Greenway Lake in Argyle: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Greenway Lake lies within the bounds of Argyle, Manitoba. The bank is 405 metres above sea level. Around 22 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. With about 2.7 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Our Argyle list holds plenty of bigger water. The closest town, Killarney, is 46 km distant. For a city, Winnipeg is 152 km off. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Greenway Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Argyle: black bullhead, northern pike, johnny darter, rock bass and tadpole madtom. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Work Greenway Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -17°C to 19°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about mid November in an average year. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. It holds true on Greenway Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public mapping marks it as seasonal water rather than permanent. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Lake Nine is 4.5 km off. None of that is settled for Greenway Lake in what we hold.
