The big place round here is Winnipeg, 751 km distant. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

Ice-out usually falls in late May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The water is typically free of ice between late May and late October. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. On Sakawisew Bay the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Okaw River at 27 km is the nearest alternative.
