Fishing PCR

[Little Valy]

My better half and I are going to PCR this weekend for the first time and I was wondering what is the best method and bait,lure etc..for walleyes in this lake.Thanks in advance.

piece of smelt on a quarter ounce or so jighead. and when it gets dark a whole smelt on a glowhead jig for eyes and burbot too. jig it slowly or just leave it on the bottom

What depth of water am I looking for and does color of jighead matter.Never fished(targeted)walleye through the ice.

I was out last weekend and caught one ling and one walleye.Both were caught with a smelt on a bare treble in about 9 feet of water.

I would say 10-20 FOW, shallower as i gets darker. Green jig head, tip with minnow or a chuck of smelt. Jig on the bottom. Walleye fishing is best at first and last light, my suggestion is head out in the afternoon, take a flashlight and stay a couple hours after dark. Bite should continue and can get a few burbot too.

PS: remember 0 limit on walleye in pcr.

Burb action was very slow Saturday night. Perhaps the fish are busy spawning this week.

too early for the spawn

[crazyfish]

yup, too early, spawn is usually march !

At Pine coulee we have found that all the eggs in the Burbs are gone in Feb. Many others have found that as well. I believe they spawn early in this lake. I will look next time I'm out.
