Pine coulee ice fishing

[Mull14]

Hi im heading out to Pcr this weekend and was just wondering if anyone has any tips or good locations for Pcr. Thanks

Right side of the bridge, when you're driving down it, worked well for me in the summer. Have yet to ice fish it though. Good luck

Anyone have an ice thickness report from within a week?

[pinelakeperch]

I've heard it's super difficult to ice fish and that the hotspots in the summer are dead in the winter. Not sure about ice thickness.

The ice is about 18' thick with an inch of flood water. Very slippery.
I caught nothing on Saturday from 5:30 am to 11:00.

Pine coulee is a very difficult place to fish in hard water season. I had a shack on it 2 years ago all season and the fish are constantly on the move, if you find them it can be great but that rarely happens.

In my opinion there are better places within 20 to 30 minutes from PCR.

I would not trust the ice anywhere near the bridge. IMO

My friend owns a drilling company, I borrowed one of his rigs.
