PINE
RIVER AREA
FISHING REPORT 
February
1, 2012
Ice conditions on smaller lakes in the Pine River area are adequate
in most areas and most of the larger lakes are accessable as well, keeping in
mind that it is never safe near channeled areas or near the ice heaves that have
been present this year. Anglers are reporting good action on panfish and northern
pike in most areas and walleyes have been active in deeper water, 25-35 feet in
depth. As the season lengthens it is always a good idea to go "lighter"
in your tackle and lures. Some of the best panfishing is ahead of us in late February
and March!
The
Pine River Lions Club hold their annual "Take A Kid Fishing Day" every
June and all kids attending experience a exciting, fun filled day on the water!

Fishing" Guides and Their Excited Anglers
