Our main goal is to provide you with a trip to remember, full of big fish, good company, and plenty
of excitement for all with a guide who gets as much pleasure watching his guests catch big fish as he does catching them himself.. Lake Winnipeg's
reputation for gigantic walleye becomes even more realisable/accessible when ice goes on.
Ice Fishing - Lake Winnipeg Walleye Guide
When the cold Winter weather is putting Canada into a deep freeze, Lake Winnipeg is the Place to be for trophy greenback walleye
ice fishing.
Ice fishing for trophy greenback walleye on Lake Winnipeg is an excellent option for the angler who dreams of hoisting a 30” + walleye.
Lake Winnipeg, over the past 20 years, has become the go-to ice fishing destination for ice fisherman from all over North America for its trophy
walleye. So if you love ice fishing for walleye, especially trophy walleye, Lake Winnipeg offers you the opportunity at a trophy fish of a lifetime,
Dan Kiazyk of Cat Eye Outfitter will get you out on the vast expanse of Lake Winnipeg’s South basin in an effective and efficient search of trophy
greenback walleye.
You may think you can do it yourself. Sure, you probably can…but there’s a little more to getting at a trophy walleye on Lake Winnipeg
or at least you may benefit from someone who has done it for many years. Firstly, there’s safety to consider, in light of a giant lake with
pressure ridges that are an ever present issue. Secondly, the South basin of Lake Winnipeg is relatively featureless but does have locational
“hangouts” for big walleye throughout the winter months. Thirdly, approach, gear and general long term experience come to bare upon whether
you’ll be successful finding and catching fish. This is where an experienced Lake Winnipeg ice fishing guide can make the difference between
a successful ice fishing trip and a not so successful experience.
Experienced walleye guide Dan Kiazyk of Cat Eye Outfitter has spent and continues to spend a lot of time on Lake
Winnipeg searching for trophy greenback walleyes. His experience means that he will employ a strategy that will put you on large
fish each day you fish with him or one one of his guides.
Cat Eye Outfitter has a variety of trips to suit your individual or group needs. Whatever your needs, we will accommodate you and your group
with an experienced Lake Winnipeg walleye guide.
The "Local" Ice Fishing Guide Advantage
Walleye guide Dan Kiazyk spends many hours on lakes throughout the province's ice season each winter along with his friends searching for schools of
trophy walleyes on a variety of lakes. Working together with expert local walleye guides, we are continuously scouting locations to stay on big schools
of giant walleye. So instead of spending your vacation looking for walleye, let us do the work, your trip off catching walleye.
Geared up with the best equipment made by the ice fishing industry also makes a difference whether it's jigs from Northland Tackle
or awesome life like Live Target lures, Ice Team/Clam pro Dan Kiazyk and his select group of seasoned friends will set you up in warm ice shelters
heated with propane powered Mr. Heater heaters. You will also see everything going on below as you tune in your Vexilar flasher through holes drilled
by reliable and powerful Jiffy Ice Drills.
Spring walleye guided fishing trips
Depending on the direction and velocity of the wind on any given day and where the schools of walleye roam in any given year there are numerous
options for Spring walleye fishing.
These trips may involve a little more travel and longer days. You may have to change plans on where you were expecting to fish due to weather and
wind. There is an additional cost for those trips where more travel is required.
The return on time/effort invested, however, can be fishing that is without compare. Numbers and size are both something achievable in
this context. Certainly there is a more active Spring Season that is about 4-6 weeks. In general, during Spring, as with many great walleye
fisheries there are best times for giants. Late May and into early June, on the Red River, Winnipeg River and Lake Winnipeg (Hecla, Winnipeg Beach,
Pine Falls, Hillside Beach) are key times for trophy Lake Winnipeg Greenback walleye open water fishing.
Summer guided walleye trips
The Summer season is a bit more laid back, but offers opportunities that are quite remarkable.
Spring or Summer fishing on Lake Winnipeg has one larger potential drawback - the wind and weather can make fishing from a boat difficult
or not possible.
Give us a call with an idea on when you plan on coming up. We’re going to suggest some options and let you decide what works for you.
Lake Winnipeg Winter Walleye Camp
This is a brand new option for the intrepid traveler/angler. This project option has been supported by Travel Manitoba and it’s
program TIRF (Travel Innovation and Recovery Fund).
We are offering guests an opportunity to camp and fish for greenbacks on Lake Winnipeg. This option involves a balance between Winter camping and walleye
fishing. This opportunity to camp occurs between first safe fishing ice (usually around the third week in December) and the end of the fishing season –
usually corresponding with March 31st.
Depending upon your level of comfort and interest in camping or fishing we will tailor this experience to meet your expectations.
If you’d like to fish (as we do normally on Lake Winnipeg - run ‘n gun) and camp, this option will be available to you. If you would like to camp
and do some fishing as a part of your experience we can do that as well. Of course both options will have different outcomes for the guest.
We are proud to be pro-staff with these companies
