Saskatchewan is home to over 100,000 lakes, rivers, and streams, and boasts a variety of fish species and some of the best trophy fishing in the world. Angling in Saskatchewan is a popular activity for all ages, particularly in the summer months. Before heading out to your favourite fishing hole, ensure that you’ve consulted the Saskatchewan Anglers Guide for the most up-to-date information on fishing licenses for provincial residents and visitors. As well as information on the type, number, and size of fish you are allowed to catch. Not all waterbodies in Saskatchewan hold the same limits and some require the use of barbless hooks.
If you have witnessed or suspect that someone is in violation of the fishery regulations, call the Toll-Free Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment Turn In Poachers & Polluters Line 1-800-667-7561 or #5555 from a Sasktel cellphone (phone calls only, no text messages). You can also report online at saskatchewan.ca/tipp. Remember, you can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward if your information leads to a conviction.
