boundary dam reservoir we're Pete and
1:02
Peter fishing today has the potential of
1:04
producing a record-setting largemouth
1:06
bass but it doesn't stop there
1:08
it also has excellent stocks of other
1:10
species like walleye perch and northern
1:12
pike unlike most reservoirs that are
1:14
dotted with standing timber this one is
1:16
much more diverse it features high clay
1:19
banks of one end and we filled showers
1:21
at the other and if that's not enough
1:23
then that is a dam and a power plant
1:28
welcome to Saskatchewan today we're
1:31
fishing the boundary dam reservoir a
1:33
unique body of water located in the
1:34
south end of the problems I brought
1:36
along co-host of Canada in the rough
1:38
heat easy he's a good friend of the show
1:40
and a great angler in his own right
1:42
we loaded up with drop shot here and
1:44
heading out for our tote bags the
1:47
boundary dam reservoir is a man-made
1:49
body of water formed when a power plant
1:51
was built on Long Creek in southern
1:52
Saskatchewan
1:53
way back in the nineteen fifties this
1:55
state-of-the-art power plant uses water
1:57
from the reservoir as a coolant warming
1:59
the overall water temperature of the
2:00
lake and creating some really unique
2:02
fishing conditions the locals told us
2:05
that the closer you get to the power
2:06
plant
2:06
better the fishing gaps with today's
2:09

[Music]
8:35
we're approaching the boundary Dan and
8:37
let me tell you it sure ain't pretty
8:39
bare rocky shorelines and heavy winds
8:42
that are pushing the boat around a word
8:44
of caution here these are not conditions
8:45
for newcomers to the sport
8:48
cat one we all over whatever covered
8:52
we'd know there is a ridge in there
8:54
there was a fish in there
8:55
yep singular he just did a twister their
9:00
armies we'd been throughout everything
9:02
around this power plant there's still a
9:03
big hydro line right there already with
9:09
him I was right off the tip of that one
9:11
we'd bet Keith was it was on the sand
9:13
but he wasn't playing the moon-god oh
9:16
you got old look at that strategy nice
9:20
padding good job
9:21
wow this is crazy we're battling the
9:25
wind here makes it tough
9:26
I'll be seeing this Bank here folks you
9:28
see the weeds that were fishing then
9:29
it's a nothing looking Bank but it's
9:31
supposed to the powerhouse maybe has
9:32
something to do with it it's a really
9:33
shallow out here and there's these
9:35
little weed pumps we ended blowing into
9:36
it you could probably get them on jig
9:38
and take if you wanted to but we know
9:40
we're getting on the finesse stuff so
9:42
we'll stick with it
9:43
[Music]
9:49

12:43
fishing locations that you'll ever see
12:48
we've moved to the rocky shore next to
12:51
the boundary damn we're battling wind
12:53
waves and current quite a hole our spot
12:56
fishing here is definitely going to be a
12:58
fight but one that I think is really
13:00
going to be worth it
13:05
hard to work the wind key I got what
13:10
well that's pulling looks heavy

14:53
house on boundary dam reservoir and
14:55
southern Saskatchewan the wake line on
14:57
your screen will get you there remember
14:59
to always fish areas like pump houses
15:00

15:03
conditions could pop up Keith and I
15:06
dropped out at 4 & 5 inch Yamamoto Senko
15:08
x' and dark colors in order to entice
15:10
the somewhat pressured largemouth in the
15:12
section of the lake a 3/8 ounce weight
15:14
got us down quickly and efficiently in
15:16
the deep sections while a 1/8 ounce was
15:18
good for the shallows work all three
15:20
water exposed sides of the concrete
15:22
structure as there could be fish on each
15:23
