Fishing Lake
Fishing Lake is a very popular recreational lake in Southern Saskatchewan for camping, cabin owners, boating, swimming, golfing, and of course fishing! There are many communities around the lake, a regional park and several reserves.
The resort villages of Leslie Beach and Chorney Beach, the hamlets of North Fishing Lake and Ottman-Murray Beach are all found at the lake.
Fishing Lake is 22km north of Foam Lake and 24km east of Wadena, and is accessible from Highway 5 and 310.
The lake holds the record for the largest Northern Pike caught in Southern Saskatchewan. "Pikezilla" was caught Feb. 9, 2009 and weighed 18.1kg (39.9lb). There is a huge replica of the fish at Leslie Beach.
The lake itself is a closed basin lake without an effective outlet. This means it is prone to flooding, after record floods in 2007 that permanently flooded parts of the regional park, flood control berms were built.
Fishing lake offers plenty to discover for families, and some great fishing without having to head way up north!
