Our ever-enlarging fi shing derby season in Manitoba is a visible example of the explosion of winter sport fi shing on our gigantic lakes and rivers. There are dangers, of course, on the ice and on our summer waters, but each story of hazards overcome adds to our unique mid-Canadian fi sh- ing culture, like these following adventures. If you’ve driven onto the Red River ice opposite the #204/509 turnoff lately, you’ll agree the river bank road is long and steep.
