The fishing industry dates back to the late 1870's where Lake Winnipeg was
one of the largest and most important fresh water fisheries in North America,
supplying whitefish, pickeral, sauger, sturgeon, pike, tulibee and goldeye. A
former ice house, is filled with displays which interpret the commercial fishery
on Lake Winnipeg. The Fish Station includes an old Yawl and Bombardier
along with many of the tools used in the fishing process. To top off the
visit, a delicacy like fresh pickeral may be purchased from local fishermen.
Located in Hecla Village, off PTH 8. Admission free. For further information, contact the park interpreter at (204) 279-2056. Mailing address:
