Only 50 km from Edmonton, serpentine Wizard Lake can be fished year-round for northern pike and yellow perch. Wizard is supposed to have walleye, but there are no reported catches. Burbot are also caught. These deep-water lurkers will take many different offerings, and, like pike, are considered opportunistic feeders. Ice fishing for pike is especially popular, but watch for springs that can thin the ice. While the fish are mostly on the small side, the lake is surprisingly productive overall. Spring fishing is reported to be good for small and medium pike up to 5 lbs. The lake is open from May 15 to March 31st of each year. The narrows are often more productive than wider stretches. Just past the boat launch, at a depth of 10-15 feet, is another hot spot. If you are casting from shore, try fishing in the evening at dusk near the campground. Try a Five of Diamonds. Until the late 1960s, the common name for the lake was Conjuring Lake. First Nations’ legends suggest strange noises in the lake came from “conjuring creatures.” The creek draining the lake is still called Conjuring Creek. LAKE ACCESS Wizard straddles two counties. The northern shore of the lake is in Leduc County and the southern shore is in the County of Wetaskiwin. The lake is located southwest of Edmonton. Take Hwy. 2 south to Leduc and turn right onto Hwy. 39. Follow this road for about 15 km to Secondary Highway 795 at the town of Calmar. Turn left and continue for another 15 km to the lake turnoff, leading to the east end of the lake. Wizard Lake Jubilee Park is operated by Leduc County and offers overnight camping, a day-use area, paid parking and a boat launch. The park is located on a former coal mine. In addition to 114 sites, serviced and unserviced, there is a playground, showers, power and firewood. By midsummer, the lake’s popularity for watersports like tubing and waterskiing keeps some anglers away.
