A 9 m (30 ft) high sculpture on Selkirk's Main Street underlines this agreeable east Manitoban town's claim to be North America's Mecca for anglers in pursuit of catfish. Indeed, so many catfish have been caught between Selkirk and Lockport that restrictions on fishing have had to be introduced. There is a well appointed yacht marina on Lake
Winnipeg.
Numerous bait and tackle shops are located throughout the town and boats are available for rent. Selkirk is located just up the road from Fort Garry National Historic Site and is the gateway to Lake Winnipeg's cottage country. Just south of Selkirk is Lockport, world famous for its massive Skinner's hot dog stand.
