South flood gates, USE WORMS and a bobber and some split shots and a #2 hook on the edge of the current (depth varies from 1 foot under the bobber to bait to 2 ft). Just let it float and watch the fun start! You should get your limit of 10 per person in no time!

We trolled along the south shore, west from the KC
Beach and found some nice 3 to 5 pound walleyes. Most fish were caught with
perch patterned wally diver lure. We also caught a few by casting spoons. The
Len thompson 5 of Diamonds worked well and pulled in the biggest walleye of the
day, and biggest pike, from the same area. a lot of the regulars spend their
time fishing straight out from the boat launch and the bay to the East of the
launch.

Delaronde lake has some of the best fishing
within 5 hours of Regina. If your looking for a great getaway with many
fishing possibilities, Delaronde is where you want to be. Wayne and his family
at the Delarond Resort will be happy to show you the lake and they have great
fishing and hunting packages available for bargain basement prices. Get the
feel of a true North Saskatchewan fishing experience, but only drive half way.
Pike ranging from 10 - 30lbs are not uncommon. As well the Walleyes are
usually 5-12 lbs with the occasional 14 - 15 pounder. The lake offers many
great places to beach for shore lunch, as well is a great environment for
family fun. Second to none. Next time you want to get out for some great
fishing on this wonderful Saskatchewan lake, check out Delaronde resort just a
couple kms north of Shellbrook

Very good fishing for walleye at Eastern End.
Use large tube jigs tipped with pork rinds. |
Round Lake - SK
Round Lake has some exceptional walleye fishing at the peak times of the year.
Peak times that I feel are producing large numbers of walleye are right when the
ice is out and of course during the fall. To start off, the west end at the
river mouth has great fishing with usually a fuzzy grub or minnows. The water is
about 8 to 15 feet and is a great spot when worked slow. Medium running
crankbaits or worm harnesses works well also. In the fall they seem to move into
the shallower water at the east end where they find some forage for themselves.
Again, night crawlers and leeches work best.

| Dr. Mainprize Park / Rafferty Reservoir - SK
This lake is only about 10 years old
since they flooded the Souris river to build the park, but the fishing is
amazing. Fishing from a boat there are a few places that produce walleye
constantly, but the majority of the time we go out we fish from the rocks at the
causeway (approx 8 km from the park gates, but not in the park itself) In
the spring just after the ice breaks the walleye are in their pre-spawn mode and
hang out right at the causeway in about 5 - 10 feet of water. We usually
catch a 4 to 6 pounder every 2 to 3 minutes. That period usually only
lasts for a week or 2 before they take off and the fishing slows down to almost
nothing for walleye. All summer and Fall long however, the smaller Walleye
move in and 1 person could go through a day catching about 50 - 100 1/2
pounders and only a few of those are over 2 or 3 lbs. The excitement with
catching these puny Walleye is that there are always a million Pike out there
(15 - 25lbs) and I haven't had a day yet where we haven't seen one come in and
take one of the little Walleye's while being reeled in!
The best results out there seem to be minnows
and a pickerel rig, however jig heads seem to be better if you want to
use a leader in case you actually hammer one of the Monster Pike. Worms
will work, but the Perch usually go for it more often. The pro's favorite
bait, Leeches, work about as good as fried beans on a first date so I don't
recommend them, however we have had a couple good days with them. There
are thousands of Walleye there though, and unless you are a millionaire, use minnows
because a container of 12 leeches will last exactly 12 casts and maybe 2
minutes. It's not uncommon to catch a little Walleye after about 5 seconds of
waiting.

| Pasqua Lake - SK
Pasqua is one of the Qu'Appelle Valley
lakes that all have a good supply of walleye, as well as pike & perch.
Try jigging on either side of the point on the south side of the lake. Use
a depth finder to find the drop off. You'll need a boat to get there
as the road is one the north side of the lake.

There is a sand bar with easy access
about midway on the south shore with a sharp drop. The sand bar extends
out 25 to 30 meters into only one meter of water. Casting with bait &
rig will work from the sand bar as well as jigging or trolling from a
boat. In the summer, the water is warm. In the spring or fall,
you'll need waders if you want to stay out in the cooler water for any length of
time.

| Tobin Lake - SK
Home of the provincial records, year
after year. Many 10 plus pounders wander the river channel between the dam and
Tobin Lake The all-time Saskatchewan record comes from Tobin, over 17
pounds!

| Winnipeg River - MB
There are some big fish here, with the
occasional catch over 10 pounds or more. The best fishing is around the
mouth of the Winnipeg River at Traverse Bay on Lake Winnipeg. Trolling works
well, especially around the mudflats. Try the shallow waters early in the
day then move to the deeper stuff as the sun warms the water. Jigs baited
with leeches or minnows tend to work pretty well if you want to drop anchor for
a while.

| The Forks - AB
The Forks is the start of the South
Saskatchewan River (where the Bow and Oldman Rivers meet up) and the place where
I start my walleye every year, even though the really good months are in early
falls. I've seen some big ones pulled out, 10 pounders and more, but
haven't been lucky enough to snag one of the big ones myself. If the
walleye fishing isn't any good that day, you might find better luck going up the
Bow River and casting for rainbow trout. What I like best about this place is
the variety of fishing available. While it's a little tough to get a boat
in here, there's good fishing from shore or wading in. If you've got a
float boat, you can get to some of the best places. Went down there last
weekend and caught a few 5 pounders. The guys just up river caught some
larger ones (it never fails).
