Management Zones and Special Regulations

Using Zone Regulation Information

Saskatchewan is divided into three management zones for angling regulation. A number-letter combination after the water's name corresponds to the map location on the zone page. All lakes intersected by zone borders fall into the zone immediately north of that border.

The waterbodies listed in the following tables have special, individual regulations that further restrict angler use. These special regulations are specific for each listed waterbody and must be complied with when fishing those waters. New regulations for a specific waterbody have the waterbody's name in red along with an asterisk (*).
