Ermine Lake Fishing in Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Ermine Lake is one of the Manitoba waters in Manitoba. It sits in pine and birch. It covers about 7 hectares, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Our Manitoba list holds plenty of bigger water. Start from Roblin, 21 km down the road. It is 262 km to Regina, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Ermine Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On Ermine Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one. Wind decides which bank is worth your time on the day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 17°C for July and -20°C for January. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to early November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. The season on Ermine Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Mapping flags this water as intermittent: it can be dry for part of the year, so check before travelling. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Rag Lake at 1.5 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Ermine Lake before loading the car.
