Saskatchewan jaunts

feign · #1 March 29th, 2006

I thought I should start us out here with some discussion on our Saskatchewan trip. I think the thought was to have our first sask outing on May long weekend. I am actually free for more than the long weekend at this time. Here are some facts:

Location : Meadow lake provincial park lakes (Erik proposed)
Regulations : this area is central zone. Fishing season opens on May 20. May 20 is the Friday of the long weekend (Canadian version). Still awaiting the printing of the 2006 regulation guide for specific limits.
Fish: two factors I think - cold still and fish are hungry. This means lake trout could be in shallower waters. This time will be the tail end of Walleye spawning.

I have May 20 off and will be heading up that morning. Maybe we could get in the water for some scouting- hit a few spots, etc, then hunt Saturday Sunday Monday. Let's hope the Trout are available

Peace,
Erik

By May 20 do you mean the Friday (May 19) Erik?

Erik · #4 March 30th, 2006

Oops! Yes, I have the Friday booked off.
Peace,
Erik

The other option would be to go into the southern zone around Lloydminster as the fishing will be open May 6 there, so we could spear on the Friday. Although, getting out there, set-up, scouting etc. could take most of the Friday anyway and have us ready for Sat morning.

I have to be in Rosetown (south of saskatoon) on Saturday for a wedding. Would consider meeting you guys friday if it was somewhere like Lloyds or south of that

You have a lake in mind for Lloyd, Lee?
Peace,

Not only am I in for Friday but I may rejoin you sunday morning

... I'm thinking right now that I (maybe we - if lydija and spence come) will drive to edmonton thursday and convoy with you friday morning. Then saturday i'll go to rosetown and come up sunday morning to wherever the next stop is.

Do we need reservations for accomodations? Are we camping? Someone PM me witht allll the details.

I had thought about Manitou or Reflex lakes. I think part of Manitou, possibly the lower lake is high salinity and may not support much fish life? I need to get more info on the main lake....

I couldn't find much info around that area. I still think we should head to meadow lake park just because it's so well spoken of for many reasons, and we have 4 days off to explore that area. Plus a little closer for Stu I think.
Peace,

I am up for wherever the wind takes us. The spring weather today had me excited.

We'll be at meadow lake. Got a troupe coming and need to meet them

JMD · #13 April 6th, 2006

Alright, just so we're clear. You guys are going straight to meadow lake without a stopover in Lloyd's... I might be able to make it up sunday/monday. will let you know

Erik · #14 April 6th, 2006

Meadow Lake it is. Bri, whereabouts will you be staying?

If you are hoping to get trout check on what lakes u are going to cause alot of the trout only lakes open earlier then the rest of the zone. theres a list of them in the saskatchewan anglers guide i know little raspberry and beatty open on may 6 in that area. that way if u get there early enough on the friday u could try for some trout. i go to beatty and there are big splake in there but its like over one hour from were your planning on being.
