• Where to Fish on Denmark Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Open biodiversity records for Riding Mountain West list white sucker, rock bass, blackside darter, johnny darter and shorthead redhorse. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. On Denmark Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 18°C and January reads -19°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Denmark Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Jarret Lake is 1.4 km off. Confirm before you fish Denmark Lake.
