Alberta and Saskatchewan should be a good start.

The best fishing in Alberta is over in Saskatchewan.

Sometimes the best fishing in Saskatchewan can be found in Alberta. For example, if you are looking for stunted perch, no better place then AB. Good luck!

Based on past post over the years I would have to say Frank Lake is the spot for large everything.

See now there is where I have a problem with the internet. In one post you may have ruined the great fishery that is Frank Lake.

I am fairly familiar with the lakes in north west Saskatchewan. There are very few drive into lakes that you can expect to catch huge jacks. If you can afford a fly in trip, I would recommend Cree Lake. There are some lakes that you can drive to that have big jacks. Lac la Plonge is one of them. I have taken a 46 inch, 30 pound jack there. They are, however, not easy to catch. Best bet for drive in lake country , for all round fishing, is Buffalo Narrows. Some of you guys will be shaking your head and thinking why would this fool give away his choice fishing lakes. Those guys may want to take a look at Google Earth Maps. Peter Pond and Churchill lakes are huge. These are not Alberta lakes. A couple of years ago another AO member posted asking for a recommendation for a fishing lake in NW Sask. I asked him what type of boat he had. He said a 12 foot aluminum. I advised that a boat like that was not suited for most of the really good fishing lakes in Saskatchewan. He indignantly responded that he had no trouble with it in all the lake around Calgary.

Hehe. Huge big jacks u should be able to pick up at the nearest mechanical shop or u could go to the local lumber-mill and just yelp "Looking for a Huge Big Jack" and see if u get any nibbles. Could always try the base of the beanstalk too?! Monster Whitefish only exist in Sask and here in Alberta we don't use picks, just fingernails.

Ha I bet they had it named the S.S. MINNOW II.....

most of the good picks I've seen and had other folks (too old now and bad memories of the being on the business end when much younger) on the business / operating end of were a hickory handled number from somewhere like Lee Valley. Pricey but good quality.

Book yourself a trip to Cree River Lodge.

The number of untouched lakes in Northern SK is mindboggling. Once north of Beauval (Lac La Plonge) or La Ronge, it is fishing heaven. Any lake that is fed through a river will have excellent fishing (the rivers tend to provide walleye breeding areas). Honestly, there is world-class fishing almost everywhere. A backroads map book and a little wherewithal could easily get you a few pieces of paradise.

I can super confidently recommend Besnard Lake. It has a couple of fishing camps and a campground. The lake is also freaking HUGE! It is patrolled quite heavily by conservation officers, so the place stays fairly legit.

Look at the lake in your area then type in Pike or Lake Whitefish

then use Alberta Fish and Game site to look at yearly records where they came from
