Lake of the Day: Greig Lake

Greig Lake is another gem in Meadow Lake Provincial Park. The campground is family-friendly and the fishing is decent. Greig Lake is known for being a little finicky. Despite its reputation, the weedy habitat supports a good pike population. Pike are not known for being a fussy species. Reports from the Alberta Outdoorsmen Forum and the Fishing Saskatchewan forum suggest that while the fishing can be challenging, Greig Lake does really well when the fishing is on. Try trolling along the west side of the lake. The north and south ends in particular are good spots for walleye. Hansen Bay, located on the north end, is a good place to start. Greig Lake is also a good place to experiment with different colour combinations and different lure options. Pike are often attracted to flashy lures and walleye tend to be more active later in the evening. Vary your approach and try to venture out very early or late in the day. Please remember to consult the Saskatchewan fishing regulations before heading out. Greig Lake has a walleye limit of 3. LAKE ACCESS Greig Lake is located in Meadow Lake Provincial Park.
