Lake Diefenbaker and Area
Lake Diefenbaker is a reservoir in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada. It was formed by the construction of Gardiner Dam and the Qu’Appelle River Dam across the South Saskatchewan and Qu’Appelle Rivers respectively. Construction began in 1959 and the lake was filled in 1967. The lake is 225 kilometres long with approximately 800 kilometres of shoreline. It has a maximum depth of 216 feet, while the water levels regularly fluctuate 9 to 20 feet each year. Lake Diefenbaker provides water for domestic irrigation and town water supplies. The flow of the two rivers is now regulated with a considerable portion of South Saskatchewan diverted into the Qu’Appelle. Prior to the dams’ construction, high water levels in South Saskatchewan would frequently cause dangerous ice conditions downstream in Saskatoon while the Qu’Appelle would frequently dry up in the summer months. Fishing on Lake Diefenbaker And Surrounding Areas is One of the most world renown freshwater fisheries of the planet, growing all species to World Record sizes, Rainbow trout in excess of 48lbs, 20lb Walleye, 40 lb Northern Pike, 25lb Burbot and Whitefish over 10lbs have been caught by anglers and netted by biologists who regularly monitor the fish population in the lake.
