Flin Flon

Ice is on in the Flin Flon region of MB. Some bigger lakes have less ice than is usually the case. 

Ice making is slow

Trout are still accessible but it's not making a lot of ice these days. 

Electronics

Great electronics on ice!

Ice time!

Not giants but a couple more trout from our ice opener. 

Seminar #2

If you're interested in picking up a few tips for lake Winnipeg Winter walleyes, I'll be giving a couple of seminars on the 19th  and 20th of December at Cabela's Winnipeg (the weekend prior I'll be giving my first seminars on "Ice Fishing Manitoba" at the same location)

Seminar #1

My first seminar of the season.... I'll put up a few reminders between now and then. Hope a lot can make it out.

Afternoon bite

Some afternoons were quite good too...

Morning walleye bite

The morning bite was good most days. 

A good season

For the next week we'll celebrate what was a fabulous season for greenback walleyes on the Red River in Manitoba.

Incidental catch

Incidental pike 😉 Just loved this Fall in MB!

Last open water catch

Nice catch of greenback walleyes. The bite did tail off towards the end of the day this particular trip.

Bait for walleyes

Live Minnows have also been effective this Fall..

Warmer weather continues

Fantastic weather forecast for this weekend....more open water walleye to chase!

Colder water walleyes

We'll be needing the "Ice Armor" soon to chase down these beauties....

Interpretation

What you see on the graph isn't always what you think (or hope) it is!

Blue and Green need to be seen

After 11 days with no Sun it was great seeing some blue sky and beauty green.

High Season Greenback Fishing

Walleye (or as we call them - "greenbacks") are biting with regularity on the Red River MB right now. 

Fall time pike on the Red River MB

Pike are also a part of the Fall fishing experience on the Red River MB

Greenback fishing is on!

Today the greenbacks were the best they've been in a while. Bigger fish were there but were reluctant to hook up. 

Sauger from the Red River

Most of our saugers on the Red River don't show their black patches until they've been out of the water for some time. This one however I had them out from the time it left the water.
