Winefred lake Early June
Hey guys.. Thoughts on Winfred lake in early June? Weather should be what?? Good fishing?
I have been trying to get in touch with them but it is a struggle. Any suggestions? Another place in Alberta as good from a Drive in POV? Saks is just to far it seems. We were supposed to go north of Laronge but we don't have time for the drive.

I was going to call Paul today and inquire about Winefred.
I believe northern sask is still closed, they had road blocks up to shut off visitors from the southern portions of sask.

Fishing should be good. Early June is pretty much prime time. Weather will be erratic. Could be 5C, could be 30C. It could be glass calm or so windy you can’t get on the lake. I’ve experienced all those weather conditions that time of year.
Let me know if you find a better drive to lake.
Sounds like Paul is pretty much booked for the year, but you should call anyways in case there’s som last minute openings.

Has anyone heard if they have lifted the travel bans to Northern Sask yet?
I looked online and cant find where it says any different.
Ill be at my lot on Turtle all weekend but would like to head further north for 3-4 days at the end of the month.

Still pretty disgusted they sold to Lloyd McMahon, the greasiest outfitter in ALL of Alberta. Money talks and integrity walks.

Crazy it was already pretty pricey , but I think that’s because they forced everyone for a boat rental with your stay.

If people can't return calls or emails or texts when you're trying to send money to their business I'd say they're not worth going to

Not sure on current pricing. But was expensive before.
I’ve been on 2 single day boat only trips there , 2 economy cabins bring your own food multi day trips, 3 full service multi day trips through work.
My suggestion though is if price is too much , consider their tent camp at sand river. I think they actually upgraded that to basic cabins?

Pauls is full till August. Winefred Lodge still hasn't returned calls or Emails. Straight up, Sask is looking better and better. I enjoyed the fishing at the Lodge last time but not being able to find out if they have room or exact prices is killing me here.

McMahon doesn’t care. He makes bank on outfitting bears and the less “locals” around fishing the more he gets away with bear outfitting.

If you want to get into Paul’s in June, you need to book about a year in advance.
