Each fall walleye migrate down from the sprawling waters of the 12th biggest freshwater lake in the world -- Lake Winnipeg,
to inhabit the Red River and Winnipeg River. These giant fish are truly unique in that they are an iridescent opal green that shimmers in the light like no other walleye in North America. Locals call the walleye out of Lake Winnipeg, Greenbacks because of their unique coloration. Besides their special coloration these walleye are big. To turn a head on either the Red River or the Winnipeg River you have to be hoisting a walleye of more than ten pounds. Walleye as big as fifteen pounds are caught every year. The greenback run begins about the middle of September and continues on into November.

Unlike the "experts" out there we think of ourselves as "dedicated students" of the fall walleye (greenback) run. Let us know what you've got in mind.
Haven't caught a double digit 'eye yet and don't want to fish when it's really cold. Well, there are a few other spots also worth considering in terms of catching a gigantic walleye. Despite what many will say there are some "other" Manitoba walleye trophy hot spots. First there's the Waterhen river and then there's also other river systems and lakes in NW Ontario during the summer...Yup... big walleye aren't only caught in the "Fall" and early winter up here in Manitoba/NW Ontario.
What about "lots" of walleyes in southern Manitoba. Well we've got you covered there as well with the walleye factory that is Lake of the Prairies or Buffalo Bay (LOTW).....lots of walleye? You bet.
You've got some options on how to do it too. Come up with your own boat and receive some orientation as to where to fish or we'll supply what you need to get the job done.With our services and experience you can cut down search time to concentrate on catching more trophies "when" it's convenient for you! Our walleye guiding has some limited availability, so call early to get the dates you want!
