Thanks to television show, The Dimestore Fishermen the fishing holes of Jim Percy and Stu Moskaluke may no longer be a secret.

The fishing prowess of two of Davidson’s most determined, perhaps even intrepid anglers, was on display last weekend with the premiere of the episode filmed at Lake Diefenbaker.

The crew behind The Dimestore Fishermen was in Davidson last fishing season, first from May 26 to 28 and then from July 21 to 25 to make an episode that featured fishing hot spots in the Davidson area.

To help them get the footage, Percy and Moskaluke took the TV crew to Lake Diefenbaker and had them fishing from their boats.

It will be interesting to see what they used to make the television episode due to the fact that when The Dimestore Fishermen were in the area, fishing conditions on Diefenbaker were less than ideal.

In fact, says Percy, “I’ve been fishing Diefenbaker for 22 years and we probably had the worst conditions we could have had in all those years.”

He said the water levels on the lake were high, and the water was very turbid. Then, the days that the crew was filming were windy and cool.

“We were very limited to where we could fish because of the weather,” Percy said.

Still, they caught some fish including walleye and perch.

Percy said they did some fly fishing and landed a goldeye on his line.
