Access & Rules at Bushell Lake

Night fishing: No Manitoba-specific night-fishing rule was confirmed in research -- this is not the same as a confirmed absence of a ban (as established for Ontario/Quebec/BC). Check current Manitoba government angling guidance before fishing after dark.

Boats: Permitted — check specific launch restrictions locally.

Camping: Manitoba follows the general Canada-wide pattern of free, unreserved Crown land camping, but the province's own specific day-limit was not confirmed in research (unlike Ontario's 21 days or BC's 14 days) -- check current Manitoba government guidance before relying on a specific figure.

Rules reflect provincial defaults as of this page's last update. Always confirm current regulations in Manitoba's Angling Guide before you fish.

Fishing Licence for Bushell Lake

Angling Licence: C$29.4/yr Manitoba resident (C$13.65/day) / C$45.15/yr Canadian resident (C$18.9/day) / C$72.45/yr non-Canadian resident (C$27.3/day). Effective April 1, 2026 fee schedule, three residency tiers: Manitoba resident, Canadian resident, and non-Canadian resident, each with an annual and a one-day rate. Separately, Manitoba residents aged 65+ who have lived in the province 6+ months qualify for a free Resident Seniors Conservation Licence -- confirmed still current for 2026 -- but it only covers a reduced 'conservation' catch limit (e.g. 4 walleye vs. 6 on a regular licence), not the full limit. An older archived fee schedule also listed a separate discounted (~65% of standard price) Conservation Licence tier for non-seniors; this was not found in the current 2026 schedule and appears to have been discontinued for non-seniors specifically -- check directly before assuming it's available.
