What better way to start our 2017 Manitoba Fly Fishing Season than to go out on April 1st
Splake and Perch Fly Fishing Manitoba
What used to be a fun Brook trout lake has turned into a crappy splake and perch lake. The idea is that splake can grow bigger but that doesn’t happen in the eastern shield lakes. So we get stuck with limp washed out fish on a pretty lake instead of pretty fish on a pretty lake.
