Fishing

Melville Reservoir
Melville Reservoir, located just west of the city, has become increasingly popular with fishermen and the Melville Fish and Game League is striving to make your leisure activities there even more enjoyable.

Two floating docks are available, and washroom facilities have been built in recent years.

The second floating dock was installed in the northeast corner of the reservoir, just to the west of the present dock that was installed in 1995.

The League also installed four picnic tables in the same general area, along with four fire pits last year. And that’s not all: Fish and Game members have planted several varieties of trees including Manitoba maple, green ash and poplar varieties.

Not only will the trees serve an aesthetic purpose in beautifying the area but they will also have a practical purpose as a windbreak for people using the picnic tables and fire pits.

The reservoir has gained a reputation for fine walleye and perch fishing, boosted by annual fish stocking by Saskatchewan Environment over the years.
