Made it out Lake lenore (Small) yesterday. Fishing was decent. I caught 9 walleye ranging from 2-6 lbs.
Kept a couple for supper. I was surprised we didnt even get one Pike. My sister had a nice perch on but it never made it into the boat.
It was a beautiful day for fishing. Things should start to pick up now that the water has warmed a little.

Is there still a mercury warning for LL?
-
Where on little lake were you?
-
I was out in front of the house on the west side for the most part.
As for mercury you will find it is in every lake in southern Sask , as it is a component of our soil.
Dont worry about it unless you plan on living on fish only.

A little info on mercury in Sask Lakes

Also from the fishing guide
February 12, 2009 - Revised Fish Consumption Guidelines Established for Lake Lenore
After reviewing results of recent testing for mercury in walleye and northern pike taken from Lake Lenore, the Ministry of Environment has issued revised guidelines for eating fish from the lake:
Walleye:
• Children and pregnant women should not eat walleye over 40 centimetres long.
• Healthy adults should limit their consumption of walleye over 40 cm. long, as follows:
o No more than one meal/week if walleye are between 40 and 50 cm. long.
o No more than one meal/two weeks if walleye are between 50 and 60 cm. long.
• Walleye longer than 60 cm. should not be eaten.
Northern Pike:
• Children and pregnant women should not eat northern pike over 50 cm. long.
• Healthy adults should limit their consumption of northern pike over 50 cm. long to no more than one meal/week.
One meal is 0.23 kilograms (1/2 pound or 8 ounces) of fish

Ya I've hooked a couple there too. There some more being caught all the way south on the little lake as well. Seems that the bait has to be moving. Also had luck at lungs launch as well.

Tried LL again on Monday. Fishing was pretty good on the little lake. I talked to a couple of guys who were fishing the big lake and they were doing very well. The walleye they were catching were a little bigger on Avg than what we had. didnt have the camera at the lake so snapped one at home.
-
nice fish...congrats.
-
Way to go anglerbrian you found some nice walleye and pike at LL. :)

Hey W.W. hows the fishing this summer? So far I have only been to Stony (near Humboldt) and Little lake Lenore. The pike there do fight nice, and are tasty.
I have yet to make it out to Last Mountain or Fishing lake and I hear the water levels are very high . My brother is going to give Deif a try next week and scout it out for Walleye and Rainbows.
Good luck this season and take care.
-
Nice fish there anglerbrian. Just wondering if you knew where to launch on the big lake? I've been to the little lake lots, but never the big lake. I'm assuming you can get thru from the little lake to the big lake with the water as high as it is this year, but is there any obstacles?

Hi anglerbrian,
The fishing for me so-far has been great. ;D
I have been able to try a few different lakes this open water season and have picked up a few fish at each. Fishing Lake have been really good as of late, {see my fishing reports} and it still had quite high water level.
Not sure what the situation or fishing is like at LML. :-\
Hope your bro finds the bows and walleyes.
Good luck this open water season to you as well. :)

Hey Ochocenko. There is a launch on the big lake as well just a little north from the little lake on the west side. It is called Lungs. You can easily get into the big lake from the little lake the water is a few feet deeper there than it used to be as you can tell from all the flooded out trees.
No real obstacles. just watch your water depth. I am heading there again tomorrow. I have tried Stony (near Humboldt) a few times and it is picking up but you have to work for them.

Went fishing today in spite of the rain. My fishing buddy chickened out and she is sorry now. The fishing was awesome.
This time the original thinfin in gold was what they wanted.. I use a short section of red XT mono with a swivel on one end and a snap on the other to attach the thinfin to the main line. This way I can add a weight to get the lure to the proper depth. Today 12-15 feet.

Caught at least 20 in 3 hours including a couple of nice pike.
-
Wow, 20 in 3 hours, that's darn good fishin'. 8)
Nice looking walleye.

Went out again today in 33c heat. The fishing was almost as good as in the rain. Pam just had to go after seeing what I caught last time out.
I found a new spot and rediscovered an old one . Pam caught a nice 8lb pike as well as the walleye. I am going to bring my brother out on Sat and see if I can find some fish for him.
-
One could accurrately say that fishing has been incredible past 2 weeks on Lenore. Fish the big lake and bring LOTS of minnows!

or fish the little one trolling with raps
-
FYI. Launch is fixed now on the little lake. They leveled it and filled with gravel. Fishing is still quite good if you can find them.
-
Quite good is right
I had 15 in the first 45 mins today. There were a lot of boats so I went off by myself for awhile on the North East side and found some hungry walleye'

I returned to the West side later and there were 12 boats out there besides my own. Quite busy. but not every one was catching.
-
Nice pile of walleye again, anglerbrian. 8)
Looks like storm cranks are the hot ticket out there.
I also like to use hot n tots for walleye and pike.
How are the 2 lakes for algae this year?
WW
-
Hey Water Wolf. The algae has not been bad at all this year. Even Stoney which is almost always green this time of year has been ok.
The storm cranks do do the job as well as Rapala shad raps and husky jerks. In 12-15 feet the Hot n tots are great with no need to add weight. I can tell right away when a Pike hits as they do the head shake and then head for the bottom.
-
The St Brieux side of LL was and still is really bad for algae but it has cleared up some. The big lake is usually pretty good with some crystall clear spots depending on wind. Little lake is also pretty good this year.
-
Wow those walleyes are as stocky as our bass down here in the U.S.! Beautiful fish!
-
First time on Lake Lenore for the summer 2012 and it was windy! Nearly got blown into the tree tops a couple of times but managed a few walleye small pike and a Whitefish.
I have caught these (Whitefish) ice fishing but never before trolling with crank baits.

Not a bad day but things should start to improve as the water warms.
-
Had a little family fishing day today in the rain. My nephew had his boat My brother brought his boat out from Saskatoon and I had my little lund.
What a day! non stop Walleye and pike action and Pam and I caught half a dozen perch as well as the the Pike and Eyes.
This is the most perch in one day for us on the little lake for a few years. Nice to see them hitting while trolling cranks. If we had keyed on them we could have caught a lot more. But I have the location marked for future .
Every one caught fish today kept a few for lunch and released a bunch.
-
Tried the little lake again today with my daughter and son-in law. Fishing was pretty good lots of Walleye a few pike and two jumbo perch.
The lake is so full of little minnows it must have been a good spawn year. This must be why the walleye are so fat for their length.
-
Here are a few pics from yesterday.

Peter also had a nice 10 lb pike that I threw back before he could snap a pic. We have been catching more perch than usual hope this continues for awhile.
-
Made it back to LL for another great day of fishing. We caught another pile of perch along with the usual Walleye and Pike.
A thunderstorm erupted and we had to clear off the lake in a hurry. I have never seen 6 boats scurry off the lake in such a short time.
here are some of the perch we caught.

there were all sizes of them. We kept a few walleye and three pike for lunch.
-
Way to go anglerbrian, those are some dandy big perch.
You know there big, if they go after walleye lures. 8)
Nice pike and walleye from the other trips also.
WW
-
Havent been out for awhile but my sources tell me the fishing has been good to great on both Lenore lakes and St. Brieux as well.
-
Fished Lenore two mondays in a row and the action has been very steady. Last weekend we caught a mixed bag of perch pike and Walleye.
Today we fished from 1-4pm and hammered Walleye all day.

We caught fish from two to just over 5 lbs.

May 19 2013 time to get the boat into the little lake. No dock but launch is ok for small boats.
I tried first at the north end in the shallows and caught a bunch of pike on len thompsons drifting and casting.
Later trolling along the West side with thinfins I caught three nice Walleye and a dozen more pike.
Water level is way up again this year. The fishing is good and will only get better as the water warms.
Hope they get the dock in soon.
-
I think if we can finally get the guys together since seeding is done, should get dock in tomorrow or soon.
-
Sorry for the delay but we have the docks in at the little lake launch. Its very uneven still...still waiting for the local guy to come fix it. Planning on concrete pads or steel plates to stop the eroding.
-
Sounds good was going to give it a try today but playtime with the grandkids is a little more important, How has the fishing been?
-
Same as always :)
-
Another great morning on the little lake. Had two Walleye in the first 5 mins lots of action all morning with Pike and Walleye no perch this outing.

small lake is very hot now, lots of boats lined up on Sat. morning.
-
Fished shore last weekend, lots of catch and release pike. Only took 2 for the freezer. Still too early for a "good fight". Didn't have any walleye. Didn't see anyone catch anything other than pike. Might head back today.
Only our second season on the province so we are atill learning.
-
any news about boat fishing walleye in small lake? plan to go this Sunday with Friends.
thanks
-
The Walleye fishing was decent yesterday and the pike were very hungry. Three of us went out from 2:30 until 7 Kept 6 Walleye and two pike the rest were released. Storm wild eye perch and jig n leech caught as well as storm thinfin originals.
-
Sounds like a good day on the water. Nice going anglerbrian. :)
WW

Fishing on LL is still great has been for years now. Was out Sunday with a friend and we had pretty steady action all afternoon.
Was surprised how many people were out there considering the high winds. The shoreline was also packed.
Some of the days catch. all the pike were released this time.

My brother was out out last weekend and he had similar luck only he managed a few very large perch as a bonus. I cant reveal his spot or even general area so dont ask. good fishing everyone.
-
Seems you had a good fishing Sunday. anglerbrian. good luck next time
Yeah, so many people fished there during the past weekend. even though so strong wind, just because it was free fishing weekend.
-
Thanks young catcher now it all makes sense. With the boat at least we were able to get out of the wind on the North side and the fish were biting for us in a couple of spots.
Good luck to you as well in your next outing. :D
-
Nice looking wallye, anglerbrian. :)
I see a fish fry in the future. ;)

She was using an orange hot n tot I was using a blue and silver hot n tot she outfished me two to one .
I did try a minnow on a jig head with a nightcrawler 12 inches above the jig. had a few nibbles but trolling was more productive. as usual.

Way to go anglerbrian & Deb, nice fish. :)
Man, that is sure a sumo perch. :o
You know your into big perch when they eat walleye baits like that. ;)

First outing to Lake Lenore this year. Walleye fishing was a bit slow we only caught 5 between the two of us. The pike were on fire though and made for a busy afternoon. Water temp was only 54f.
-
Canada day, my buddy and I went to the lake first time for this summer.
Very slow day, nothing walleye, only one Jackfish about 3lb.
-
One friend and I went the lake Lenore as my second time for this season on Sunday July 26th.
It was hot and windy.
We only caught three small walleye, they all went back.
I hope my third time as my last time this year will be getting better in Fall .
-
Friday Sept 25th was my EDO, I went to lake Lenore fishing. the weather was so warm. even I could call hot, and so windy.
Duo to the past couple of times, I were not so lucky on the lake, I went there alone and my buddy didn't go with me this time.
I caught 7 walleye and one pike, kept 3 eater walleye and the pike, others were smaller and released.
What an ending for the soft water fishing this year.
-
Good going YC.
That's a nice ending to your open water season. :)
WW
-
Took awhile but I finally got the boat wet at Lake Lenore. Fished from 2:30 until 5:45. Ended up with 9 Walleye and 8 pike caught. Kept 4 walleye for supper.
They were hitting a neon orange storm thinfin and a large storm wild eye. rubber perch.
Next outing will be Last Mountain or Fishing Lake.
-
Way to go anglerbrian, that's a dandy fishing day. 8)
I was at Fishing Lake on June 6th off shore.
Caught 4 pike + 2 that shook off and a few nibbles.
No walleye that day, but if you go in a boat you should find them. ;)
Good luck where ever you go, on your next outing.
WW
