Mallard Lake Fishing in Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Out in Manitoba, sits Mallard Lake. It lies 560 metres above sea level. At 8 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Manitoba. For supplies, Roblin is 6.8 km out. The big place round here is Regina, 249 km distant. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Mallard Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish Mallard Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep. Rain averages about 494 mm a year, with June the wettest month.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 18°C; the cold one sits at -20°C. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at mid November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Plan around that when you fish Mallard Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Dollar Lake, 1.3 km away. Treat access at Mallard Lake as something to verify.
