stopped in for gas there last week, booked a cabin for Saturday but cancelled due to to the fact that Pelican was producing a jack every 2nd cast. Fellow did say he had lakers biting at 100+ feet. Also said that the lake hadn't turned over yet but we discounted that along with several serm officers we spoke with. Tobin was slooow, but several said that night jigging was producing.

I haven't fished little bear or stayed at moosehorn, but it looks ok, except that the floorboards in the public can are rotten through.

There are several smaller lakes in the area that are stocked and are good producers. For the larger lakes, Pelican is full of smaller jacks/pickeral, but is commercial fished by natives. Mirond is reported to be a better quality fishery.

I stay at a buddy's in Nipawin which is about 3 hours from Saskatoon going through Melfort. From there we head west on 55 to Smeaton corner then north on 106 (Hansen lake road) passing Little bear on our way to the Ballantyne res at Pelican.

when ice comes off, the upper water layers warm from the sun, sending the lakers deep. At some point, a combination of thermal and wind energy create vertical currents which bring the cold water (and fish) back toward the surface. This turning over of the thermal layers takes place twice on many lakes, once in spring, and again in the fall.
