6 15 inches
Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass 5 (singly or in combination ) 12 inches
