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.
Tiger Trout Still Water Fly Fishing Manitoba
There are a of of stocked trout waters in this province. It sort of makes up for the lack of rivers, sort of.
The Tradition Continues
As stated in an earlier post, I like to hit the Whiteshell River the last Sunday of October. This year I hit the jackpot as it was very late in the month. To make it more special I used my Tenkara.
New Pike Lake for me to Fly Fish
Checked out a new to me lake. I am always looking for a small lake with now power boat nonsense to fly fish for pike. Because of the lake and not because of fishing I will return in spring.
Anton’s Lake Manitoba Parkland’s Still Water Trout

The New Max Catch $100 2 weight in Action
I keep fishing this tiny brook trout stream with my 4wt and my home built 2 weight. But I wanted a smaller travel rod so I order a 2wt direct from China. I got it for this stream and for my up coming trip to Newfoundland.
Lyon’s Lake Manitoba Still Water Fly Fishing
I have really put in my time in on this lake 1½ hours eat of Winnipeg. Over the years it has been everything from a numbers verses size lake to a size and numbers lake to a dead lake to a multi trout species lake. This day had me catching a few middling rainbow trout on my 4wt with one 22″+ brown trout!
