The Weyburn Wildlife Federation has a couple of updates in regard to the fisheries and rearing pond.
For the past few years there has been discussion that the WWF should put on a course to give kids and the youth an opportunity to learn more about fishing.
Past member Glen Fleming and Morley Forsgren thought it was something that would benefit our community and would give the new anglers a jump start to help catch fish.
This course is designed to be simple and fun, with no textbooks, and to be hands-on learning.
The course name will be called “Take me fishing” in memory of Glen Fleming.
“We plan on going through four key components about fishing the evening before the planned fishing day,” said Ryan Englot, Fish Weight / Measurer and Trophies coordinator for the WWF.
“So if you have or know of any kids who would be interested on attending the ‘Take me fishing course’, we will have more info about registration and dates on the WWF’s Facebook page in the near future,” he added.
Englot also provided an update on the walleye stocking in Nickle Lake.
“Being that COVID has made it hard for Saskatchewan fish hatchery to operate, there has been a delay in keeping lakes in Saskatchewan stocked with walleye where it is needed. But the WWF hasn’t forgot the importance of keeping Nickle Lake’s walleye population health. We are currently working on making repairs on one of the last active rearing ponds in Saskatchewan,” said Englot.
