Comba Lake Fishing near Snow Lake, Manitoba

• Overview

  Comba Lake stands in Kelsey, Manitoba. Around the bank it is taiga. The water covers some 16 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The full circuit measures close to 1.9 km on foot. Most waters listed here for Kelsey are larger. Snow Lake is the closest place, 28 km off. Flin Flon is 92 km and Creighton 94 km. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Comba Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Kelsey include white sucker, johnny darter, northern pike and walleye. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Comba Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 17°C in July and bottom out at -23°C in January. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to early November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. The season on Comba Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Bohemier Lake is 1.1 km off. None of that is settled for Comba Lake in what we hold.
