Fussey Lake near Snow Lake: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Fussey Lake is set in Kelsey, Manitoba. Elevation runs to 297 metres. This is sizeable water at about 1.07 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. The shoreline runs about 6.5 km, so it pays to pick a stretch and stay with it. Snow Lake sits 22 km from the bank. Flin Flon is 97 km away, with Creighton at 99 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Fussey Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Across Kelsey, recorded fish include white sucker, johnny darter, northern pike and walleye. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Fussey Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -23°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early May. On average, early May opens the water and early November closes it again. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. At Fussey Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Wotton Lake, 1.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Fussey Lake if anything is unclear.
