In the spring and early summer, prospective fishermen check out Coteau Bay, The Big Fill, Sage, Foord’s Coulee, and Hitchcock Bay. Most of these areas are fished in more shallow waters than walleye anglers may be used to, at times in only a foot of water. Later into the season, there are 100’s of points on the eastern half of Diefenbaker that will hold walleye. These fish will also move deeper into the center of the lake as the season progresses.
In addition to boat fishing, coulees and shore fishing opportunities should not be regarded as simply for the lure angler. In fact, walleye fishing on the fly can be some of the best that Saskatchewan has to offer. This method of fishing walleye has yet to hit the mainstream. However, those who fly fish for rainbow trout know that any fish can be caught with a fly.
There are some huge trout in Lake Diefenbaker, and it is not unusual for anglers to catch them up to ten pounds.
Trout are most often found near creek mouths where there’s some good water flow. The area around the Sask Landing Marina is another popular trout location.
