Brass Lake Fishing Guide, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Out in Manitoba, sits Brass Lake. The water sits 670 metres up. It covers about 3 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. On size it sits at the modest end of our Manitoba list. The closest town, Swan River, is 38 km distant. Regina is the closest city, 279 km away. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Brass Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Take Brass Lake a stretch at a time. The first hour after arriving is often the quietest; settle and wait.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -19°C in January up to 16°C in July. The window is narrow, and fish feed hard while it lasts. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early May and starts locking again about early November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Plan any trip to Brass Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Beaver Pond is 1.9 km off. Confirm access to Brass Lake locally before you travel.
