Carlisle Lake Fishing Guide, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Manitoba, is where Carlisle Lake sits. The surface lies 333 metres up. About 8 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. A shoreline of some 1.7 km keeps the choices simple. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Manitoba. Flin Flon sits 3.7 km from the bank. Creighton is 3.7 km and Pelican Narrows 84 km. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Carlisle Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. At Carlisle Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Structure first, distance second.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about -22°C and July at about 18°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at early November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Carlisle Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The nearest car park we can see is 920 m out, so expect a walk with your gear. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Phantom Lake is 2.3 km off. Confirm access to Carlisle Lake locally before you travel.
