North Saskatchewan River Fishing for Sauger, Goldeye, Walleye 

In May I went back to the Battleford’s for a weeks fishing. One afternoon I want to try the Point and Dam in Battleford, first time in 20 years. The turf company basic killed both areas blocking the road especially at the point and the dam is really there any more. The area is all gated to boot.

Great Video man, new Sub from Indiana! I grew up Fishing the South Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, it did my heart good & brought back memories seeing you land that Goldeye.

Nice day out!! Pretty decent Sauger too. I wonder if you used some smaller hooks on your rigs with bait cut to suit that size if you might have a better chance with smaller and skittish fish? Still, a day out fishing is a day out fishing,...thanks for the "home" opener!!

You popped up in my feed. Weird I haven't seen you around. I see in the comments that we are connected to some mutual friends. I've subscribed. Ive never had much luck fishing thr NSR. So glad lakes are open now!

Glad to see you guys back at it, inspired me to try fishing the NSR again. Have never found a good spot even though I can see the river from my house lol.

Ooh an open-water vid! That was a tank of a sauger wow, congrats haha. Gotta love the multi species action on the river!

I lived on an acreage by Paradise Hill. Caught a 15 pound walleye about 30 years ago on a jig with a rubber leach. Still hanging on my wal todayl.

NSR is so under rated. In the months when it is low and clear, emerald green, the gold eye and walleye readily take on a long belly spey swing. It's big water, and a swing into the seams with a small spey fly is golden.

Keep them coming!

Great video. I also do Alberta fishing content. You earned a subscriber my friend.

Great video. Thank you.

Great day on the river. Nice

That depth finder is insanely cool btw.

And if I could. Pickerel rigs should be avoided in flowing water. This week3nd alone I snagged 2 pickerel rigs off bottom and both had fish stuck to them... With a slide rig u can snap off or snag and never have a piece of bait stuck on bottom. With pickerel rigs every snag leaves bait stuck to the bottom. Hope this tip helps minimize mortality ❤🤟

Nice to see you on to some multi-species.

Cool thumbnail.😁

Also caught a 5 pound aauger on a pickeral rig by the mouth of the Moneray River.

And lots of northern pike in the river as well

My luck with NSR is close to nill. my favorite spot is currently closed and hopefully opens soon.

Sure looks like a nice spot to wet your lines. Can you eat the Saskatchewan River fish?

Used to fish the red deer river years ago never used bait just len thompson spoons. Caught sauger, walleye, jacks, goldeye, never came up empty for fish. Pickeral rigs isn't real fishing.

Get a River Boat ... Pretty hard to beat ....

That’s a saugeye hybrid … full sauger are way more brown

I woulda brought a gold pan too😉

Ahh down at Poschers corner, about 10 plus years ago this place was a great hole, same with st John's around the cliff. Yiu font need permission to fish this spot tho, just walk down from Tha campground.

I agree with BJ on this. Pickerel Rigs should never be used on the North Saskatchewan River. They simply kill to many fish and are very hard on wildlife. No P Rigs ever. Jigs, spoons flies and Slider rigs only.

women should check health Canada recommendations regarding recommended amounts of consumption.. For pregnant women . coppied pasted.........You should not eat fish from the North Saskatchewan River more than once a week, and do not eat the liver or other organs. Pregnant women, women of child-bearing age, and children under the age of 15 should not consume the fish at all.

do you guys use bait buttons to hold bait on hook ? 🎣🐠🐡
