Fishing season is now wide open, and this long weekend will see some local anglers get out on the water.

     Sports Trader Plus owner Ivan Dugan says there has been some good fishing in the southwest, particularly at Sask Landing and Lake Diefenbaker, with plenty of walleye being caught.  He adds that Duncarin Dam and Lac Pelletier have been slow to get going, but are starting to pick up now.

     Dugan says traditional live bait like minnows, leeches, and worms have always been a can't-miss option for fishers, despite all of the new stuff coming out.
