The rushing water of the Churchill River slams into my 12-foot solo canoe as I paddle out of the calm eddy I was resting in.

One of the most memorable trips I shared with my dad was in Northeast Saskatchewan, at Reindeer Lake. This was one of the first pike trips I had taken my him on, and he was as excited as I was the first day he took me fishing.

"A career in the outdoors has given me the chance to bring a number of guests along with me to explore some of the fantastic fishing opportunities in Saskatchewan..." 

Anytime of the year is a good reason to brunch and celebrate your friends. So grab your pals, gals or otherwise, take a trip and check out these top spots.

Some of Saskatchewan’s best ski slopes aren’t hills – they’re valleys, cut into the plains 14,000 years ago by melting glaciers. Now these old channels have been taken over by ski lifts and snowboards. 

In a single day we were able to land over fifteen world-class pike over forty inches in just six to seven hours, including one of my personal best fish, a 51” behemoth!

“I am honoured that I was able to hold that fish in my hands and then let it go and watch it swim back down,” George Large, co-host of In-Fisherman TV. 

Growing up in a small town and working at a family-owned sporting goods store, Tom Klein, owner of Scott Lake Lodge, always yearned to get “up north.” 

Choosing a lodge is the hardest part of planning a fishing vacation to Saskatchewan.

Embrace winter surrounded by the beauty of northern Saskatchewan. Enjoy front-country fun with the family or explore the boreal backcountry this snowy season.

Saskatchewan’s 100,000 lakes and rivers offer visiting anglers nearly 60,000 sq. km of fishing heaven. 

Here are some ideas to help you find the perfect Saskatchewan-made gift for friends and loved ones.
