Kaseesapunakwak Lake in Manitoba: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Manitoba in Manitoba is where Kaseesapunakwak Lake sits. It stands 228 metres above sea level. It measures some 6.55 sq km, and wind has room to build across it. Some 45 km of shoreline means conditions can differ from one end to the other. Size puts it in the front rank of our Manitoba list. Oxford House at 125 km is the nearest place to stop. The nearest city of size is Winnipeg, 513 km away. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Kaseesapunakwak Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read Kaseesapunakwak Lake before you fish it and the day goes better. A slow retrieve near cover beats a fast one over open water.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -23°C in January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Look for the thaw near early May; the fishing lifts straight after. Climate figures give an open season running early May to early November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Time your trip to Kaseesapunakwak Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. 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. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Pullen Lake is 7 km distant. Signs at Kaseesapunakwak Lake carry more weight than any list.
