Your Premier Lake Winnipeg Ice Fishing Guide Team
On Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba, the only thing bigger than the giant trophy greenback walleyes is the massive, featureless basin you must search to find them. Combined with constantly shifting ice ridges that require expert navigation to cross safely, the hardwater here can be incredibly challenging. This is where booking a local Lake Winnipeg ice fishing guide makes all the difference. Instead of spending your precious vacation time searching an empty frozen desert, hiring a professional ice guide team ensures you get straight onto a hot bite.
Elite Manitoba Walleye Guides on the Trophy Greenback Bite
Top Manitoba walleye guide Donovan Pearase and his expert Blackwater Cats ice team spend countless hours on the frozen surface tracking roaming schools of trophy greenback walleye. Working together as a select group of local guides and elite ice anglers, we continuously scout the lake to keep our clients on the heaviest concentrations of fish. We do the grueling scouting work ahead of time so that you can start your trip catching fish immediately.
Tailored Ice Fishing Packages for Every Angler
Blackwater Cats offers a variety of customizable packages to fit your individual or group needs on the ice. Whether you are looking for fully guided, full-service ice fishing trips with heated shelters or high-mobility “run-and-gun” snowmobile adventures, our ice guide team has you covered. Whatever your experience level or group size, we will accommodate you with a seasoned Lake Winnipeg walleye guide who is dialed into the daily bite.
