Map of The Day: July 4, 2016

Jeannette Lake is one of the mid-sized lakes located within Meadow Lake Provincial Park. Jeannette Lake supports walleye and pike, and reports are that both are decent in size. In 2015, Jeannette Lake was stocked with 100,000 walleye. The lake sees a fair amount of action and it seems that evening fishing is more productive in the heat of the summer. iFish Saskatchewan members suggest that the northwest shore is the place to target walleye later in the evening. Earlier in the spring, walleye may be found in the southern part of the lake, but as it is quite shallow, the fish will tend to congregate more in the north, especially moving into the summer months. Throughout the year, pike can be found in all areas of the lake. While reports suggest that the pike in Jeannette Lake are not overly large, they are fairly easy to catch and often go after nearly anything you offer. Please consult the Saskatchewan fishing regulations before heading out. Jeannette Lake has a limit of 3 walleye. Along with Jeannette Lake, there are several other great fishing spots in Meadow Lake Provincial Park. With 25 lakes to choose from, many of which are stocked with fish, there is sure to be something in the park for every angler. Several of the lakes are profiled in this guide.
