Additional Information – Cat Eye Outfitter

As Lake Winnipeg walleye experts, Cat Eye Outfitter’s guides possess an intimate understanding of the lake’s complex structure and the seasonal movements of its vast walleye and sauger populations. They employ a variety of methods from trolling crankbaits over offshore reefs to precision jigging, ensuring success throughout the open-water season.

When winter locks the lake in ice, they transition seamlessly to guided ice fishing, taking clients to prolific areas where the walleye bite remains fierce. This year-round focus on Lake Winnipeg’s premier species demonstrates a comprehensive commitment to this fishery, providing clients with a reliable path to consistent action regardless of the month.

Where Cat Eye truly distinguishes itself is with its specialization in Red River catfishing. The Red River is globally renowned for producing enormous channel catfish, with fish regularly exceeding 20 pounds. The outfitter’s guides are specialists in the techniques required to target these bottom-feeding giants, including bait presentation, rod selection, and reading the river’s current and structure.

Cat Eye Outfitter’s unique value proposition lies in its mastery; a trip could involve a morning of jigging for fast-biting Lake Winnipeg walleye followed by an afternoon on the Red River battling powerful catfish—a combination few outfitters in the world can provide.

Their guides are adept at teaching the specific skills for each pursuit, from feeling the subtle tap of a walleye bite to the surging take of a big catfish. This makes them an ideal choice for travelling anglers looking to maximize their experience in Southern Manitoba.

The operation’s home in Selkirk is perfectly situated at the confluence of these two fisheries. Their extensive experience allows them to advise clients on the best timing for targeting each species based on water levels, temperature, and seasonal runs. Reviews often highlight the sheer quantity of walleye caught and the awe-inspiring size of the Red River catfish.

For groups with diverse fishing interests or for the angler who wants to check two major boxes on one trip, Cat Eye Outfitter delivers an efficient and expert-led solution. They embody the spirit of Manitoba’s diverse freshwater opportunities, providing a professional, exciting, and highly educational gateway to some of Canada’s most notable inland fishing challenges.
