Default Pine coulee

Was there yesterday and the lake is down a good 8ft. from last week. Did not go to the south end to see if the spillway was running but I am guessing not. Guess they have the irrigation going full tilt. Won't be long and the boat docks will be out for sure. Maybe only 3 FOW at the dock. Looks like going back to the muddy boat launch like last year.

Where would that be? I've only ever used the regular one. Or do you mean the same launch, just having to drive in past the end of the concrete?

Sorry to hear that, but my last trip out there will most likely be my last anyway.

Sad what happened there...

Not past the end of the concrete yet but if it keeps dropping it will be there in no time at all. Have not heard anything about blue algae in PCR,

I agree, sad they waited so long to open it for retention. All the bigger fish died off from old age before we could eat them. Not one fish over 16 inches was caught during the SAWT Tourney.

I cant stand fishing there, its over crowded, over fished, always windy and there is absolutely no scenery. Its good to take the kids out for a day if your looking for guaranteed action to keep them interested but I don't find it a particularly great fishery in comparison to what we are surrounded by
