Fishing at Drummey Lake, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Drummey Lake lies within the bounds of Manitoba. It sits at 332 metres above sea level. The water covers some 38 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. There is roughly 3.7 km of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. For supplies, Kenora is 59 km out. Winnipeg is the closest city, 136 km away. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Drummey Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. At Drummey Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes. Watch where fish top and note the time of day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 19°C and January about -19°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about mid November in a typical year. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Expect Drummey Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Indian Lake sits 1.7 km off and takes the overflow. Rules at Drummey Lake are worth checking on the day.
