Trolling for fall northern pike on tobin lake on fishing saskatchewan
Tobin Lake is a reservoir of Saskatchewan, Canada. Tobin Lake was formed by the E.B. Campbell Dam on the Saskatchewan River in 1963. The dam was originally named Squaw Rapids Dam, but was then renamed E.B. Campbell Dam in 1988 as local first nations people considered the name squaw offensive. It is near to the town of Nipawin and is downstream from Codette Lake, formed by Francois Finlay Dam in 1986. The construction of Francois Finlay Dam earned Nipawin the nickname The Town of Two Lakes.
