Winter fishing on South Duck River

South Duck River is in the Southern Division of Manitoba's angling regulations. Walleye and sauger are open May 9, 2026 to April 4, 2027, and most other species all year. The 2026 Anglers' Guide has no entry of its own for this water, so the provincial limits and the division rules apply.

Stocked trout water. Stocked trout creeks and rivers in the Southern Division are closed to all fishing from November 1 to April 15.
