Hey any of you fish in Southwest Saskatchewan ?
I think I'd like to try some walleye fishing. I'm thinking I'd bring the Hewes Sportsman and do a shirt tail trip with the wife,kids, and grand kids. I would come up through Havre MT and would like to keep it a round 100/150 miles ( 160/240 K) in to Canada. Other wise it wouldn't make any sense to bring the boat,at 150 miles/240 k, It would make the round trip about 600 miles/965 K,any thing over that and it's cheaper to rent a boat,I would think. At $4/3.96 a gallon here that's $250/247. in gas. :eyepopping:
Any way any thoughts? Regulations? Boat related stuff? You know Stuff I'd never think of. The last time I was in Canada was 1978 on our Honeymoon we went to the Calgary Zoo.

Most of my experience is on the East/central side around Tobin lake.
There were fish everywhere but we found it saved a lot of time by
hiring Indian guides for a few hours and try and get a feel where they
liked to go then drop them off with some beer as a tip and go out on
our own. The best fishing is north of the Canadian Sheild but not much
for roads, mostly fly-in. I'm not sure what you're used to but the lakes
up there are cut out of granite, a lot different than the sandy bottoms
I'm used to. Nobody had a fiberglass boat. Bring a patch kit and a
couple props or your jet boat. Also remember gas is going to be about
a dollar a gallon more. Myself I'd rent but with as many people you
have I don't know?

I have been going to lake Wapaweka (sp) with my dad about every other year for the last 10 or 12 years. Thats about 40 miles westish of LaRonge. Some Walleye fishing, but mostly Northern Pike. We rent a cabin and a boat. A little more expensive, but we dont have to worry about anything. For something like $100.00 we get insurance and that covers the bent props that deaddog was talking about.

If you are interested, they will provide meals too.

This is the place we stay.

The reason I mention a guide is as Wingmaster eluded to. The
Northerns will nearly jump into the boat while casting into their normal
habitat like the edge of reeds or cattails. Walleye on the other hand
need a local expert or one that can read a sonar depth/fish finder like
a book.
