Reindeer Lake (Saskatchewan) In Early July For Pike

[TMF89]

Hey guys, just got some new news, turns out it'll probably rain over half the time we're up there, all light drizzles and showers. Any advice on pike fishing during this?

I can tell you that 20 plus years ago when you had that type of weather you would either use a daredevil or floating rap, either a 11 or 13 in the gold / black or silver / black colors.

Fish the bays, if the weed growth is not to bad and if it is use a top water bait. Nothing like seeing the boil on the water. Back in 1984, I did catch a 23lb pike out of this lake. Went back in 85 and we could not get on the lake as the ice was still there and that was the 1st week of June. After that we no longer went that far up, started fishing the Church Hill river chain north of La Ronge. I imagine that the bugs will be bad too. Try listeren, orginal, and they will stay away from you. Have a great time and make sure you post results. Are you driving up?

[TMF89]

Yup, probably leaving tomorrow. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely let you guys know how I do!

a few things that worked for me on reindeer were size 4 and seize 5 mepps agilas in brown. Also, try a husky jerk as well.

Kingfisher, do you mean brown as in like the brown trout pattern? Or silver with a brown dressing?

[Grant Pearson]

both. Also, brass with brown.
