  Had a great time today with my family. Our guide, Donovan, was very knowledgeable and great with our kids. We were fishing for cat fish and we caught... read more many! Also he took the time to teach the kids how to handle reeling in these big catfish, as well as how to cast for gold eyes. His boat and equipment were exactly what was needed and he was prepared for the day. I would highly recommend Blackwater Cats if you are in Winnipeg( he is roughly 45 minutes out)!! Thanks Donovan for a great time and a day we will never forget!

  Dono is pure gold in fishing and in personality. I can't say I've met many people who I enjoy so thoroughly in the eight hours of meeting him.

Thank you so much for all the laughs, this day will never be forgotten.

  We had 3 people in the boat, and caught multiple master angler Cats. Everyone had fun and we saw tons of fish. These fish know how to put... read more up a fight especially the massive ones. Donovan was great to guide with, and explained everything. A return trip is a necessity!

  Great day Cat fishing on the Red River.
Weather was excellent, Donovan was a great fishing guide and he know's the river extemly well. We had a slow... read more start but we ended up catching 18 catfish in 4 hours...wow! I will highly recommend Balckwater Cat's Outfitters.

  A friend and I spent an 8-hour day on the water with one of Donavon's guides, James. By all accounts, this season has been a bit slow by the usual... read more standards, but James worked hard to find the fish, and we ended up with 37 cats between the two of us. The biggest was over 37", with multiple fish over 34". The smallest we caught was about 28", and it was the smallest by far.

For anyone in Western Canada who enjoys fishing, this trip is something you should experience. And Blackwater Cats is definitely the way to go. Awesome experience.

  Awesome time with Donovan. Between four of us we caught a lot of cat fish. Twenty five we 34 plus inches. I was able to catch a 38 inch cat,... read more making that my new person best. We were out for eight hours but I can tell you it didn’t feel like hours between all the fish and all the laughs nobody had time to look at their watch. I would highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Blackwater Cats.

  Spent a great morning battling monster cats. Have fished with Blackwater Cats a couple of times and both times we brought in a number of master anglers including a massive... read more 37.75” beast. All tackle is provided. Big thanks to our guide Ken who consistently put us on the fish.

  This was my 2nd trip with Blackwater Cats and Ryan was our guide again on Lake Winnipeg. Ryan busted his butt to get us on fish and we caught... read more a lot of fish and a lot of big fish. 6 of our 8 guys caught personal records (including my 30.5" walleye). We had 1 day in which we caught 15 walleye over 25". The thing I find impressive is how all the guides work together to find fish.
Great time, looking forward to next year.
