Does anyone know where I can buy a map of Tobin? How many acres is it, and do the waves get big? It looks like it might be close to the size of Winnibigosh.
The other question I have is how big do the waves get on Winnipeg? I've heard monstrous.
My dad has a 16' Lund Predator and father in-law a 1850 explorer. Would they work on either lake.
Thanks,
Ed
Yours boats would work at Tobin, the main lake is fairly large but watch the weather and you will be fine.
As far as maps go I have never found one with much detail, if you do let me know. Tobin is by far my favorite lake to fish.

I take it that you are referring to Lake Winnipeg. It can get mean fast. It's a pretty big lake. I have run a 1775 Pro V on it when it was rough enough but you have to be careful. I moved up to a 20 foot boat because I fish the lake alot in the fall.

I was talking to a guy on the flw and he said not many locals fish it because it can turn so fast. I figured being so long that northwest wind would be bad...So a Baron would be a better boat. Thanks for the insight.

Some Local will fish a beach bite in June / early July right after the wind has calm down from blown towards the beach shoreline? Its easy if you live close by or have a summer camp. Planning to fished in a couple of days would be tuff.
We do fish the mouth of the Winnipeg River in fall time if that helps ( Maybe 1 out 7 days not fishable in the Big Lake ) The winnipeg River part would be fishable if need be. I hope this helps you.
