Lac La Ronge

Lac La Ronge sits in Saskatchewan, Canada and offers the kind of structure-driven lake fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Lac La Ronge come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Yellow perch

  When perch are finicky, downsize your bait or lure and use lighter line to increase your chances of getting a bite. Focus on areas near weed beds or drop-offs as they often hold schools of perch.

• For Lake char

  Target lake trout in deep, cold water during the summer months, focusing on areas with structure or drop-offs; use a fish finder to locate schools of fish and baitfish.
