Although there is still plenty of ice remaining on Lake Athapapuskow, there is no reason why you can’t start thinking about the upcoming open-water fishing season in Manitoba. Whether you’ve been angling since you could walk or it’s something you’ve been meaning to become acquainted with, open water will be here before we know it. And with access to some of Manitoba’s best fishing places, Bakers Narrows Lodge is your go-to destination for an unforgettable adventure! 

Manitoba Fishing Guides on Lake Athapapuskow and Beyond

The fishing guides at Bakers Narrows Lodge offer a wealth of knowledge. Each guided experience usually ends around the middle of the day, and you’ll have the opportunity to savour the smell of your fresh catch shortly after returning to shore for lunch. And while we do promote catch and release fishing to ensure many bountiful seasons, you’ll be happy to know that specific sizes can be kept and brought home after your trip. Be sure to check out the latest Angler’s Guide for more information about the upcoming Manitoba fishing season.

Early Manitoba Fishing Season at Bakers Narrows

Part of what makes Northern Manitoba an angler’s paradise is the ease with which you can immerse yourself in nature’s bounty. Our location on Lake Athapapuskow lies within the Northwest fishing division, and the season opens in late May. Although Lake Athapapuskow has specific regulations, we’ll also allow you to venture into several other nearby fisheries. No matter where you go, you’ll have a great chance at a trophy-size game fish. Our guides will be eager to bring you to the best spots for the fish you’d like to target.

Spring Fishing Season in Manitoba

We probably aren’t the first to tell you that early-season fishing can be a challenge. Cool water temperatures and unpredictable weather can make things tricky and present an excellent opportunity to experiment. Lures and techniques used during summer and fall may not be as effective, so you’ll want to have an open mind and be ready to move! Either way, you’ll become a better angler after gaining valuable experience from our guides. Your willingness to adapt will be paramount to your success, and we’ll be happy to show you the way! Furthermore, we also offer many other outdoor activities that can be equally rewarding.
