Mixture Lake, Manitoba: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Manitoba, is where Mixture Lake sits. This is northern bush country. It measures about 58 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. With 5.6 km or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. The nearest town is Swan River, 31 km away. Then Hudson Bay, 83 km, and Kamsack, 92 km. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Mixture Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On Mixture Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. Fish move up in low light and drop back as it brightens.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 16°C and January near -19°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Climate averages put the opening at about early May and the closing near early November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. The season on Mixture Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Cross Lake sits 3.7 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Mixture Lake.
