Red River Greenbacks

[AaronM]

A topic in another section got me interested, how hard is it to travel up to the Selkirk area and try for some monster greenback walleye? I'd like to try it over Christmas, if anyone has any tips or insights it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Red River-Fargo-Grand Forks-Moorhead-Selkirk-Wahpeton-Winnipeg

check out cats on the red. stu mckay and crew can get you on some serious fish.

Thanks Mike!

Yep, Mike is right on. Just call and they will do the rest. Cheap too!! Never ice fished it, but did the October run. Easy drive (for us) and good accomodations. You will need a snow machine/ATV (depending on snow) or you can drive when the ice gets thick enough and the snow doesn't...as I understand. That info comes from Stu. Good luck and go for it. It will be totally worth your while, plus they have some nice trophy pike.

Hey fishingfrengy, What parts of MN are ya from. I am thinking of making a trip up over over Christmas. Maybe be we can hunt some greenies together. I know my way around that area pretty good!

[AaronM]

Hey Shanty, I appreciate the offer! I'll be in Warroad over Christmas so just a short drive from the area. If needed, I'll have an ATV and icehouse if that makes it easier.

Your right on the lake of the woods! Lucky! I also have a wheeler and a nice house too! Keep in touch, will have to hook up if it works out

Any idea of what rates are like for winter fishing up there? I would not have a snow machine & would prefer to use an outfitters hard sided house or portables. Do any of the outfitters even have hard sided houses on the Red or Lake Winnipeg?

there are not a lot of outfitters on lake winnipeg. check out "cats on the red" and talk to stu mckay. he will be doing all inclusive fishing packages on lake winnipeg/red river. he is the guy to talk to about that area.
