Fishing near Dauphin, Manitoba

Dauphin sits in the parkland region of western Manitoba, close to the Duck Mountains and within easy reach of some of the province's most productive freshwater fishing. Dauphin Lake — a shallow, 49,728-hectare body of water fed by seven major tributaries — is the centrepiece, widely regarded as one of the top walleye lakes in Canada. Lake Winnipegosis and Lake Manitoba lie within roughly 50 km, and the Duck Mountains to the west hold trout fisheries in their own right.
