About Tobin Lake
Tobin Lake produces good catches of walleye, with fifteen pounders coming in regularly over the last few seasons, says Vince Walcer of Tobin Lake Resort. He says the hot spots for walleye are “The Hump,” Prudence Point and Serenity Bay. For new anglers looking to try out this fishery, Walcer has a number of tips to help you get started.
“Most [people] drift-fish the slopes of the main channel, maintaining 10’ to 20’ depths depending on conditions.He suggests “Lindy Rigs” bottom bouncers with 4’ to 10’ snells, with one or two hooks. For live bait, the popular choices are leeches and night-crawlers. Anglers can also try a variety of beads, spinners and floats, as well as snell lengths at varying depths depending on conditions.
Northern pike are another popular fish on Tobin Lake and Walcer suggests using spoons or crank baits. “Pike are aggressive so don’t be subtle with your presentation of tackle.” If you are fishing the river, Walcer says the best places are at Eagles Nest or at the opening of the lake. On the lake, the best place for pike is the “big lake,” and he suggests you stop into the store for a detailed map.
There are special regulations in effect for Tobin Lake to help keep the fishery healthy, like a mandatory use of barbless hooks, and a slot size in effect. Read through the Saskatchewan fishing regulations ahead of time.
