Hi Everyone,

I will be heading to Pine Coulee Reservoir on Friday, I was wondering if you guys could share with me a couple tips for fishing there. Thanks in advance

Bottom bouncer with a worm. Should get a few walleye or pike

How is the walleye fishing from shore? Been a few years since. Have been down there. Was thinking of taking my kids tomorrow.

What walleye? I've been a few times in the last couple years and it seems to be void of walleye now they let people keep them. I'm sure there are probably some roaming around somewhere in there but they eluded me.

Don't forget it is now a stocked trout lake and walleyes are whatever is leftover and hasn't been caught or died from old age.

I caught several small maybe one yr old walleye last week. Was very happy to see them as it tells me they are still re-producing. Also had no issues with the 2 of us catching our limits of walleye. You just have to get out and find them, they are not schooled up so get the bottom bouncers out and go for it. They have not gone anywhere and the small amount of trout they released in the fall on 17 are not growing or being caught by anyone I know.

The problem with this lake just like McGregor and cvr and travers is that the fish are not growing in these waters. 10 years ago these lakes you could catch 5 to 8 pounders. They are still there but vary few. These fisheries should have gone to a slot size so the reprocessing fish would stay in the lake. All the walleye lakes close to big citys need to be watched closer fishing pressure and poaching along with no slot size killed these lakes. We are now seeing it with the pike population in these same lakes. Catching good size walley or pike has become a thing of the past.

I've been going there for 10 years and I find it getting a bit better. I think they've got some good patrols going out at night catching poachers.
