Gordon Lake Fishing Guide, Alexander, Manitoba

• Overview

  The Alexander entry here is Gordon Lake, in Manitoba. It stands 303 metres above sea level. Surface area runs to roughly 1.96 sq km, so plan for one area rather than the whole. Around 20 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. Size puts it in the front rank of our Alexander list. Lac du Bonnet at 61 km is the nearest place to stop. Beausejour is 97 km away, with Gimli at 97 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Gordon Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Alexander include smallmouth bass, northern pike and walleye. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Gordon Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 19°C; the cold one sits at -19°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Anyone fishing Gordon Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is West Gordon Lake, 1.4 km out. Treat Gordon Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
