Big Rock Lake Fishing in Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Set in Manitoba, Big Rock Lake is a Manitoba water. Land around it is spruce and muskeg. It runs to roughly 43 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Around 2.8 km of margin, front to back. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Manitoba listings. Swan River is the closest place, 49 km off. Hudson Bay is 72 km and Preeceville 105 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Big Rock Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. At Big Rock Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes. Colour after rain pulls fish into the margins.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 16°C; the cold one sits at -19°C. Winter owns most of the year at this latitude. Count the season from break-up, usually early May. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near early November: that is the shape of an average year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Plan any trip to Big Rock Lake around it.
