Reeling in the Big One.
Whether you prefer catfish, bass, walleye or something else, anglers of all skill levels will find the waters in Trumbull County challenging. Here you'll find a number of waterways where the catches are plentiful.
The Grand River
This waterway stretches south of Ashtabula County through the northwestern corner of Trumbull County before it heads into Geauga County. Here spring offers good fishing for walleyes and suckers while carp and most panfish are plentiful throughout the season.
Those who prefer to fish the many ponds located in the Grand River Wildlife Area will find major species such as panfish, bass and pickerel.
Mosquito Creek
This creek runs south from Ashtabula County through northern Trumbull County into Mosquito Lake. At the lower end of the lake, south of the dam, this waterway continues through Bazetta and Howland Townships before it runs through the city of Niles and joins with the Mahoning River in Weathersfield Township. Largemouth bass, northern pike, walleye, bluegills, bullheads, crappies, channel fish and white bass can be found here.
Mosquito Lake
Fishing this 7,850 acre lake is popular year-round. With more than 40-miles of shoreline and five launch areas, anglers can cast a line for plentiful catches of walleye, bass, northern pike, crappies and catfish. During the cold winter months, ice fisherman dot the frozen lake while ice skaters glide along the smooth surface.
Maximum boat speed on the lake is six miles per hour except in the ski and speed zone where 25 miles an hour is permitted. Trot or float lines may be used between the causeway and the refuge area at the northern end of the lake.

Pymatuning Creek
This waterway begins south of Kinsman and runs southeast through the Shenango Wildlife Area into Orangeville before it crosses into Pennsylvania. It is populated by largemouth bass, white crappies, sunfish, bullheads, carp and suckers. Spring is the best time to fish here with both live and artificial baits working effectively. The best bass fishing has been by canoe and casting lures.
