Zero fish. Fished from 9:30am to 4pm

Boss Hill. Very Sandy.

Buffalo Lake is a very productive lake, producing a high number of northern pike, with the odd burbot for anglers to catch. As one of the “last good places to fish for pike going east” anglers of all skill levels are sure to have a memorable experience. Scott Kallweit, local Fish and Wildlife Officer in Stettler, recommends spinners, jigs, and spoons for open water fishing. However, anglers looking to ice fish are best to use tip ups baited with smelt, or a jig. Kallweit adds there are “days in the winter where guys are catching pike all day.” A great spot to head for pike is in the narrows, located in the west end of the lake. Anglers can find a high density of fish in the area. However, be sure to familiarize yourself with the regulations before heading out, as west of the narrows is catch and release only. Shore fishing is available at the Narrows Campground as well as Rochon Sands Provincial Park. Due to the large number of fish, this is a great place to bring kids. There will be a Kids Can Catch Event on July 7th, 2018, from 9am to 12pm at West Stettler Park. LAKE ACCESS There are a number of boat launches surrounding the lake, however the most popular is located at Rochon Sands Provincial Park. This is a public launch with lots of parking. From Stettler, head west on Hwy 12 for 12km before turning left onto Hwy 835. Follow until you reach the park.
