Manitoba Pike Fishing.com

Sport fishing is a term (often used interchangeably with Game Fishing) that describes recreational fishing where the primary reward is the challenge of finding and catching the fish rather than the culinary or financial value of the fish's flesh. The distinction is not completely rigid - in many cases, sport fishers will also eat their catch.

Pike grow to a relatively large size: lengths of 150 cm and weight of 25 kg are not unheard of. The largest specimen so far was caught in an abandoned stone quarry, in Germany, in 1983. It was 147 cm (4.8 feet) long and weighed 30.5 kg (67 lbs). The longest pike was 152 cm (5 feet) long (weight 27.5 kg, 60.6 lbs). There were reports in older days of giant pikes of up to 40,77 (89 lbs) and 41.5 (91.5 lbs) kg, in particular from Ireland, most of which were researched by Fred Buller and published in "The Doomsday Book of Mammoth pike", supposedly caught in nets at the end of the 1800s. The British Islands have not managed to produce much in the way of giant pikes in the last 50 years or so however, wherefore there is much doubt surrounding those claims. Currently, the IGFA recognizes a 55 lb, 1 oz pike caught by Lothar Louis in Lake of Grefeern, Germany on October 16, 1986 as the all-tackle Northern Pike world record. Northern Pikes in North America seldom reach the size of their European counterparts, however, one of the largest being a 20.9 kg (46 lbs) specimen from New York state. There are reports of far larger pike, but these are either misidentifications with its much larger relative the muskellunge, or simply have not been properly documented and belong in the realm of legend.

Of course, fishing is THE priority. Our main lodge on the shores of Egenolf Lake caters to whatever kind of fisherman you already are, and nudges you to become the fisherman you've always wanted to be. It offers exclusive access to over 24 different lakes. Whether you're looking to haul in trophy pike or try your hand at fly-fishing for arctic grayling, Egenolf Lake is the perfect place to begin and end your quest each day.

With Gangler's, you're ensured of some of the world's greatest fisheries backed by a hard-earned reputation for outfitting excellence.

If you've never been this far north, we assure you that the experience of seeing the                 terrain change below as you fly over the province is something you'll never forget. Lush green grows sparse, lakes dominate the landscape and roads disappear altogether. Your destination, the North Seal River System of northern Manitoba, is born of a series of 12 glacier-carved  waterways that merge to form over 100 lakes. That's 7,200 square miles of continuous watershed-home to uncountable trophy pike, walleye, arctic grayling and lake trout.
