Fishing Map
Due
to the wide variety of structure throughout the system, fish can be
found almost anywhere in the 5 lakes including Big Sand, Little Sand,
Pistol, Gunn, & Roughrock as well as the many miles of the Winnipeg
River itself.
Fish areas generally shift over the
course of the season. The season starts with river channel fishing
after the spring spawn, with the larger schools moving downriver into
Big Sand Lake area from mid-June to mid-July. By September, most of
these schools are widely dispersed, scattered in the larger lake bodies
moving in a migratory pattern upriver.
River
and lake features include mud and sand bottoms with a multitude of rock
structure in both the river and lake areas. Targeting suspended schools
of walleye over deep basins in both the river and lakes is a popular
summer method. Sunken islands offer excellent structure fishing
opportunities. Lindy rigging, jigging, long-line trolling or casting
crankbaits as well as down-rigging all work here. We recommend starting
with methods familiar to you but keep an open mind for alternative
techniques if the action slows.
Ther are plenty of
fish to pursue and as long as we practice selective harvest on the fish
we intend to keep and let the bigger fish go, the fishing can get even
better! |
