Jersey Lake Fishing near Flin Flon, Manitoba

• Overview

  Jersey Lake is a Manitoba water, in Manitoba. Height above sea level is 316 metres. With some 62 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one.

No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Jersey Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Jersey Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. Where the wind piles up, so does the food.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -22°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near early November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Expect Jersey Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Defender Lake at 1.7 km is the nearest alternative. Rules at Jersey Lake are worth checking on the day.
