PCR or Clear Lake for pike?

Whiskey · #1 03-01-2011, 12:00 PM

Hi, I am coming down to the area for one day, and would like to catch some dinner. I like what I am reading about PCR, except that it sounds like there are not to many pike and you can't keep the walleye.

Clear lake seems to have limited info, which leads me to think its not so good. I have never ate burbot before either, and hear it is very good, so mabye I should try at PCR? Any suggestions helpful. thanks alot

Well yeah you're right, not too many pike in PCR but there are some. Clear is slower than slow so dunno about that, although haven't been because of my friends reports. Burbot fishing in PCR can be touch and go and you might not be able to find any.

There are better options if you're coming from Provost, IMO. I would seriously consider Travers, McGregor, CVR or Little Bow. All lakes have pike and walleye, and you can keep the eyes at Travers if they're over 50 cm. Badger is also down there, although I've never been there so I can't comment first hand on the fishing.

If I had to pass those lakes, I wouldn't drive the extra distance to get to PCR or Clear, especially if you're looking for a meal.

yeah, im staying with family in Turner Valley, so was looking for some place closer. But yeah, the extra 40 minutes or whatever is pretty much nothing.

I remember Travers and Badger being good, so mabye I will try one of them instead. I dont think I have ever fished on hard water at Travers, so mabye I will go there. Is the fishing decent this time of year there?

Yeah it should be. Travers at the Little Bow provinical park on the flat just outside of the launch area (north west) is a popular place for pike and should be good for a few.
