Fishing at Kanwichiwekamak Lake, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Kanwichiwekamak Lake sits in in Manitoba. It sits in taiga country. Roughly 2.06 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. Around 8.4 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. For a base, Oxford House sits 120 km out. Winnipeg sits 461 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Kanwichiwekamak Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Take Kanwichiwekamak Lake a stretch at a time. A gravel patch among silt is worth several casts.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -22°C to 17°C. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to early November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Kanwichiwekamak Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Kamamenetokakak Lake sits 2.9 km off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Kanwichiwekamak Lake as something to verify.
