North Saskatchewan River Report
Updated: July 22, 2024
Water levels are stable and clarity is improving steadily after recent rains. Walleye are showing strong activity in the early mornings and evenings, particularly near deeper holes and structure. Goldeye are hitting consistently on small spinners and bait throughout the day. Excitingly, a few nice sturgeon ranging from 4-6 feet have been reported near the High Level Bridge and further downstream. For the absolute latest hot lures and techniques, cast your line our way in-store!
