Movin to Kamsack....

[Oxquo]

Hi all I am totally new to this board. I just recently bought a house in Saskatchewan in Kamsack for those who can't find it on the map it is north east about 80K from Yorkton. I have done alot of fishing in Saskatchewan mainly the Saskatoon Lake deif area and also alot in Winnipeg area and surrounding Manitoba. I do have a few questions about the area I am moving to hopefully someone can help. A) is there a fishing guide or almanac for Saskatchewan and where could I order one. I have the rules and regs guide but it says nothing of what may be living in my local waters. B) I am aware of the rivers crossing near town, Assiniboine and the whitesand, are the same fish present as in Manitoba in the Assiniboine? Channel cats? Drum? and seeing that it runs so slowly through town what are the chances that perch may inhabit the river there? Anyone know what lives in Madge lake and is it worth the entrance fee or is there a place to enter the lake without paying the fee? Also as an ex manitoban Lake of the prairies is near, can anyone tell me if perch exist there or is it much like Lake Winnipeg and they are just rumored to live there? Thanks to anyone who can help as I can find very little info on this area on the internet or other. I hope I can add a few fishing reports here to help others out in the future although for the next month I will only be able to contribute to Alberta reports. Thanks and great fishing..............

Lake of the prairies is better in the past couple years then it has ever been, the walleye are plentifull and so are the perch. The perch are all good sizes on the average 8-12 inches, the rock bass are starting to come around as well you can fish the bridge for them or whats called th eold road. You will not be dissapointed with LOTP at all i guarantee it. During the tournament there in june we boated 350 - 400 walleye in 4 days of fishing.

Awesome I will definitely give it a go then. If there are perch I am there as I am sure there is few other flyfishable fish in those parts although I have caught many rock bass in Manitoba on Chronomid patterns. The bridge you mentioned is on which side of the lake? That sounds like maybe a good perch spot although I usually just haunt peoples private docks from my boat. Thanks again for the great info.

Well if you want to fish for a lot of different species you should go to the manitoba duck mountain park and you can fish for pretty much all trout species, smallies (some, not much) pike walleye and even muskies. I am just on my way out but i will elaborate later. I am just going to start fishing around deif and would appreciate your input.
Talk to you later
