Linvall Lake Fishing in Turnor Lake, Saskatchewan

• Overview

  The Turnor Lake entry here is Linvall Lake, in Saskatchewan. The bank is 444 metres above sea level. This is sizeable water at about 5.74 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. Some 13 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. Buffalo Narrows at 62 km is the nearest place to stop. The nearest city of size is Edmonton, 424 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Linvall Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Turnor Lake cover walleye and spottail shiner. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Treat Linvall Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -20°C and July at about 16°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. It holds true on Linvall Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Walleye come to jigs worked slow near bottom, and to trolled crankbaits along the drops at dusk. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is McAneeley Lake, 16 km out. Nothing on Linvall Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
