| ------------ Location: Meeting Lake - SaskatchewanComments: This is a picturesque little lake that is one of Saskatchewan's best kept secrets! It has a deep water launch for boats, filleting shack and if you ask really nice, the locals will share their best spots with you. You can catch a pike on almost every cast but the best spots hold plenty of 2-4lbs walleye! |
| ------------ Location: Echo Lake - SaskatchewanComments: 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.Recomended by: sundog@sk.sympatico.ca |
| ------------ Location: The Forks - AlbertaComments: 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). |
| ------------ Location: Winnipeg River - ManitobaComments: 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. |
| ------------ Location: Tobin Lake - SaskatchewanComments: 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! Recomended by: |
| ------------ Location: Pasqua Lake - SaskatchewanComments: 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.

| ------------ Location: Dr. Mainprize Park / Rafferty Reservoir - SaskatchewanComments: 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. Recomended by: tylerwanner@hotmail.com |
| ------------ Location: Round Lake - SaskatchewanComments: 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. |
| ------------ Location: Stoney Lake - SaskatchewanComments: Very good fishing for walleye at Eastern End. Use large tube jigs tipped with pork rinds. |
| ------------ Location: Shellbrook - SaskatchewanComments: 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 ShellbrookRecomended by: C_bass007@hotmail.com |
| ------------ Location: Fishing Lake - SaskatchewanComments: 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.Recomended by: gsonntag@kbsportsupport.com |
| ------------ Location: Winnipeg - ManitobaComments: 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! |
