How To Find Summer Walleye | Canoe Fishing Sylvan Lake, Alberta
There's 3 lakes less then 30 minutes away from my House. Pine, Gull and Sylvan. I taught myself how to fish at Pine last summer. Figured out Gull Lake earlier this year due to the generosity of others. And now I can finally check Sylvan Lake off my list as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OcgbRcuRMc Like I mentioned in the video. This was my 3rd or 4th time on Sylvan Lake this year and I still had nothing to show for it. Not even one single bite. But I didn't give up. And I'm glad I didn't. Now I just need to find those Pike. |
I went out in a canoe once on sylvan, that was the last time I did that, too many people with big boats who don't seem to care that they can capsize you, fishing was good though...

I have caught some pike vertical jigging but not lots. You could try casting out and swimming the jig back, I have caught plenty of pike that way. Though about the only time I catch walleye and pike at the same time is when I am running bottom bouncers. The spoon in the video was too small as a rule no-0 and no-1 len t's will be your bread and butter.
Minnow baits , rattling raps and other longer skinny deep divers will work as cross over baits. Does Sylvan have the same annoying weeds as gull, if it does you can Texas rig a jig tube on a swimbait hook and run it like a near weedless jerk bait Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Tim; what electronics do you use on your canoe??
Earlyish mornings and later afternoons, as well as cloudy choppy weather; you should be able to find wally active and feeding just on the break between the green grassy weeds (17FOW) and structure, sort of a sloping bottom to deeper water. This is based upon a week ago, 67 F water and the Gkids and I had a ball. We locate with bouncers and then switch to the anchor / slip bobber. Every day is somewhat different as to what exactly they want. That said on a post rainy night, and cloudy day, with a 6" chop, they were going crazy on a 12 FOW sand flat. |
