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.

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.
