Mire Lake, Manitoba: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Mire Lake is one of the Grahamdale listings for Manitoba. What surrounds it is lake country bush. Roughly 7.85 sq km of surface: treat each bay as a water in its own right. The perimeter runs near 17 km, so plan the walk before you start. Supplies mean a trip to Dauphin, 96 km off. Winnipeg sits 266 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Mire Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Open biodiversity records for Grahamdale list walleye, freshwater drum, nipigon cisco and white sucker. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Mire Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -20°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. The open-water window runs from around late April to about mid November in an average year. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. It sets the rhythm of the year at Mire Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Walleye come to jigs worked slow near bottom, and to trolled crankbaits along the drops at dusk. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Proulx Lake, 4.3 km out. Treat Mire Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
