Gimli on Lake Winnipeg is a thriving Icelandic fishing community which was settled by pioneer Icelanders in 1875. These fishermen travel up to 200 miles by motor launch to gill-net pickerel which are filleted, ice-packed, and shipped across Canada and the United States.

Freshwater fishing in the sister lakes Winnipeg and Winnipegosis yields 35 million pounds of fish a year - a catch second only to the 45 million pounds annually hauled out of Canada's Great Lakes. Inland fisheries - which account for 10% of the national catch - are of major economic importance to the areas concerned. Above, fishermen reel their nets after a successful day on Lake Winnipegosis.
