The Red River in Manitoba, Canada is one of North America's most celebrated multi-species fisheries, flowing northward through the heart of the province before emptying into Lake Winnipeg. The river is perhaps best known worldwide for its extraordinary channel catfish fishery, particularly in the tailwater section below St. Andrews Dam near Lockport, where the average channel cat exceeds 19 pounds and 92 percent of fish surpass 30 inches in length. Beyond catfish, the Red River offers exceptional angling for walleye, sauger, and northern pike, making it a true multi-species destination that draws anglers from across North America. The river flows through a largely agricultural and semi-urban landscape between Selkirk and Lockport, with the surrounding area offering easy road access and a well-developed network of boat launches and fishing infrastructure.
