Aubin Lake Fishing Guide, Alexander, Manitoba

• Overview

  Alexander in Manitoba is where Aubin Lake sits. Height above sea level is 322 metres. Surface area is around 68 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The shoreline runs about 5.4 km, so it pays to pick a stretch and stay with it. Start from Lac du Bonnet, 48 km down the road. Then Beausejour, 84 km, and Kenora, 85 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Aubin Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Alexander, recorded fish include smallmouth bass, northern pike and walleye. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Aubin Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between -19°C in January and 19°C in July. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Open water usually runs from late April until about mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. The season on Aubin Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Kauk Lake, 1.1 km out. Nothing here settles the position at Aubin Lake for certain.
