CEDAR LAKE

Lying west of Grand Rapids, Manitoba, Cedar Lake was formed in 1968 when a hydroelectric dam was constructed on the Saskatchewan River. Today, the 1,400-square-kilometre reservoir is full of walleye, northern pike, whitefish and burbot—a fresh cisco on a quick-strike rig is the ticket for winter trophies. Moak Lodge makes for a good local base of operations.
