Three-hour guided walleye and pike fishing on Last Mountain LakeProfessional guide provides all equipment and spacious Lund boatDaily departures available from May through mid-September
Looking for a solid fishing trip that won't leave you scratching your head? Last Mountain Lake has been serving up quality walleye and pike action for decades, and Tyrell Hanson knows exactly where to put you on fish. This isn't some overcomplicated charter experience – it's straightforward fishing with a guide who's been working these waters long enough to read them like a book. Whether you're brand new to fishing or just want to learn the local patterns, this 3-hour trip gives you the perfect taste of what Saskatchewan's lakes can deliver.
Your day starts with meeting Tyrell at the launch, where you'll step aboard a spacious Lund Tyee powered by a reliable 200 HP Mercury. These boats are built for fishing – plenty of room to move around, solid casting platforms, and comfortable seating for those longer drifts. You've got two departure options: 7:00 AM for the early birds who want to catch that prime morning bite, or 3:00 PM if you prefer afternoon action when the fish start moving again. The season runs May 15 through September 15, covering everything from the spring spawn recovery through the fall feed-up. Tyrell provides all the gear – rods, reels, tackle, and bait – so you just need to bring a valid fishing license and be ready to learn. The base rate covers two anglers for $600 USD, but you can bring up to four people total by adding extra guests at $100 each. Fair warning though – deposits are non-refundable, so make sure your crew is committed before you book.
Last Mountain Lake offers versatile fishing that lets you try different approaches depending on conditions and what the fish are telling you. Tyrell typically starts with bottom bouncers and spinner rigs for walleye – this classic prairie technique lets you cover water while keeping your bait in the strike zone. You'll learn to feel the difference between your weight ticking bottom and that subtle walleye thump. For pike, expect to throw some hardware – spoons, spinners, and maybe some jigs depending on where they're holding. The lake has good structure with drop-offs, points, and weed edges that concentrate both species. Tyrell will show you how to read your electronics, recognize productive water, and adjust your presentation based on what you're seeing. This isn't just about catching fish today – you're picking up skills that'll help you succeed on other prairie lakes. The Lund's setup gives you multiple rod holders and plenty of space to manage several lines, so you can experiment with different depths and baits until you find what's working.
Walleye are the bread and butter of Last Mountain Lake, and for good reason. These golden beauties typically run 14 to 18 inches here, with plenty of keepers in the 2 to 4 pound range and occasional bigger fish that'll surprise you. Spring and fall are prime time when they're aggressive and feeding heavily, but summer fishing can be excellent too once you locate their deeper haunts. What makes walleye special is that perfect combination of sport and table fare – they fight with that distinctive head-shaking action, but they're also some of the best eating fish you'll find. Tyrell knows the seasonal patterns, from post-spawn areas in May to the deeper structure they use during summer heat.
Northern pike bring the excitement factor with their explosive strikes and aerial displays. Last Mountain Lake grows some solid pike, with fish ranging from slot-sized specimens up to genuine trophies over 40 inches. These predators patrol the weed lines and ambush points, making them perfect targets when walleye fishing slows down. Pike hit hard and fight dirty – expect sudden runs, jumps, and that thrashing that keeps your heart racing. They're active throughout the season but really turn on during late spring and early fall when they're bulking up. What's great about targeting both species is the variety – you might be gently jigging for walleye one minute and casting spoons for aggressive pike the next.
Last Mountain Lake delivers consistent fishing with a guide who actually knows what he's doing, and that combination is harder to find than you might think. Tyrell's been putting people on fish here long enough to understand the lake's moods and how to adjust when conditions change. At $600 for two people, you're getting professional guiding, quality equipment, and three hours of focused fishing instruction that'll pay dividends on future trips. The season books up, especially those prime early morning slots, so don't wait until the last minute if you want specific dates. Whether you're looking to learn the basics, figure out local techniques, or just enjoy a day on the water with someone who knows where the fish live, this trip gives you exactly what you're after without any unnecessary complications.
The 2021 Lund 189 Tyee is your ticket to serious walleye and pike action on Last Mountain Lake. This 20-foot fishing machine runs smooth with a 200 HP Mercury outboard that'll get you to the hot spots fast, hitting speeds up to 43 mph when you need to chase the bite. Built for comfort during those long casts, the spacious layout gives you and your fishing buddy plenty of room to work lures and handle net duty. The Tyee's stable hull cuts through chop like butter, so you can focus on reading your electronics and working structure instead of fighting the boat. Whether you're jigging deep for eyes or casting spoons for toothy pike, this rig handles like a dream and gets you back to the dock with a cooler full of fillets.
Esox LuciusNorthern Pike are the lake's apex predators and probably the most exciting fish you'll tangle with on Last Mountain Lake. These toothy missiles average 24-30 inches but can push 40+ inches when you get lucky. Pike are ambush hunters that lurk in weedy bays, around fallen timber, and along drop-offs where they can surprise unsuspecting prey. Early season through summer gives us the best action, especially in that 6-12 foot zone where weeds meet open water. What guests love most is the explosive strike - pike hit like freight trains and fight dirty with jumps, head shakes, and powerful runs. They're not the greatest table fare, but the adrenaline rush is addictive. Here's my local secret: when a pike follows your lure to the boat, make a figure-8 motion beside the gunwale. Half the time they'll strike right at your feet. Just watch those teeth when landing them!
Sander VitreusWalleye are one of the most sought-after fish in Last Mountain Lake, and for good reason. These golden-colored fighters typically run 14-20 inches here, with the occasional trophy pushing 6+ pounds. They've got those distinctive glassy eyes that help them hunt in low light - which is exactly when we target them. During our evening trips, walleye move shallow to feed along rocky points and weed edges in 8-15 feet of water. Spring through early fall offers consistent action, but those evening bites from June through August are pure magic. What makes walleye special? They put up a solid fight and are hands-down the best eating fish we catch. My local tip: when you feel that telltale walleye "thump," don't set the hook hard - just lift the rod steady. They've got soft mouths and will throw the hook if you're too aggressive.
