new to slave and walleye

[mark-edmonton]

I will be working in slave lake starting this coming Monday. As the title says, I would like to do some fishing. I will have a boat soon, but not til the 15th. Where could I go to fish from shore next week in the evenings. Also is there a Gym in town?

Any info will be a big help.

I don't know about a gym in town but as far as fishing is concerned try the river leaving the SE part of the lake right beside Norms Walleye Camp. When the wind was too much for my small boat we fished the river. Good Luck. BEL

The gym is called Astrum Fitness. It's above The Brick downtown just north of the railroad tracks. They'll can give you a membership card for access from 4 am. to like 11 pm. if you buy a pass.

Try fishing at the pumphouse in the river mouth. Go north up hwy 88, turn left just before the river, take a quick right and follow the curved road to the Point restaurant. If you drive straight you'll hit the marina. Park and look off to your far right and you'll see the pumphouse. You can fish off there or off the rocks along the Point campground.

You also could try at the weir. Instead of turning left just before the bridge in the above directions, turn right. Follow a path leading away from the highway past a private log cabin, and you'll get to the weir. The limits and restrictions may differ compared to the lake. I can't remember.

Good luck, and welcome to Slave Lake.

Great, thanks for the info. You mentioned that you have a campground. Do you have any spots left or are you booked for the summer?
