The Whitemud River is a hidden gem tucked into Manitoba's central region, flowing into the vast expanse of Lake Manitoba and offering an accessible, relaxed fishing experience that appeals to anglers of all skill levels. Located roughly 40 minutes from Portage la Prairie, this river punches well above its weight as a fishery, drawing its productivity largely from its connection to Lake Manitoba. Each spring, the river transforms into a magnet for fish moving in from the lake, creating some of the most exciting multi-species fishing in the province. Whether you're fishing from a small boat or working the shore, the Whitemud delivers a diverse and rewarding experience that has earned it a loyal following among Manitoba anglers.
