It is anybody’s guess when it will open. Hey I want it to open as I have been looking at buying a boat in Minnesota or ND but cant even have a look.
personally I do not see it opening until the number of Positive cases ID in the USA show a flattening of the curve.
Hey on the good side, there is NO market for pickerel therefore it looks like NO commercial fishing on Lake Winnipeg this year.

ENJOYIt sure is. At the end of last winter we were going to fish other lakes instead. BUT once you hook into a master tou keep going back.
Not good news, what I am being told is that when you show up at the Borderyou will be asked your plans to self isolate for 14 days and if none you will be turn back.
You can call Canada Customs and ask to speak with Immigration.Yes, very confusing. Canadians and Permanent Residents are to self isolate for 14 days. This is rapidly changing. I have a few calls in to see how this is going to work for US tourists. I will post if and as soon as I hear.
It is an amazing fishery and glad you got on fish. I am glad my recommendations on the guides worked out, Brett, James and Donovan work their butts off.
There are guides and there are so called guides.

I spoke with my friend in charge of the Patricia Beach Park. The parking lot that is SOMETIMES cleared actually is Park but he could not remember any Park personnel checking that area in the winter.He had to think about it a little bit as well as most people do not think of the turn around/parking area as Park but technically it is Park.
IF you are concerned at all park on the road as that is Provincial Highway and that is not a problem. Better yet look at Beconnia.
Not that I have ever heard and would say you do not need a permit for Patricia Beach. Tomorrow I will call my friend who is the person in charge of the parks and double check.
A suggestion would be to look at Beconnia which is just north of Patricia Beach. If you need better directions let me know.
With the snow getting so soft the ridge out of the parking lot could be very soft. Beconnia has a good parking lot and the access to the lake is much better.
The last couple of hundred yards at Pruden is breaking down quickly. I spoke with a councillor 2 days ago and asked if they would look at putting gravel on this stretch next year. NO promises but trying.
I would NOT recommend truck travel ONLY. The snow is hard but the wind has made for drifts. Quads with or without tracks or sleds would be my recommendations.
SORRY.Fished the lake this morning using info from the chip. 14 nice eaters 19 to 20″ and 1 28 1/2. Did I say I was only out for 2 1/2 hrs. Where was this chip before????
Personally I think it is more important than my flasher. It put me right on the spot I had sourced out.Looking GOOD, just wish I had not planned a trip to Lake of the Woods the same weekend, OH well I guess I will have to hit the lake this weekend, temps forecasted to be very nice (0C to +2C)
Maybe some of you will make it back prior to the end of March and I can venture out the same time.
Again Thanks for Posting.
GREAT NEWS
“Commercially supplied dead bait that has NOT come into contact with water from any water body in an AIS Control Zone can be retained by anglers for future use. All live bait possessed in an AIS Control Zone MUST still be disposed in the trash before leaving the shore, as must any dead bait that has been handled (ie hooded) or come into contact with surface water from the lake.”Long and short, if you have live bait it CAN NOT come back onto shore. Dead bait can.
Looks like the government listened to our comments.
