Who cares about distance if you have the time and the $$$. Catch many 10+ lb walley in Waterhen or Keeley? You can, and do, at Tobin. My best friend's daughter pulled in a 12 lb walleye in Tobin, and he caught and 11 lb'er that day. We've both caught 10's there and numerous in the 8 lb range. It's a lot of fun pulling those bigger ones up!

If they're biting, it'd be well worth the extra 2 to 2.5 hr's to me!

This from Angler's Atlas:

"Members of iFish Saskatchewan report that Keeley Lake was very productive in 2015 and into the winter of 2016. Some of the best fishing is for walleye, which can get as large as 3 pounds."


I can catch 3 lb walleye all day long 30 min's from home................
