Grant Lake, Manitoba: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Grant Lake in the Manitoba part of Manitoba. The water sits 316 metres up. At roughly 8 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Manitoba. For supplies, Flin Flon is 2.8 km out. Further out sit Creighton (5.3 km) and Pelican Narrows (82 km). The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Grant Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Work Grant Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it. Cover on the bank counts as much as cover below the surface.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 18°C on average, January about -22°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly early November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Anyone fishing Grant Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, McWater Lake is 1.5 km off.
