Lake Irwin

A small lake just southeast of Neepawa, Lake Irwin is a stocked pike-and-perch water the province has supplemented with adult northern pike and perch. It is a simple, close-to-town option for a quick outing rather than a destination fishery. Expect modest-sized pike and perch with easy access from Neepawa.
