The stretch of the Red River between Lockport and Selkirk is world famous for producing huge catfish providing anglers with adrenaline rushes cast after cast. Invasive Species These unwanted, non-native species threaten fish, wildlife and waterways. They’re extremely difficult to control and eliminate. Zebra mussels are a big threat to Manitoba’s waters. Prevent the spread by removing all plants, animals and mud from your boat and then rinsing it using high pressure. Drain all the water and dry your craft for several days. Be sure to dispose of leftover bait in the garbage. Head north of Winnipeg for about 15 minutes and let the fishing begin! Join the anglers along the shoreline where you’ll pluck out walleye/pickerel, sauger, yellow perch and freshwater drum. But really, this is catfish country . Big channel catfish country! LET’S GO
