About Boundary Dam Reservoir

Boundary Dam Reservoir is the go-to lake for largemouth bass in Saskatchewan. In fact, it is the only lake in Saskatchewan that supports a largemouth fishery.

Because of this, the lake is a unique destination and is hugely popular.

YouTube videos, discussion forums, and local experts all agree that Boundary Dam Reservoir is an unmatched experience in Saskatchewan.

The water temperatures tend to be warmer than in other Saskatchewan lakes, which suits the bass just fine, as they thrive in warmer waters.

Members of iFish Saskatchewan report that rubber frogs are a good choice of lures for bass. The weedier south end is a great place to start and the spillway is another consistent summer spot.

Although bass are among the lake’s claim to fame, the lake also supports good walleye and pike fisheries.

Pike will often be caught on the same lures that reel in the bass, and anglers here will often use heavier gear for bass, knowing that the pike will be waiting as well.

The Estevan Wildlife Federation hosts a walleye derby every year, with proceeds going towards enhancement of the Boundary Dam Reservoir recreation site.

The Estevan Wildlife Federation Boundary Dam Opening Day Classic is held on May 7th, 2016, with prizes for the top 6 finishes. Proceeds will be used towards Boundary Dam recreation site improvements.

Writeup

Boundary Dam Reservoir is the go-to lake for largemouth bass in Saskatchewan. In fact, it is the only lake in Saskatchewan that supports a largemouth fishery. Because of this, the lake is a unique destination and is hugely popular. Moreover, due to the nearby power plant, the water is much warmer when compared to other lakes in the area. Bass enjoy this warm water and are therefore able to thrive. Originally stocked, these fish have been able to survive and now make up a very healthy fishery. Mike Halirewich from the Estevan Wildlife Federation says that mid-summer is the best time of year for bass, however anglers may ice fish for them as well. Keep in mind that the northern two-thirds of the lake never freezes over. The weedier south end is a great place to start and the spillway is another consistent summer spot. Halirewich recommends anglers rig up with leeches or worms. Top water baits work well and also provide an exciting show for fishermen. He says that bass love to hide in underwater structures and suggests casting into the shallows the the lake. They are most active during dusk and dawn. The Estevan Wildlife Federation traditionally hosts a tournament in early May. Prizes are awarded for the top six finishes, and proceeds go towards Boundary Dam Recreation Site improvements. As well, they are hosting a Wildlife Camp in July and August. See the Estevan Wildlife Federation website for details at estevanwildlifefederation.com. Make sure to stop into the Canadian Tire in Estevan before heading out on the lake. The store is stocked full of products tailored to the needs of anglers in the area. Stop in at 200 King Street to get some local knowledge, or give them a call at (306) 634-6407. LAKE ACCESS There are several different access points for Boundary Dam Reservoir.
