Fishin' the Seine River proves fruitful – Our Communities

On Saturday, June 13, Save Our Seine held its first-ever family fishing derby. Two keen anglers from the SOS board (Liam and Kevin) hosted the event at John Bruce Park. They suggested sharing their love of fishin’ the Seine with other new and experienced anglers as a part of SOS’s 25th anniversary. | Despite its name and history, few Winnipeggers today think of the Seine River as a fishing river. By the end of the event, it was clear that we should. The Seine River is a small tributary of the Red River that winds for 26 kilometres through the heart of St. Vital and St. Boniface. People often assume that it was named after the Seine River in France when it may actually have been the translation of the Aboriginal word Tchimâhâgânisipi from Tchimâhâgân (meaning draw net or seine net) and sipi (river). | The Seine River’s small size and relatively shallow depth would have been ideal for catching fish using a seine net. Today, it is equally good for shore fishing. As our anglers proved, the Seine River is home to some decent-sized game fish. | Thirty-two species of fish have been found in the lower reaches of the Seine River. They can be broadly organized into three categories: ‘game fish’ are big enough to eat and are fun to catch with a fishing rod; ‘bait fish’ are small “minnows” that we use as bait to attract bigger fish; ‘Food chain fish’ are medium-sized fish that are important food for the bigger game fish.
