Cordeau Lake Fishing Guide, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Cordeau Lake lies in Manitoba. The bank is 230 metres above sea level. This is sizeable water at about 8.89 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. The outline measures near 43 km, so a boat opens up water the bank never reaches. On our Manitoba list it sits near the top for size. Some 146 km away sits Oxford House, the nearest settlement. Then Norway House, 187 km, and Cross Lake 19A, 210 km. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Cordeau Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Cordeau Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. The mouth of any inflow is worth an hour after rain.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -22°C at the bottom of winter. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly early November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That is the shape of the year on Cordeau Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Makwa Lake, 6.1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Cordeau Lake before loading the car.
