Hook 'Em on Last Mountain Lake: Walleye & Pike

Ready to wet a line on one of Saskatchewan's most productive fisheries? This beginner-friendly trip with Last Mountain Angling Adventures is your ticket to landing some real beauties. Whether you're after the golden flash of walleye or the toothy grin of a northern pike, guide Tyrell Hanson knows just where to put you on fish. With morning and afternoon options available, you can choose the perfect time to hit the water and make some memories.

Trip Overview

Climb aboard Tyrell's spacious Lund Tyee, a fishing machine powered by a beefy 200 HP Mercury. You'll spend three hours exploring Last Mountain Lake's prime fishing spots, learning the ropes from a pro who lives and breathes these waters. The beauty of this trip is its flexibility - pick a 7 AM start to catch that early morning bite, or opt for the 3 PM departure if you're not an early riser. With all the gear provided, you just need to show up with your license and a good attitude. The base rate covers two anglers, but you can bring up to two more friends for a small additional fee. It's the perfect way to get your feet wet in the world of freshwater fishing.

What to Expect on the Water

Tyrell's approach is all about getting you into fish, fast. You might start off jigging for walleye along underwater points and drop-offs, feeling for that distinctive 'tap-tap' of a bite. Or, you could find yourself casting big spoons and crankbaits for aggressive pike lurking in the weedbeds. Expect to cycle through different techniques as Tyrell reads the lake and adjusts to what's working. He'll show you how to work your lures, set the hook, and safely handle your catch. Don't be surprised if you pick up some local knowledge about Last Mountain's history or the best spots to grab a burger after your trip. It's not just about the fish - it's about the whole experience.

Top Catches This Season

Last Mountain Lake is known for consistently producing quality fish. Walleye in the 2-4 pound range are common, with the occasional 6-pounder making an appearance to really get your heart racing. Northern pike averaging 3-5 pounds are eager biters, and there's always the chance of tangling with a true monster over 40 inches. Tyrell's been putting clients on some impressive stringers lately, with multiple fish days being the norm rather than the exception. Remember, it's catch-and-release for the big ones to keep the fishery healthy for years to come.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: The gold standard of freshwater fishing, walleye are prized for both their fight and their flaky white fillets. These fish have eyes that seem to glow in low light, giving them their name. They tend to school up, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. Walleye love to hang out near structure and drop-offs, using their keen eyesight to ambush prey. The best action is often early morning or late evening when they're most active. There's nothing quite like the steady pull of a walleye on the line - it's addictive!

Northern Pike: These toothy predators are the wolves of the water. Pike are aggressive feeders, known for explosive strikes and acrobatic fights. They can grow to impressive sizes, with Last Mountain Lake producing some real giants. Pike love to lurk in weed beds, ready to dart out and grab passing prey. Fishing for pike is often a visual thrill - you might see one following your lure right up to the boat before it strikes. Just watch those teeth when you're unhooking them! The satisfaction of landing a big pike is hard to beat, especially for beginners getting their first taste of serious freshwater action.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Last Mountain Lake isn't just another fishing spot - it's a Saskatchewan treasure. The lake's diverse structure, from shallow bays to deep basins, creates perfect habitat for a variety of fish. But it's not just about the quantity of fish - it's the quality that keeps anglers coming back. The chance to battle a trophy walleye or pike in these pristine waters is something special. Add in the stunning prairie sunsets, the cry of loons echoing across the water, and the wealth of knowledge you'll gain from Tyrell, and you've got a recipe for an unforgettable day on the water. Many first-timers find themselves hooked, booking return trips before they even get back to shore.
