Calvert Lake Fishing Guide, Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan

• Overview

  You will find Calvert Lake in Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan. The land about it is northern bush. About 2.58 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. The margin runs to about 7.5 km in total. Nearest place of any size is Fort Smith, 379 km away. It is 773 km to Saskatoon, the nearest city. Within easy reach: Middle Lake about 18 km, Black Lake (20 km), Giles Lake about 26 km, Eisenhauer Lake (27 km) and Wapata Lake about 28 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Calvert Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Across Stony Rapids, recorded fish include cisco, northern pike and round whitefish. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Calvert Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -26°C in January and 16°C in July. The fishing year opens late and shuts early. Winter locks it down, and mid May brings it back. Break-up near mid May, freeze-up near late October: that is the shape of an average year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Calvert Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Middle Lake sits 18 km off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Calvert Lake in what we hold.
