Ice Fishing

We know winter and we do it well, especially when it comes to ice fishing on our many frozen lakes. If there’s one thing our cold winters lend themselves to, it’s longer, abundant ice fishing seasons – even more so the further north you venture in Manitoba.

Extreme winter adventures and world-class ice angling

Access Manitoba’s many lakes and rivers and reel in a wide variety of trophy species – from yellow perch and greenback walleye, to rainbow trout and black crappie. During the winter, an ice fishing village pops up on Lake Winnipeg as anglers show off their unique ice shacks and spend the day waiting for the next big catch over warm drinks and great company.

Manitoba's ice fishing destinations are found throughout the province on Treaty 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Territory and in communities who are signatories to Treaties 6 and 10. Manitoba encompasses the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anish-Ininiwak, Dakota, Dene, Ininiwak and Nehethowuk and the homeland of the Métis.
