Lake Trout Fishing in Manitoba

Lake Trout fishing in Manitoba is a once-in a lifetime experience. They are huge fish. A Manitoba Master Angler Trophy Lake Trout must measure a minimum 35 inches in length. Perhaps it’s their beauty. Perhaps it’s this incredible place that it draws you to – the cold, deep, clear waters of Big Sand Lake. Perhaps it’s the long, difficult fight it can take to triumph over tough lunker lake trout. All these things and more, make lake trout fishing at Big Sand Lake the classic angling experience. Known as the “dwellers of the deep,” these fish move to colder temperatures as the spring sun warms the waters. While light casting or spinning gear is suitable for the early months, you’ll need to go deeper and drop your lure lower, using either bait or artificial lures to catch the “king” as the summer progresses.
