ST. MARYS — A mild winter so far this season has resulted in better-than-normal fishing at Grand Lake St. Marys.
“The fishing has been really good both in the lake and below the spillway,” Grand Lake St. Marys Park Manager Brian Miller told The Evening Leader. “In the lake have been crappie and blue gill and below the spillway, people are catching crappie and walleye. We are seeing very good numbers in both areas.”
