Izzards Lake Fishing Guide, Grahamdale, Manitoba

• Overview

  Set in Grahamdale, Manitoba, this is Izzards Lake. It lies 280 metres above sea level. With some 24 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Roughly 3.7 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. It is a small entry by Grahamdale standards. The closest town, Arborg, is 57 km away. The big place round here is Winnipeg, 141 km distant. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Izzards Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Grahamdale list walleye, freshwater drum, nipigon cisco, white sucker and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Fish Izzards Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 18°C for July and -19°C for January. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. On average, late April opens the water and mid November closes it again. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That shapes the year on Izzards Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For walleye, a jig and minnow near the bottom is the standard; evenings beat middays. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Stony Lake, 2.8 km away. The position on Izzards Lake is worth confirming on the day.
