I remember family coming back from there in the mid 90's with 5 full coolers packed to the top with perch.. (I know environmental factors play a huge role of fish population, but I don't think that helps- took the perch years to recuperate size and numbers).. When you have excellent fishing for a species, I feel like conservation and protecting the species is important.. I enjoy my yearly trips to pymatuming and catching a few fish, if i was not for catching a few I wouldn't go there.
I would like to see a 25 fish limit put on the lake. Size doesn't matter as we don't want only small fish there. Over population could probably take place there if all the biggest fish are taken and only leaving the littler ones to spawn. This lake has been producing great numbers of crappies as long as I can remember and I've been fishing it since the 60's. Can still go up and catch 50 a day from May to January when I find them. But like I stated, 25 per person per day, is a good limit.
