Limit Lake, Saskatchewan: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Limit Lake is set in Senlac No. 411, Saskatchewan. The surface lies 642 metres up. This is a pocket water of some 7 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Unity at 28 km is the nearest place to stop. Beyond it, Macklin at 31 km and Provost at 50 km. Near neighbours include: Pearce Lake about 7.7 km, Roscoe Lake after 8.8 km, Chisholm Lake about 9.5 km, Fire Lake after 12 km and Little Manitou Lake about 13 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Limit Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Senlac No. 411, recorded fish include lake chub and longnose dace. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Work Limit Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -15°C in January to roughly 17°C in July. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Anyone fishing Limit Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Mapped as intermittent, it fills after rain and shrinks between. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Pearce Lake sits 7.7 km off and takes the overflow. Signs at Limit Lake carry more weight than any list.
