Fishing at Mollie Lake, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Mollie Lake lies in Manitoba. It sits at 340 metres above sea level. Surface area is around 35 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The edge runs 4.7 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. For supplies, Kenora is 55 km out. It is 139 km to Winnipeg, the nearest city. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Mollie Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On Mollie Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one. Weed gaps hold fish when the beds themselves are too thick.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 19°C; the cold one sits at -19°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about mid November in a typical year. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Mollie Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Alice Lake sits 1.7 km off and takes the overflow. For Mollie Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
