Caddy Lake Fishing Guide, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  You will find Caddy Lake in Manitoba. Around the bank it is rolling bush. At some 3.17 sq km it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. The perimeter runs near 16 km, so plan the walk before you start. Head to Kenora, 52 km away, for anything you forgot. Beyond it, Moose Lake at 68 km and Lac du Bonnet at 78 km. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Caddy Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Caddy Lake fishes better once you know its edges. If bites stop, change depth before you change everything else.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -19°C and July at about 19°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That is the shape of the year on Caddy Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Launching is possible: a slipway lies 880 m off. Recorded parking is 820 m off, far enough to travel light. There is a campsite 790 m from the water. There are picnic tables recorded roughly 800 m off. There is a toilet block some 830 m out. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. McGillivray Lake sits 2.6 km off and takes the overflow. Signs at Caddy Lake carry more weight than any list.
