Ivy Lake Fishing in Meeting Lake No. 466, Saskatchewan

• Overview

  In Saskatchewan, Ivy Lake falls inside Meeting Lake No. 466. The ground round it is boreal forest. Around 20 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Some 50 km away sits Waldheim, the nearest settlement. After that come Langham at 63 km and Rosthern at 66 km. What else is close: Martins Lake 19 km away, Redberry Lake (23 km), Gillies Lake 27 km away, Kay Lakes (31 km) and Royal Lake 31 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Ivy Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Anyone new to Ivy Lake should walk it once before setting up. Take a plummet or a sounder rather than guessing depth.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -17°C in January and 17°C in July. Cold dominates the year and the fishing works around it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. On average, late April opens the water and mid November closes it again. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Ivy Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Mapped as intermittent, it fills after rain and shrinks between. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Martins Lake, 19 km out. For Ivy Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
