Athabasca Tours Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Lake Athabasca in northern Saskatchewan Canada has big fish and lots of them Lakers up to 60lbs. Northern Pike in the 50"range grayling and walley Trolling, casting and Fly fishing for either species works,Flies, or surface hooks are a blast for lakers they are just as aggresive as Pike espescially in the 20 to 25lbs. range, the bigger ones run and hide.Imagine 50 plus fish a day most over 20lbs. this lake is untouced and has it all, check out the pictures at Lake Athabasca Tours------------------hog slayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renneberg Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 When's the best time of the year to catch big pike and lake trout up there?------------------"Study to be quiet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athabasca Tours Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 Best time for the Hogs are June, July and September,June we catch them in as little as 6 feet of water you can see the Lakers on the bottom of the Lake, Pike are the same in shallow water basking in the sun they look like logs on the bottom, use surface hooks for either species such as frogs, mice etc. etc.The Lakers are as aggressive as Pike espescially in the fall when they are comming in to spawn.It's amazing when you latch on to a 30 plus pounder and another is right beside it we had a guy last year with a 50 lbs. fish on light tackle and the rod didn't break.This lake is without question the best Lake for volume and size of fish caught.

cas Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I don't mean to put this body of water down, but i've fished the lake about 10 years ago. If it wasn't for the lakers i don't think we would of had many fish on our lines. I'd like to think that we were more experienced to catch more northerns or walleyes, but it was tough at that time. Lakers were a great time and a fun fish to catch. Wanted to know if anyone else had the same luck we did 10 years ago?? It sure was a long drive from central minnesota!!!!

Surface Tension Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 cas, This lake is notorious for big pike. Maybe the weather had the pike turned off when you were there. I myself would be after those huge Lake Trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athabasca Tours Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 The best time to catch Northern Pike is in June or July, your guide must be prepared to go to where the fish are, we venture where we must to get the bays in which the Pike like to lounge in.Lakers do seem to be the fish of choice for most fisherman, everyone wants to latch onto the 50 pounder.As for walley they are on the west side of the lake in the delta / river system, I could give more details if someone wants to listen?For prices e-mail me.
