Kokanee ice fishing in Manitoba

15 Manitoba lakes on this site have kokanee 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 kokanee tips

Kokanee are landlocked sockeye that school in open water; small jigging spoons or jigs tipped with a maggot or corn, fished at the depth the school shows on your sonar.

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.
