Stay late and get Big Fish!
With the ice fishing season winding down in the southern part of the province, many anglers are making arrangements to try the variety of ice fishing opportunities in the northern part of Manitoba. One thing I would suggest is to stay late.
At this time of the year you will catch the biggest walleye at first or last light if you are fishing clear or water that has any kind of clarity. It doesn’t matter if it is a reservoir or a medium sized lake, it pays huge dividends to fish until a half hour after sunset. Usually the bite dies down at this time but not always. That’s why it is important to stay somewhere close by or even on the ice!
So plan your trip this year and I have some friends that choose to stay late at this time of year!
