Fishing
Summer or Winter, our lakes offer up some of
the best sports fishing in Alberta.
The Slave Lake Region is well-known for its world-class freshwater
fishing. Lesser Slave Lake is home to large walleye, northern pike,
yellow perch, and whitefish.
The following are the fish
species found in the Slave
Lake and rivers:
• Walleye
• Northern Pike
• Lake Whitefish
• Yellow Perch
• Tulibee
• White Sucker
• Artic Grayling
• Ling Cod
• Goldeye
• Mountain Whitefish
• Longnose Sucker
Every year, fishing tournaments including the Canadian Tire Anglers Cup
Walleye Tournament, bring hundreds to the lake in hope of catching
“the big one” and cashing in on over $145,000 in cash prizes.
