Seasons & limitsNortheast Division
No species survey has been published for this water, so these are the Northeast Division's seasons as the guide states them — they apply here whatever swims in it.
Ice-out here is typically mid June (modeled from regional ice records).

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.
