Fishing at Horodyski Lake, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Look for Horodyski Lake in Manitoba. Height above sea level is 334 metres. The water covers some 63 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Some 7.6 km of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. Lac du Bonnet sits 58 km from here and is the nearest stop. Winnipeg is the closest city, 145 km away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Horodyski Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shape of Horodyski Lake decides where the fish sit. The water is fresh according to our records.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 19°C on average, January about -19°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about mid November in a typical year. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. It holds true on Horodyski Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Tin Lake sits 1.9 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Horodyski Lake for certain.
