About Buffalo Pound Lake

Buffalo Pound Lake is another hugely popular fishing spot during both winter and summer. Fish are plentiful, making it an exciting lake for anglers of all ages. Walleye and pike are also resident

in Buffalo Pound Lake. These larger fish are exciting to catch and reports are that some of the hotspots are right out from the boat launches. In 2014, 672,000 walleye fry were stocked in Buffalo Pound Lake.

Ice fishing can be as popular, if not more popular, than the open-water season on Buffalo Pound Lake. Part of the appeal is that ice fishing techniques tend to be simpler because anglers can rely on basic setups. Make sure to exercise caution when heading out on the ice, whether on foot or in a vehicle, as ice thickness can be deceiving and temperature fluctuations can make it dangerous.

Along with the larger lake, Buffalo Pound Provincial Park offers a barrier-free trout pond for those who do not feel like taking on the adventure of the big water. This pond is heavily stocked with brook, brown and rainbow trout, making it a perfect spot to practise some fly-fishing techniques.

Please keep in mind that Buffalo Pound Pond has a motor restriction. The lake has a limit of 10 perch and two trout. Make sure to consult the Saskatchewan fishing regulations before heading out.

Northern Pike

This 42" pike was my biggest of the season and just a couple inches off my PB! It was a slow season everywhere this year for all species but I still managed to get a couple nice days in!
