Duck Nesting Report Highlights Mixed Manitoba Conditions
Unlimited provides an encouraging note on duck nesting in parklands, but production from prairie birds will be well below recent years regardless of rain. The Manitoba survey finds poor southern habitat with mud shores and stripped vegetation, while northern areas such as the Saskatchewan River Delta show good conditions and a dabbling duck rise. It calls for observers to report painted mallard sightings to conservation officers.
Sturgeon Fishing Guide Notes Heavy Tackle and Manitoba Hotspots
The article details how to pursue the largest freshwater fish, sturgeon, emphasizing heavy gear and specific Manitoba hotspots such as the Winnipeg River Nutimik Eleanor and Dorothy Lakes and areas near Lake Winnipeg. It notes season closures from March 31 to June 15, a daily limit of one fish, and historic records including an eighth foot specimen weighing 275 pounds at Rabbit Point in 1941 and a 119 pound Winnipeg River catch in 1964 by Herman Stripp. Potential anglers are reminded of the challenge and patience required to land this prehistoric survivor.
