Lac Pelletier near Swift Current: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lac Pelletier is one of the Lac Pelletier No. 107 waters in Saskatchewan. It lies 826 metres above sea level. The water covers around 2.99 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. The margin runs to about 12 km in total. Start from Swift Current, 35 km down the road. Then Shaunavon, 51 km, and Gravelbourg, 100 km. Near neighbours include: Ferguson Bay 13 km away, Antelope Lake roughly 46 km and Leon Lake 58 km away. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Pelletier

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name yellow perch, cisco and white sucker. The county list is broader than any single water. At Lac Pelletier the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 18°C and January about -13°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lac Pelletier.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. A slipway is marked about 400 m from here. Overnight stays are possible 490 m away. Mapping shows a picnic spot within 550 m. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Ferguson Bay sits 13 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Lac Pelletier as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
