Bluenose Lake near Flin Flon: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Bluenose Lake lies in Manitoba. It lies 323 metres above sea level. About 2.58 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. At about 21 km of edge, most people work one arm at a time. For supplies, Flin Flon is 18 km out. Then Creighton, 21 km, and Pelican Narrows, 84 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Bluenose Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read Bluenose Lake before you fish it and the day goes better. If a spot has produced once, it will produce again in similar conditions.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -22°C in January. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about early November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. That is the shape of the year on Bluenose Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Flux Lake, 1.7 km away. Confirm before you fish Bluenose Lake.
