Hemenway Lake Fishing in Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Hemenway Lake sits within Manitoba in Manitoba. Country round the bank runs to mixed forest. At roughly 9 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Manitoba standards. Some 58 km away sits Lac du Bonnet, the nearest settlement. The big place round here is Winnipeg, 135 km distant. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Hemenway Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish Hemenway Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 19°C; by January the average is down near -19°C. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. On average, late April opens the water and mid November closes it again. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Hemenway Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Sutcliffe Lake sits 3.3 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Hemenway Lake for certain.
