So tried to fish Saddle Lake, as I did fish it in 2015. Big sign at the East end of the lake where we used to drive on "NO MOTOR VEHICLES ALLOWED ON THE LAKE". I guess that means sleds and quads as well because there wasn't a track on the lake,

according to the general sportfishing regulations permission is always required before entering or crossing Indian reserves ( from appropriate band council) to gain access to fishing waters.

Do we need permission to fish on saddle lake .

Ice Report: 12 in
At approx 200 yards from the main beach area.

Like they can't own the lake so just because they drink out of it doesn't mean we can't fish in it they think they own everything but they don't so??!!!

I think this is bs if it is in the Alberta fishing regulations it's the governments so the native have f all to say !!!!!

Lake is not very good, don't waste your time. Was told to get off the lake as they use it for their drinking water for everyone. Told there was many other lakes to fish. Not worth the effort!

Wrote a Letter to the Chief of Saddle Lake asking for permission to fish the lake. The response I got was this "In response to your mail dated June 4, 2015, we acknowledge and appreciate your request for permission to fish on Saddle Lake. Our lake water is being used as a source of drinking supply for our Nation, therefore NO one is allowed to fish on Saddle Lake. We thank you for your request" Sincerely, Leonard Jackson

Do you need permission to fish here? It's on a reserve

Is there really a monster here

Is there white fish in the lake? Thx.

Antony been out recintly I was thinking of heading out Friday.also has anyone fished for Pearch herd in the winter or is it mostly just Walleye

Hey ice thick enough yet

Hit up Saddle lake last weekend. Caught about a half a dozen keeper sized pike (my buddy kept two.) In the hours before dusk it was walleyepalooza on the north shore. Short casting jigs with dew worms and was catching with almost every cast. None were large enough to keep, the largest being about 44 cm. Very healthy lake, seems to not be under serious pressure - under fished. We accessed the water at the beach on the east end of the lake. Locals friendly an inquisitive. Sonar showed fish all through the water column even at depths of fifty feet or more.

Awesome sunset there today! How do you get on this lake?

can you drive out or is there too much snow?

in this lake theres no net fishing & no motor boats also doesn't matter who fishes here no permission is required just remember to have fun and don't take what you wont eat.

just take what the limit is & don't litter & theres lots of parking available at the north east side of our lake,and the people are fine in saddle lake same as anywhere else.
