Pike in Pine Coulee

I keep hearing of pike in PCR,I fish there all the time and have never seen any,is there any truth to pike being in there? :confused:

You bet there are pike in there. Caught a few of the dock in the summer and lost a nice one on the south end. Was fishing for walleye when it hit, played em for about 5 minutes when it took off and snapped my 12lb test.

They are in PCR for sure. I caught a 30 inch pike through the ice about a month a go while fishing for burbot.

I have caught lots of pike in PCR. I have never caught one on a pickerel rig though and that is how most people fish from shore in there. I tend to fish them when I am using yellow jigheads with yellow tails.

PCR Pike caught last year. We caught about 5 of them that day all about the same size.

Pulled a 15 pounder out of there this summer. I let him go. I hope he gets bigger :)

Gave the reservoir a try today( man was that a cold breeze early), only managed one fish all day (about 8 hours) Tried everything from smelts on down and just the one guy. Fitting enough was a nice little pike on a pickerel rig. Had a lot of action on the flasher but could not for the live of me convince the buggers to take a bite Will have to give it a shot next week and hope for better results.

Have seen them come up and grab Eyes right off the hooks when fishing off the dock. That is a common thing down there
