Cross the border into Manitoba, Canada and you'll find a wealth of fishing opportunities, ranging from the giant catfish of the Red River near Lockport, Manitoba, to walleyes, lake trout, northern pike and smallmouth bass _ to name just a few species _ throughout the province.
According to Wikipedia, Manitoba has more than 110,000 lakes covering more than 15% of the province.
Fishing all of them would be impossible, of course, but it's always fun to dream and scheme. With that in mind, here are five Manitoba fishing destinations I've either fished or hope to fish in the not-too-distant future. More information on these and other destinations in the province are available on the Travel Manitoba website at www.travelmanitoba.com.
So start dreaming and start scheming; it's time to explore.
