Cisco ice fishing in Manitoba
139 Manitoba lakes on this site have cisco on record, largest first. A lake without a record may still hold them: records come from provincial open data and our own research, and are not complete. Some records are stocking records, which show what a province has stocked, not everything in the lake.

General cisco tips
Cisco school in open water and take tiny spoons and jigs; they are also a favourite baitfish for lake trout and pike.
This is general guidance for the species, written by Ice Fish Canada, not a report from any one lake. Limits, size rules and closures vary by lake, so read the current Manitoba regulations before you fish. Measure the ice yourself: see the ice thickness guidance.
