Minnedosa Lake
A small reservoir on the Little Saskatchewan River at the town of Minnedosa, part of the same managed system as Lake Wahtopanah. Angler reports show northern pike, rock bass and walleye as the main catches, and the province stocks walleye fry here. Its special walleye regulation (all walleye over 45 cm released) reflects a quality-minded fishery close to town.
