PINE RIVER AREA
FISHING REPORT

May 14, 2012 Minnesota Fishing "Opener" Report
Success reports vary after the Minnesota Opening Day for walleye and northern pike. Scattered reports have been positive, but overall it seemed the "bite" was slower than expected. A recent cold front dropped water temps and that may have had something to do with the slower than expected bite. Some anglers did find the fish, as always, and the best results seemed to be shallow after dark and around the twenty to twenty-five foot depth during the day. Jig and minnow combos were the lure of choice, but some fish were taken on the slip-bobber/leech rig and some fish were taken on nighcrawlers on slip sinker rigs. Look for improvement over the next weeks as water temps again begin to rise. The best fishing is definitely ahead of us! Panfish have moved into the shallows and good success was reported for both sunfish and crappie in most lakes.
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!
