Manitoba Greenbacks


Joel Prunty, media manager – Last fall I traveled with the All-Canada Show to Manitoba on a moose hunt with Cabela’s Television. The timing of our hunt was perfect and the moose were rutting-hard which resulted in some trophy bulls being taken early.

The next few days I spent walleye fishing with moose guide Danny Kemball of Powerview, Manitoba on Dogskin Lake. Danny loved walleye fishing and spent most of his free time chasing Greenbacks on the southern end of Lake Winnipeg. Besides the unusual color, Greenbacks are know for their above average size and ability to get huge, with many over 30 inches.

I was reminded of these greenbacks with a great article by Chris Niskanen the outdoor editor for the St Paul Pioneer Press who wrote about ice fishing for giant Greenbacks…check it out

If you love to chase big walleye look at adding Greenbacks and Lake Winnipeg to your travels. Good Luck!
