Tackle Shop

 

Our tackle shop sells the kinds of lures which have proven effective in the lakes and rivers where our guests land trophy catches.

 

During the fishing seasons, we encourage you to call ahead to check bait availability (204) 473-2362.

Churchill River Lodge's tackle Shop is a  convenient stop -- We look forward to meeting you!

 

Churchill River and its surroudning lakes offer some of the best walleye fishing in Manitoba. Typical catches range from 1.5 to 4 lbs. Walleye are caught in shallower waters, 5’ to 20’ depending on the time of year and the temperature of the water. They prefer sandy bottoms and the protection of rocky shoals.  We suggest jigging with a lead head baited with a minnow, night crawler, leach, or curly tail.

 

If you are after the powerful fight of the northern pike, you’ll want to explore the many weedy bays and shorelines. Common pike catches are between 5 and 10 lbs but there are many 15- to 20-lb catches throughout the season. Pike are usually caught while trolling in weedy areas. We suggest using spoons or plugs as bait.

 

While it may seem intimidating at first, newcomers can easily access the waters with a map or GPS. The lakes and rivers have many reefs and hidden rocks, many of which are marked with buoys; however, boaters must use caution as there are many hidden reefs.
