Caverly Lake, Manitoba: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Manitoba, Caverly Lake belongs to Ethelbert. It sits at 720 metres above sea level. At 7 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Most waters listed here for Ethelbert are larger. Swan River is the closest town at 43 km. Regina sits 300 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Caverly Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Public occurrence data for Ethelbert names Iowa darter, yellow perch, northern pike, white sucker and rainbow trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Treat Caverly Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 16°C, with January the cold end at about -19°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Break-up sits around early May on average, with the water closing again about early November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. The season on Caverly Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. A campsite lies 1.2 km away for anyone staying over. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. 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, Glad Lake is 0.5 km off. None of that is settled for Caverly Lake in what we hold.
