Delormes Lake Fishing Guide, Fisher, Manitoba

• Overview

  Delormes Lake is one of the Fisher waters in Manitoba. It lies 278 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 11 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Around 1.5 km of margin, front to back. On size it sits at the modest end of our Fisher list. For supplies, Arborg is 66 km out. Gimli is 96 km away, with Stonewall at 126 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Cordwood Camp Lake at 2.3 km is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Delormes Lake if anything is unclear.
