@@phillipbalara5670 Check very carefully, Vernon, there are 4 indigenous species of fresh water sculpin in Manitoba. Manitoba is not supposed to have Round Goby (yet!) which is a nasty unwanted invasive species from Europe. It has already made it into the Great Lakes watershed. Check the following advisory. invasivespeciesmanitoba.com/site/uploads/pdf/ISCM%20Fact%20Sheets/Round%20Goby%202013.pdf
Vernon, check carefully whether it was a goby or a sculpin. There are 4 species of sculpin native to Manitoba, and a couple of invasive goby species making their way towards Manitoba.. Here is an informative video describing the key difference between 2 genera. th-cam.com/video/ZSGKrfLdYYU/w-d-xo.html
apparently it's easier to catch them off that dock there. The conservation officers apparently feed them off that dock after stocking. Too much people walk on that dock and spook the fish though.
@@FinallyFishing The hatchery is just north of westhawk lake. They'd probably tell you. It was over 10 years ago and it was something like dog food/floating pellets at that time. I dunno if they still do it, or if it's the hatchery staff. I'd imagine because it's close to the hatchery and they're checking to see how the stocking went/checking numbers.
Thanks for the info on this beautiful lake! After watching your video we made the drive out this weekend and caught 2 15" rainbows, 2 small black bullheads, and over 30 perch. All fish were released. Game wardens came by for a check and mentioned that while rainbow trout are in the water, they rarely hear of anyone catching any that big. Beautiful location, had lots of fun catching all afternoon.
It's easy to know which pronunciation of Lyons Lake is correct - just ask the fish before you throw them back!! 😋😋 A lovely day's work at the height of summer, I'm glad you both got to enjoy that. Congrats to the wife on the PB! 🎉
Thanks, and yes that's a trout magnet. I have not been looking for them but I use to get them at Walmart. But there aren't many good fishing sections in the local Walmarts, so I would say try Cabela's.
Boy Vernon that is some beautiful looking country. It looks so much cooler than Lake Mead. PS I’m glad to see your wife still beating at the fishing game. Maybe not as many but bigger. OK tell her I said hi. We will talk to you later on.😊
Lovely body of water and great and healthy specimens. Beautiful colours. What a lovely day it was.
Indeed, thanks Joe.
Nice mix of fish! First time I see a sculpin being caught. Thank you both for the video.
That was a goby. Sculpin fish live in saltwater or brackish
There are freshwater sculpin, however you are right. That was a goby. You can tell by the protruding eyes.

Our pleasure! And after looking into it, that is indeed a sculpin, a mottled sculpin.

Good to know, wonder what they are feeding them.

That's great! good stuff.

Thanks, I will look into the fish whispering...
Sick video man! Just curious if thats the trout magnet jig and worm? If so, where can you find those in the city? Also from manitba as well

Hey Ralph, thanks. The Wife does read the comment, and we all know she's the better fisherman 😉
