Freshwater drum an interesting Manitoba fish – Winnipeg Free Press
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Early summer is one of the best times to catch Manitoba’s most interesting fish. With that in mind I picked up friend Jim Price from his house in Portage la Prairie early this week and headed up to the government boat launch on the Whitemud River. | Jim was without a boat, having bashed his motor on a rock a week earlier in the low water conditions while trying to get out to the main lake. His lower unit was taking on water, a condition that will require fixing. | With a ton of rainfall, combined with several days of north wind, the water level in the Whitemud had returned to normal levels, which made this journey a lot safer. Price had also assured me the walleye fishing out in the lake had been spectacular for the last couple of weeks. He did mention he hadn’t been out in the week because of the boat damage, but friends had still caught lots of fish. | After launching, we slowly motored out to the mouth, into the lake. While the wind was blowing from the northeast, it was a manageable strength to be able to fish. There were four boats already out, but as we started trolling with small crankbaits, all of them made their way back to the river. We hoped that wasn’t a bad sign.
