Drive-In Fishing

Great fishing, right at your fingertips - or as far as you're willing to drive

Southern rivers, streams and lakes
Northern pike, walleye, rainbow trout and perch are the most common species in southern Saskatchewan. Some of the more popular waters include Lake Diefenbaker (with nearly 800 kilometres/500 miles of shoreline), Last Mountain Lake and the Fishing Lakes of the Qu’Appelle Valley.

At Rafferty Dam Reservoir and Boundary Dam Reservoir, near Estevan and just minutes away from the US border, there's great fishing for the usual species and even a few bass. You can fish at most of Saskatchewan’s provincial parks, including Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. Southern lakes are easily accessible and a host of other recreational opportunities including trail riding, golfing and camping are often nearby.

Waterways of central Saskatchewan
As the landscape shifts to boreal forest near the centre of the province, good, all-weather roads provide access to numerous fishing camps, resorts and campgrounds. Tobin Lake, the Saskatchewan River system and the lakes of Meadow Lake Provincial Park all have great fishing combined with other easily accessible activities.

From La Ronge you can drive the 440km/260mi stretch all the way to Wollaston Lake. The Hanson Lake Road from Narrow Hills Provincial Park to Creighton leads you through the excellent fishing country of northeast Saskatchewan.

Highway 155 through Buffalo narrows and La Loche takes you to the lakes of the northwest. The Semchuk Trail leads to Clearwater River Provincial Park and north to Cluff Lake. Throughout the north, you’ll find accommodation at government-operated campgrounds, at many private lakeside resorts and at numerous drive-in fishing camps.
