The Mighty Greenback Walleyes Of Lake Winnipeg | S2E03 | The Canadian Angle

If there’s a fish that swims, Jay Siemens needs to catch it. In his new series, The Canadian Angle, Jay takes us along for the ride in search of walleye, bass, pike, musky, and everything in-between. New episodes every Friday at 11am MST.
Jay Siemens and Josh Mcfaddin head out to massive Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba in search of the uniquely colored "Greenback" Walleyes native to this waterbody. With the assistance of a Snobear they're able to easily travel across the massive and unforgiving lake while spending 2 days ice fishing they hope to to tangle with one of the big hungry Walleye that make this lake famous.

I need more Walleye dumplings in my life.

[@justinbecker947]

I think every outdoorsman can say the same🤣🤣🤣! Great videos man!

[@charlockprime]

Hey Jay. Thinking of taking the family up to Lake Winnipeg sometime in the summer. How is the walleye fishing during the warmer months? Thanks for the video. Those dumplings looked fantastic!

[@mcabdominal]

WalTons

[@darcywandy29]

Loved the episode with the Walleye wontons from Lake MB South basin

[@StefBeaudette]

@@charlockprime That's a tough one to answer. It's a big lake. We fished the Winnipeg Beach area about 20 times and always did great. We had trouble some days catching eaters. That's the kind problem you want. Got one master this summer. We also fished out from Hecla opening weekend and once in late season. Fishing was EPIC both times.

[@RamonOutdoors]

This is without a doubt the best series on KZbin right now. Way to go on that Walleye!

[@dehtripper]

I love extra the Canadian touch of Tim Biebs in the background. I assume your double double is hiding somewhere!

[@JaySiemens]

haha, you know it!

[@TacticoolCraig]

Josh is a boss cook. Way beyond fried fish and “smokies” . You have great friends Jay

[@aerobodkin]

The Tim bits on the dash 👌

[@evanvermette608]

Love it, being a Manitoba boy, growing up only 30minutes from Jay. Lake Winnipeg is my back yard, I've caught MASSIVE greenbacks out of that lake, huge pike and jumbo perch. Keep up the good work Jay! Love the show, and love that you got picked up with MeatEater!

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

These things gonna change everything in winter,almost better then a boat,no waves no winds fantastic fishing machines 👍🏼👑👍🏼👑👍🏼👑

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

And nice catch n release guys

[@marklambert7144]

That walleye at the end was a tank. 👌 I went perch fishing yesterday on Lake Simcoe. I’m making these tonight. But I’m going to add bacon and do them in the air fryer.

[@illmuskyhunter3313]

Jay bringing along his people as he gets famous, that's a real G. Congrats on the success brother

[@dalbert4991]

Jay and Josh are top-notch!

[@matt.denney]

Man, Jay's videography/production skills are just unmatched! Definitely a hell of an addition to the MeatEater team!

[@rexhua4833]

Haven't seen a wanton wrapping since I was a kid. Thank you! Impressive SnoBear!!

[@ianalderson9602]

Another beauty video Jay and Josh.

[@TKPencilZ]

Such a Canadian post! Walleye dumplings look DELICIOUS, definitely going to try this recipe out this summer!

[@darrensnorthernlife1184]

We are pretty fortunate to have such an incredible fishery in our backyard!

[@beaubellamy2999]

The footage of the fish finder is a really cool touch! You rarely if ever get that and it really helps to see what you’re seeing

[@mattfleming86]

I'm drooling over the dumplings.. I saw the jar of chili garlic oil and knew you were my kind of cook. Eff the cilantro though ;-)

[@joshmcfads5916]

Cilantro is only delicious to those who were properly disciplined as children.

[@fabulous7567]

Nice fish, but your boy Josh knocked it out of the park with those dumplings! Wow, I have to try that at home!

[@TylersReelFishing]

We love us some jay!

[@padronianful]

JAY IS CRUSHING IT

[@ryanbarber8700]

Wumplings look delicious cant wait to try

[@tombarrett7797]

you guys are awesome! Those dumplings had me drooling and can't wait to try that out myself this summer.

[@jevonvanvliet]

Jay - you rock!! Thanks for the awesome videos and great Canadian representation!

[@FiftyQuest15]

Those dumpling's look unreal. I do walleye, jalapeno, bacon and cream cheese in a wonton then deep fried.

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

Great video. Heading to Quinte here in Ontario on Sunday. Thanks Jay for the appetizer. Great job on the podcast this week. 🇨🇦

[@LeandreMarquisOutdoors]

AWESOME, i just love you'Re ice fishing bunker 😀😀😀it's just awesome, nive one guys 🤟🤟🤟

[@IronHops]

Those dumplings look amazing. Gotta try that out!

[@TheycallmeSI]

Been a fan of Jay for years now and after listening to him on the podcast and his kind words for North Dakota you might as well mount me on the ceiling because I'm a big fan now.

[@dbuck7250]

Epic work lads, loving the chef level catch and cooks on the ice.

[@outdoorsmanal1759]

Another banger jay! Those dumplings look delicious! Oh and nice walleye!

[@jimmykav44]

Love this series. Awesome catch n cook and a hell of a catch

[@devinpenfold2274]

So happy that meateater brought Jay on board. The truest Canadian angler ever. Das boat Canadian edition is needed asap

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Happy to see the beginning of that team,way to go guys 👍🏼👍🏼

[@outdooroutfitters3658]

Great video and thank you for sharing.

[@dallonperry3639]

If Josh is using the Slapshot I love that rod! I've landed some large-ish walleye and pike on it and it does great!

[@mathewhobson8708]

Perfect for the SnoBear

[@benklymochko6123]

I absolutely love the Damascus knife it looks like a machine of luxury just like the snow bear

[@andrewmccormick7574]

I wanna know about the knife as well. Beautiful tool!

[@joshmcfads5916]

Route 83 knives, check em out!

[@coachdewalls9355]

I am from South Texas, so this whole concept of driving across a frozen lake is TOTALLY foreign to me, but that snow bear has got to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Same for me never ever seen fishing machines like that,ice fishing for over 30 years and that things is awesome 🤩 incredible,magnificent.👑👑👑👑👑

[@tytanventures]

Excited to try this recipe 👍

[@captainpoil]

What a chef!

[@Chad71174]

Good memories , kinda miss that place 🙌🏻

[@paddleandhook]

Those wontons looked amazing 😱 great episode guys

[@B1GE2]

This is a dream trip for me and I want to try those dumplings.

[@paintfelix]

We need more ice fishing !!!

[@satanmitdengeilenbarthaaren]

So fascinated about the different colors of the same fish I catch here in Germany. The brown with bit of red color of your pikes in Canada is really worth a fishing trip 😁 Take a look at our or the dutch walleyes from lakes, deep green with dark stripes... Wonderful underwater dragons 😊

[@Paulpoission]

Been watching Jay for years. Cool to see him featured here

[@kakah0le]

Jay puts out amazing content. Great video. I wanna go fishing tomorrow now. :P

[@yellowknifesportfishingadv751]

Can confirm the walleye dumplings are deadly. I used walleye cheeks, and deep fried them. Oh man best appy I’ve had in a long time!!!!!

[@paulmoss7940]

Guys that was awesome. Thanks for showing us how the 10% do it up north.

[@erfrench87]

Never been ice fishing but this looks like how I would want to! lol

[@brngrofdeth]

Awesome! Love and blessings from Ontario!

[@rivaking4569]

Was gonna talk smack about the ice fishing motor home but you made up for it with the walleye wonton. Have to try it, but also gonna deep fry in hot grease cuz that has to be even better.

[@MonkeyOnMyBackOutdoors]

Nice dumplings! 🤣👍

[@b-d3vil16]

Jay out of all the people we know as fishermen from the internet deserves this partnership with Meat Eater. I remember the greenback express from its original debut on Jays channel.

[@mattherlitz5962]

Dang I wish there a symbol of heart I can click it 🥰! I want recipes of walleye dumpling 🥰

[@Dropzoneyyc]

DAMN, I have to make these dumplings. absolutely unreal! :) great work!

[@gs637]

Excellent episode, thanks!

[@suhailhabibzadah8634]

17:55 that right there is a copy of an Afghan dish called Mantu

[@isaachofer753]

Excellent video Jay, love your videos!

[@hatzlmike1]

Such a cool rig

[@TheBankersSafe]

Jay is the best

[@Steve_643]

That’s a cool rig to do some ice fishing in

[@ChooseFreshAtSubway]

Legit one of the best meals I’ve seen cooked on all of MeatEater 🤝

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

I think this channel is even better that your other one if that can even be possible. Great fishing, and I'm going to try those walleye dumplings 100%.

[@emmetklaus2577]

This series is awesome

[@natew9647]

Love seeing jay on here! Would be great to see a video of him and Justin Jenkins on here!

[@Gsr2011]

What a cool machine

[@joef.2908]

I had a feeling Jay was going to mention the heat of the chili sauce lol. He doesn't seem like a spicey guy ..

[@TacticoolCraig]

Jay Siemens is to ice fishing , what Drake is to music . Both Canadian and both kill their respective fields. Let’s get 10000 likes to see Jay take Drake ice fishing

[@alexehhhh]

Snobear looks sweet! Like the ice equivalent of a boat. Jay, if you're ever in SK give me a shout. Lord knows I need some fishing education and I know a few places

[@Workliverepeat]

Hope to see wiebe out on the Canadian angle.

[@davejack8973]

ANOTHER FIRE EPISODE MAN ... that poor battery on that auger tho..... :( MUCH LOVE #CanadianBrothers

[@fishinfool247]

first day up there i got a 29.5 crazy fishery 45 and raining one day then 30 below wind chill the next and still nailed um love that lake

[@jozf8163]

Ok, I am seeing way too much dinner being relegated to "maybe later"!!!!

[@andrewmccormick7574]

Great video as usual Jay!! Josh, tell me a little about your beautiful piece of cutlery. I have a couple Shun’s that I love.

[@joshmcfads5916]

Route 83! Check them out, amazing blades.

[@forestcityfishing4749]

Bring crescent pliers to grab the skin at the tail. You wont waste any meat, and its far easier to get a grip.

[@keithbrass8350]

You ever break through and almost go down 😏🤘✌️

[@devindrawenek641]

Eating good.love it

[@triplehelper6944]

This mn boy loves lake Winnipeg and Winnipeg beach and the Pilsner beer haha

[@TacticoolCraig]

Never use a slap chop. Nice knife work . Jay watch as he doesn’t use a shovel as a plate lol

[@TheEzrider403]

Nice !

[@FishingNativeWaters]

I need to get ahold of josh and book a trip!

[@awezomehero]

Wait this ep is fire

[@michaelcummins2004]

BadA$$ right here !!!

[@RichardCranium321]

I previously bashed ice fishing - however this looks legit fun. I don't know how comfortable I'd be with a 2000lb room/snowmobile on ice, but as long as it's at least a couple feet thick then I guess it's probably safe. Still a mental pucker factor though...

[@Prairietrucker]

Right now lake Winnipeg has 24 to 30 inches of ice and by March it can have over 4 feet of ice. The Snobear is pretty light and they float if they do break through on thin ice.

[@zacharyeltom8483]

Only need a foot of ice to put a pickup truck on it. It’s actually a pretty safe activity if you pay attention where you’re going

[@shmoligans1149]

Epic ice fishing. Makes me realize how spoiled we are out west where the walleye are invasive. Winnipeg is God's country for walleye and it would probably be easier to catch a giant walleye in downtown tri cities WA. I anticipate somebody on Pend Oreille breaking the world record.

[@cedispayingforthis]

Dude meat eater!?! Congrats bro!!

[@bustinbass78]

So cool

[@getsaucedon9313]

its always funny watching them not try and advertise for Frostbite and catch and cook XD

[@joshmcfads5916]

It’s always funny watching you not just give in and enjoy your food by absolutely covering it in delicious Catch + Cook products.

[@rodneyalaking8241]

Sno Bear! I’d put in a deep fryer, beer tap, and a flat screen.

[@zerokelvin4490]

New favorite show for like ""I'm stuck in this stupid office all day but at least someone is having an adventure"" live though others chill

[@Bpjp10]

Shhhhh keep our world class fishing a secret 🇨🇦

[@hunt_trap_fish]

Please, for the love of all that is fishing, cook a bourbot!

[@Indianadoordasher]

Great content love eyes

[@awezomehero]

That’s my city!!

[@drewandcharlie7583]

I have a hard time identifying with jays fishing cuz if i got all those fish i’d keep em and freeze em and eat em but he fishes so often he doesnt need to. I gotta remind myself of that all the time.

[@jeremybarnadyn5591]

Walleye 281/2 inches out of boyne River in Michigan

[@justinfleury169]

Jay sieman lover

[@brandonmotz5325]

I need a buddy like Jay so he can unhook and hold every fish I hook..

[@joshmcfads5916]

He’d love to take credit for catching your fish too.

[@Customi207]

Burbot is THE best eating fish.

[@gazellecarlson6543]

sweet

[@filmedbysilas]

When you're "pant legging it" just make two tiny cuts on either side of the bone line (on the thin end of the fillet) then use your hands to just rip it, it naturally rips very close to the bones all the way up, so you're wasting less meat.

[@paulwalleyefisher8983]

There was no wasted meat

[@filmedbysilas]

​@@paulwalleyefisher8983 yeah i guess not that time, but give it a try, it's just a bit easier, cleaner and quicker then cutting it out.

[@RossMIDWEST]

I know this as zippering Walleyes. Great way to get bone free filets.
