Lakes & Rivers
100,000 lakes - a million possibilities
Saskatchewan offers some of the most unique fishing environments in Canada, widely diverse from north to south. The rolling plains and parklands of the southern and central regions contrast sharply with the wilderness of Saskatchewan’s spectacular north. Anywhere you go, the fishing experiences are as challenging and rewarding as they are diverse.
Some anglers are attracted to our southern lakes and regions, which feature easy access and a range of amenities and activities. Others are drawn to more rugged settings of driveable northern lakes. And there are those who really want to get away from it all — by flying into remote northern fishing camps.
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.
The remote and remarkable North
Northern Saskatchewan has one of the largest concentrations of fly-in fishing camps in the world. La Ronge serves as the major base for expeditions heading northward, and access is also available via Creighton and Buffalo Narrows. Many of the road-accessible camps offer fly-outs to more remote fishing lakes.
International airports in Regina and Saskatoon can connect you with chartered air services to take you to your northern destination. When planning your fly-in adventure, be sure to check with your outfitter on flight arrangements; often charter air service can be included in your package plan.
