FISHING

Winefred Lake Has Long Been Known For Its Trophy Walleye And Monster Northern Pike.

Winefred Lake is famous for consistently producing better than average Northern Pike. Days with multiple fish over 40” are not uncommon and fish over 30lbs are caught every year. Winefred Lake has excellent habitat for pike to spawn, grow fast and get very big. 

NORTHERN LIGHTS

We offer Northern light viewing year round. Our peak viewing is from July through September. It is said there are around 300 nights of the year (if the conditions are right) for the potential of lights to be seen. We offer a variety of packages paired with fishing or wildlife watching.

WILD BEAR VIEWING

The black bear is native to North America and is found primarily in Canada and the U.S. There are 16 subspecies which differ slightly in appearance & colors. The area surrounding Winefred lake is some of the best habitat in the province for black bears and we are fortunate to have many color phase bears in our area. On tour you could see several color phases including brown bears, black bears, and cinnamon or blond bears.. oh my! They are great climbers, love to eat and very curious. 

Fly Fishing

The most spectacular fishing on Winefred is casting streamers for truly giant Northern pike especially early or late season when the water is crystal clear. Hooking one of these 40” plus monsters is not for the faint of heart, set the hook and hold on! A rod in the 8-10 weight range with an aggressive tapper suited for casting large streamers imitating bait fish is recommended. Steal leaders are a must. The great thing about fly fishing on Winefred for big pike is there are also plenty of fish in the 2-12 lb range to keep you busy while hunting for THE BIG ONE!

ICE FISHING

All species of fish that inhabit Winefred are in their prime having feed all year to prepare for the long winter ahead and for many the spring spawn. Winefred lake has a strict no bait policy, so anglers need to have the right lures and move to find fish. The Northern pike this time of year are huge especially the females. Walleye’s are typically picky this time of year but once they are located and enticed by the right hook the fishing can be excellent! Possibly the biggest draw for ice fishers on Winefred is the whitefish. They are easier to catch this time of year than any other. Typically anglers will focus on deep holes using sonar to locate fish. Whitefish in the 3lb plus range are not uncommon. Again one of the best eating fish, especially during the winter from the ice cold water.
