Fishing at Lac Brochet, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Manitoba in Manitoba is where Lac Brochet sits. It sits at 359 metres above sea level. It covers about 240.73 sq km, which means weather matters as much as tactics. Long inlets mean the far ends can be calm while the main body is rough. It ranks high for size among our Manitoba listings. Nearest place of any size is Thompson, 390 km away. After that come Pelican Narrows at 392 km and Snow Lake at 425 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lac Brochet

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On Lac Brochet the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. A boat opens water the bank never reaches, but is not needed.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 15°C; by January the average is down near -27°C. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late May until roughly late October. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan around that when you fish Lac Brochet.
