New to Fishing - Two Questions
 

Hi guys,

I'm new to fishing and looking to learn more about catching suckers and perch. I understand the North Sask River has a substantial sucker population, does anybody know a good spot to look for them? Advice on rigs, lures, bait etc. is most welcome. :)

For perch, I was told that Devil's Lake has a few. Since I don't have a fish finder, I've been going off the depth charts and trying to feel my way around the dropoffs. Does anyone have suggestions for summer perch fishing?

Thanks in advance. :)

Suckers Galore in the River. I used to catch a bunch at Hermitage park with a carolina rig and night crawler. All kind of different suckers there.

I'm not sure if Devils is a good spot to look for perch anymore. But if you do find a lake with perch... look deeper in these hot summer months and if you find a hump somewhere in the lake try that, might be some dandies on it.

Yes suckers are ubiquitous throughout the river and I have caught some huge ones in the spring runoff season. Just a worm on a size 2 octopus hook with a 1oz weight and you're good to go. Make sure the bait is resting on the bottom though, best way to ensure that is using a 3-way swivel, one line going to the sinker to be about 20cm, and the line going to the hook should be about 50cm.
