Winnipeg 2018

No alkyhaul on the ice is how I understand the law.

So I’ve been searching for the last hour to no avail so I’m coming to you for the answer. We are bringing up a permenant fish house with a bed and bathroom. I’ve read that it’s legal to have a beer in a permenant as long as it’s a sleeper and has a bathroom, but I’ve also read that it’s a fine of anywhere from 100 to like 7-800. We’re not raging alcoholics, just might want a blue tasty with the fish fry in the house after we’re done fishing, won’t be driving anywhere and no lines in the water. Was just gonna call the Manitoba DNR but figure I’d check here to see if anyone else has already looked into this. How about having it there to cook with?

I thought it was no alcohol on the ice no matter what. Another heads up, I think its illegal to sleep in the house on the lake too.

Can we preorder for next years production then?

I can mix them in to the summer orders. Just let me know.

I’ve heard that, but once again have heard both ways. I’ve read and reread the current fishing guide for MB and it doesn’t specify. Why is it so hard to find these regs? Maybe it’s just me. Can anyone anyone direct me to where it says one way or another on any of these regs? Don’t wanna be ignorant about it, just wanna be legal and have fun without worrying about this.

Not aware of the regulations on Lake Winnipeg. You guys talk about big fish and talk about eaters. What can you keep and take across the border? What are the size limits for keepers and is the soft water fishing in the summer anything like the ice fishing?

Going to be up there the next two weekends. Reports this year have been awesome...I sure hope it keeps up. Rigged up my rods last night, as you can see the Live Target gets used about 90% of the time. Lots of teeth marks on that lure!

Fine is almost $700 for booze on the ice, no joke.
How dumb is that.
Bite has been slow past couple days.

We're going to need to change that setup.

That's crazy! I'm not saying thats a bad thing, just real steep. Were you able to find that anywhere online or is that word of mouth? Would just like access to that kinda info for future reference.

I'll have some DH custom lures borrowed from Tommyboy as he won't make it this year. But yes, I need to get a few of my own for sure!

Brings up something I've wondered about. Seems like all I hear about is the south end and the mouth of the Red.

Anybody ever tried that Traverse bay and the mouth of Winnipeg River for late season ice?

Nope. Falls under the open liquor laws here. Fines run 700-1000. No alcohol on the ice.

Sleeping on the ice is perfectly legal.

 

[Bfishn]

Sleeping on the ice is perfectly legal.

Just don't you dare have any fun while doing it. Seriously though, i think i have heard of guys parking their sleeper on shore up at Winnipeg so they can legally have some beverages.

You would still get popped for open liquor. Shore or not.

 

[Lungdeflator]

We have stayed in the wheelhouse out on the lake the last 3 years. Lots of people doing it now.

One thing next year if we do another 4-5 day trip, I am going to take a day and run up to the "narrows" area. Looks like another 1-2 hr drive north. Hecla and Fisher bay area.

Dauphin and Bloodvein rivers look interesting too in that area.

Is this a fairly new law or is it an old law ? It seems crazy that you can't have a beer while at the lake but you can smoke a few joints if you want to. It's the complete opposite here.

 

[Upnorth]

Always been in place. Just luck of the draw on if you get caught.
