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.

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...

Great video. You kicked some butt out there.im happy to see your persistence is paying off. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Good luck in your next outing. Maybe I will run into ya out fishing sometime.

Awesome job man you absolutely crushed it!

Taking notes here
:test:

That is very true!

Thanks for sharing! And again very enjoyable vid!

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

Its like biking on a highway with a narrow shoulder. If you want glass there are plenty of smaller lakes without powerboats on them. It's not that they don't care, its just that they have a power boat and boats make waves.

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.

Thanks RACKER, Ben and Vook!

Glad you guys enjoyed the Video! And I hope to see you out there with a bent rod in your hands sometime!

I got the worlds cheapest fish finder. It's basically a Tamagochi lol. It gives me a fairly reasonable depth reading but that's about it.

And thanks for the tips!
