It does depend what you mean by Northern Saskatchewan. The lake I'll be going to about the same time has ice off in early June, and we do NOT have to go deep at the end of June/early July. We long line 6" spoons (Williams, northern king, Len Thompson) in chrome with blue and white highlights. We also use large Tomics (salt water lure). We have manual downriggers if needed. The trout seem to relate to the edges of drop-offs into deep water that top out at 5-10 feet of rock bottom. Can catch the all day long, but early and late seems to be the best. I use baitcast rods 7 to 7.5 foot rods with medium heavy action with Abu Garcia 5500 or 6500 baitcast reels taking line in the 15-25 pound class.
