Central Saskatchewan

Finally, a worthy fishing report.

As a gift for my birthday, The family paid to fly me out to the prairies for a 10 day fishing trip. What a fantastic time with my family. Then there was the fishing. Never hit the water for more than 4-5 hours each day, yet we were catching 50-120 fish per session. The tactics were simple. Baitholders with leeches, and our worm harnesses tipped with worm, leech or minnow.  Minnow and ball jigs , with a sickle hook or casting jigs tipped with twisters or paddle tales.

  The fish were insane. Walleye out there were fighters, not dead weight.  Pike were a lot thicker across the back as compared to pike in southern Ontario. Did not manage any trophy pike, but we landed a lot of solid ones in the 30-36" range. Managed to land a lot of 25-28" walleye

That looks like a blast.  To be honest SK would not have been on my radar for a walleye/pike trip but it now is

Thanks for sharing

There is some fantastic waters in the province. Guess that's why Charlie Wray keeps going back.

I was supposed to have been there right now, but trip was cancelled. Were you near Prince Albert? 

Looks like a fantastic trip!

We were in the heart of central Saskatchewan.  Biggest town in the area was 500 souls. A lot of the towns are now half empty. Fantastic area for a fisherman's retirement.

Was 3 years since I last had a vacation. It felt soooo good. No worries, phone calls, e-mails or schedules.

Best walleye fishing I’ve ever experienced in my life was in Saskatchewan. People forget the northern half is loaded with lakes
