Lenore Lake is an excellent walleye and pike fishing lake. Lenore Lake is considered one of the best walleye fisheries in Saskatchewan. Water levels can fluctuate on Lenore Lake, and the best fishing spots for pike can be in some of the weedier areas. The bays along the west side can be great pike spots.

Lenore Lake’s walleye can make for spectacular fishing. Standard lures and jigs will work well for catching walleye. Fly anglers may want to try streamer patterns such as Deceivers. In the early season, Woolly Buggers are reasonable choices. Walleye are known to be more active at night. Many anglers insist that the times between 10:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. are the best times. For those fishing during the day, cloudy and windy days are your best bet. On clear days the fish are more likely to be taking cover from predators. Wind and low light conditions make it easier for them to hide.

The annual Lions Club fishing derby on Lenore Lake is also very popular every winter. It is one of the few derbies that allows the use of shacks, which can be comforting if the weather is very cold.
