Last Mountain Lake

Last Mountain Lake, in Saskatchewan, Canada, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Last Mountain Lake usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

Fishing Techniques

• For Walleye

  Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as walleye are typically more active during these low-light periods; use a slow, deliberate retrieve, as walleye often prefer a subtle presentation.

• 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.
