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.

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!

					  My uncle and I made a trip up to Winnipeg this fall and spent a 1/2 of day fishing on the Red river guided by Donovan who operates Blackwater Cats.... read more We spent about 3 hours fishing and caught 21 big cats, averaging 25-30 lbs. Most of the cats were in the 34-35" ranges. The guide has been fishing this river most of his life and works hard to keep you on the fish. I highly recommend this outfitter if you are looking to catch fish on the Red River North of Winnipeg. Donovan thanks for a great experience my Uncle and I will never forget.

					  I wanted to thank Donovan and James for an excellent trip. Despite the fishing being slow by all accounts, James worked hard to find the fish, and we put 37 in the boat. The biggest was 37.5", with multiple fish over 34". Highly recommended.
