Seasons & limitsSouthern Division
No species survey has been published for this water, so these are the Southern Division's seasons as the guide states them — they apply here whatever swims in it.
Ice-out here is typically mid May (modeled from regional ice records).
| Species | Season |
|---|---|
| All Other Species | Open year-round |
| Lake Sturgeon | June 16 to and including April 30 |

Division seasons transcribed from the Manitoba Anglers' Guide 2026 (in force April 1, 2026). The guide is itself a summary — the regulations in force, not necessarily those in the guide, apply. Waters can carry their own rules; confirm with the official guide (PDF) before you fish — and with the current publications page if a newer edition is out.
