Fishing at Beverley Lake, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Beverley Lake stands in Manitoba. The setting is spruce and muskeg. The water covers around 3.05 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Shoreline length is close to 15 km, and each section fishes a little differently. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Manitoba listings. Oxford House lies 41 km from the water. The nearest city of size is Winnipeg, 540 km away. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Beverley Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. At Beverley Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes. Read the water for ten minutes before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -23°C in January. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Break-up comes around mid May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Break-up near mid May, freeze-up near early November: that is the shape of an average year. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. On Beverley Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Reekie Lake is 2.4 km off. For Beverley Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
