  • 2017 Anglers Guide.Cdr
    Saskatchewan Anglers’ Guide 2017 saskatchewan.ca/fishing Free Fishing Weekends July 8 and 9, 2017 February 17, 18 and 19, 2018 Minister’s Message I would like to welcome you to a new season of sport fishing in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan's fishery is a priceless legacy, and it is the ministry's goal to maintain it in a healthy, sustainable state to provide diverse benefits for the province. As part of this commitment, a portion of all angling licence fees are dedicated to enhancing fishing opportunities through the Fish and Wildlife Development Fund (FWDF). One of the activities the FWDF supports is the operation of Scott Moe the Saskatchewan Fish Culture Station, which plays a Minister of Environment key role in managing a number of Saskatchewan's sport fisheries. To meet the province's current and future stocking needs, a review of the station's aging infrastructure was recently completed, with a multi-year plan for modernization and refurbishment to begin in 2017. In response to the ongoing threat of aquatic invasive species, the ministry has increased its prevention efforts on several fronts, including increasing public awareness, conducting watercraft inspections and monitoring high- risk waters. I ask everyone to continue their vigilance against the threat of aquatic invasive species by ensuring that your watercraft and related equipment are cleaned, drained and dried prior to moving from one body of water to another. Responsible fishing today ensures fishing opportunities for tomorrow. I encourage all anglers to do their part by becoming familiar with this guide and the rules and regulations that pertain to your planned fishing activity.

    Canadian Wilderness Trip Notes TRIP OVERVIEW Explore the Canadian wilderness along the Churchill River System in Canada’s Saskatchewan province. You will be taken to unspoilt remote wilderness locations where beautiful clear and relatively warm freshwater swims, some in moving water and others across open lakes, will both challenge and enthral you. Eagles, osprey, beavers, otters, pelicans and even the occasional bear are not an unusual sight. We take you to a place in time when the river was essential to the survival of the local indigenous peoples. Experience the beauty of the boreal forest, visit white sand beaches, mighty river rapids and canoe portages that have been created by hundreds of years of travel. Enjoy breath-taking views of your swims from the air on a scenic transfer flight in the ‘workhorse of the north’ -a float plane -and listen to a talk about how survival in the north is just a way of life. The meals are delicious, the people are amazing, and of course all the swims are incredible. Evenings are spent at the idyllic Thompson’s Resort with optional evening activities such as canoeing, kayaking, hiking, fishing or even take a scenic flight. WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR? This trip is for swimmers who want to experience off-grid adventures in remote, unspoilt locations. This is the perfect place to just switch off and focus on enjoying stunning swims in a gorgeous wilderness setting. While your days will be spent enjoying being out in nature, evenings at Thompson’s Resort will be your opportunity to enjoy all the comforts of home, including online connectivity.
