Icebound Excursions
Lake Winnipeg (based in Winnipeg)
About
Icebound Excursions has run SnoBear rentals and guided excursions on Lake Winnipeg since 2017, operating as the sister company of Bruin Outfitting & Guide Service under the same ownership. Their SnoBears are heated, tracked machines that cross snow and ice to reach fish anywhere on the lake, equipped with propane furnaces, GPS, Humminbird sonar, and sleeved holes in the floor. Renters drive the machine themselves after a safety overview with the licensed driver; guided excursions add a driver, hole drilling, gear, and a hot lunch. They launch at access points on the south basin including south of Matlock, Manitoba. The operation has been featured in Hooked Magazine and by angling creator Jay Siemens.
