Fishing Greenaway Lake in Kelsey, Manitoba

• Overview

  Greenaway Lake is one of the Kelsey waters in Manitoba. The surface lies 188 metres up. It measures some 8.87 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. There is roughly 39 km of bank, and each arm behaves like its own water. Few waters listed in Kelsey are bigger. Some 29 km away sits Cross Lake 19A, the nearest settlement. Winnipeg is the closest city, 550 km away. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Greenaway Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name white sucker, johnny darter, northern pike and walleye. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Greenaway Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 17°C, the coldest about -24°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan any trip to Greenaway Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. 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. The nearest alternative is Sesep Rapids, 2.4 km out. Check the position at Greenaway Lake before loading the car.
