Ready to test your skills against some of Saskatchewan's hardest-fighting fish? Hop aboard with Tyrell Hanson, your seasoned guide, for a full morning of targeting trophy Walleye and Northern Pike on Last Mountain Lake. This 6-hour trip is tailor-made for anglers who know their stuff and want to make the most of prime fishing time. From May 15th to September 15th, you'll be out on the water at the crack of dawn, ready to hit those honey holes when the fish are most active.
Your day kicks off at 7 AM sharp, so grab that coffee and let's go! You'll be fishing from a decked-out 2021 Lund Tyee, a boat that's as comfortable as it is fishing-friendly. With a 200 HP Mercury engine, we can cover a lot of water to find where the big ones are hiding. This trip is set up for two anglers, but if you've got a couple more buddies who want in on the action, we can accommodate up to four total. Just remember, the more lines in the water, the merrier – but also the more tangles to sort out!
On Last Mountain Lake, we're not messing around with dinky fish – we're after the wall-hangers. For Walleye, we'll be using a mix of jigging, trolling, and live-bait rigging. Depending on the day, we might be working the weed edges with jigs and minnows or trolling crankbaits along underwater points. When it comes to Pike, get ready for some serious battles. We'll be throwing spoons, spinners, and even topwater lures into the shallows where these toothy critters like to ambush their prey. Don't worry about gear – I've got top-notch rods, reels, and tackle all set up and ready to go. Just bring your A-game and a valid fishing license, and we'll take care of the rest.
Last Mountain Lake isn't called the "Walleye Capital of Saskatchewan" for nothing. Anglers have been pulling in some real beauties lately. We're talking about Walleye pushing the 30-inch mark and Pike that'll make your arms sore just thinking about reeling them in. One group last week landed a 42-inch Northern that put up a fight worthy of a fishing story that'll last generations. But remember, it's not just about the trophies – the consistent action and the chance to refine your techniques make every trip worthwhile.
Walleye: These golden-eyed beauties are the crown jewels of Last Mountain Lake. Known for their tasty fillets, Walleye are also prized for the challenge they present. They're most active during low-light conditions, which is why we're out at the crack of dawn. Walleye in this lake average 2-3 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 10-pounder. They love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting submerged rocks, weed beds, and drop-offs. The fight of a Walleye is unique – they don't make big runs, but their head-shaking and diving can make for an exciting battle, especially on light tackle.
Northern Pike: If Walleye are the kings of Last Mountain Lake, Pike are the aggressive knights always looking for a fight. These toothy predators are ambush hunters, often lurking in weed beds or near drop-offs. We target them with heavy-duty gear because when a big one hits, you need to be ready. Pike in this lake can easily top 40 inches and put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. They're known for their explosive strikes and powerful runs. Don't be surprised if you see one follow your lure right up to the boat – it's a heart-stopping moment every angler lives for. The best part? Pike fishing here is good all season long, but it really heats up in the cooler months when these predators are extra aggressive.
Last Mountain Lake isn't just another fishing spot – it's a premier destination for serious anglers looking to tangle with some real fighters. The lake's diverse structure means we can always find fish, regardless of weather conditions. Plus, with a 6-hour trip, we've got plenty of time to try different spots and techniques. It's not uncommon for anglers to leave with new skills they can apply on their home waters. And let's be honest, the chance at landing a personal best Walleye or Pike is always on the table here. Whether you're looking to fill the livewell for a fish fry or aiming for that trophy photo, Last Mountain Lake delivers time and time again.
Look, if you're the type of angler who lives for those early mornings on the water, chasing after big fish with other folks who really know their stuff, this is the trip for you. At $1000 for two anglers (with the option to add two more at $200 each), you're getting a full morning of prime fishing time with all the gear and local knowledge you need to make it count. Remember, these trips fill up fast, especially during peak season. So if you're ready to tangle with some of Saskatchewan's finest Walleye and Pike, don't wait to book. Grab your fishing buddy, clear your calendar, and let's get out on Last Mountain Lake. The fish are waiting, and trust me, they're ready to give you a run for your money. See you on the water!
Northern pike are the aggressive predators of Last Mountain Lake, known for their long, torpedo-shaped bodies and razor-sharp teeth. These ambush hunters typically range from 24-36 inches, with some monsters pushing past 40 inches. You'll find pike lurking in weedy bays, around submerged timber, and off points, usually in 5-15 feet of water. They're most active in cooler water, making spring and fall prime pike seasons. Anglers love targeting pike for their explosive strikes and powerful runs. When hooked, they'll often leap clear out of the water, providing an adrenaline-pumping fight. To entice these toothy critters, try casting large spoons or inline spinners near weed edges. Work your lure with a steady retrieve, occasionally adding quick jerks to trigger strikes. Just remember to use a steel leader - pike will slice through regular line like butter.
Walleye are a prized catch on Last Mountain Lake, known for their golden-olive color and distinctive reflective eyes. These fish typically range from 2-5 pounds, with trophy specimens pushing 10 pounds or more. You'll find them hanging around rocky points, drop-offs, and weed edges, often at depths of 15-30 feet during summer. They're most active at dawn and dusk, making early mornings ideal for targeting them. Walleye put up a good fight and are fantastic eating fish, with firm, flaky white meat. To boost your chances, try slow-trolling with bottom bouncers and nightcrawlers along depth changes. When you feel that telltale tap-tap-tap, resist the urge to set the hook immediately. Give it a few seconds, then reel down and sweep the rod to the side. It's a technique that takes practice, but it'll help you land more of these wary biters.
