Moosomin Lake is a popular spot for anglers year round. Ice fishing and summer fishing are both productive for perch, walleye and pike. Moosomin Lake is ideal pike habitat. Grassy shorelines and shallow spots give the predatory pike lots of places to lurk. Lures that resemble bait fish are good to try. Cast towards shore and retrieve in short jerks. Make sure your line is heavy enough to withstand the razor teeth on these feisty fish. There are limits on pike in Moosomin Lake. Currently, the limit is three. Walleye fishing in Moosomin Lake can be a treat, especially if you’re ice fishing. During the open water season as well, jigging or trolling crank baits can bring in the fish. Moosomin Lake is stocked with walleye. As this is designated a CR1 lake, the walleye limit is two. There are several different spots that can be especially rewarding. Just south of the park, along the west side, can be a good place to start. Also, the east end of the dam, or the bridge along the west side are all good places to cast your line. Moosomin Lake supports a good population of perch, too. The limits for these are higher, set at ten. LAKE ACCESS From Regina, follow Hwy 1 east for about 220 km to Hwy 8. Follow Hwy 8 south to Hwy 709. Turn onto Hwy 709 west and follow the road to the lake. Facilities include day-use areas and a boat launch.
