Fishing Keekwahongay Lake in Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Keekwahongay Lake belongs to Manitoba. It lies 282 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 95 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Roughly 4.7 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. The town to know is Oxford House, 165 km out. Norway House is 167 km away, with Cross Lake 19A at 201 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Keekwahongay Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. At Keekwahongay Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach. If bites stop, change depth before you change everything else.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 17°C and January near -22°C on the long-run figures. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly early November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Keekwahongay Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Oskano Lake, 4.8 km away.
