The Red River of the North between Lockport and Selkirk Manitoba offers the greatest catfishing on the planet. A day on the water with expert catfish guide Donovan Pearase of Blackwater Cats Outfitter will be your trip to remember for the year! On this catfish Mecca the cats are both powerful and plentiful averaging 15 - 20 lbs each. The goal is to provide you with a fun trip full of big fish, good laughs and great company. One battle with the bottom dwelling fury of the Red River will leave you wanting more! if your arms can handle it!

Both half day and full day trips are available, morning, afternoon and evening, with all bait, gas and equipment included. All that our guests are responsible for is their Manitoba sport fishing license, food and drinks (no Alcohol permitted). 
 
 The Blackwater Cats Difference:  You can get a fishing guide to take you catfishing or you can get a catfish guide that knows the river like they know their own backyard. Blackwater Cats works hard to ensure that you have a great day on the water. From seasonal catfish movements and bait selections to specialized techniques and presentations we spend as much time personally fishing the Red River for catfish we do as a Red River catfish guide.  As an added bonus Donovan is on the Quantum Fishing pro-staff team and uses nothing but top quality Quantum equipment. Guests of Blackwater Cats can look forward to using a variety of quality Quantum rods and reels perfectly suited to catfishing. Once you step into our customized catfishing boat your in for a great time.
