Moon Lake Fishing near Roblin, Manitoba

• Overview

  Moon Lake is set in Grandview, Manitoba. The country here is northern bush. Around 15 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Manitoba listings. For supplies, Roblin is 24 km out. Regina sits 268 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Also worth knowing: Klemecki Lake within 1.3 km, Kelly Island Lake at 2 km, Boomerang Lake within 2.9 km, Elbow Lake at 2.9 km and Berth Lake within 3.4 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Moon Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Grandview, recorded fish include Iowa darter, northern pike, white sucker and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of Moon Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 17°C and January at -19°C. Winter runs most of the calendar, and everything worth doing happens in the gap. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early May. The lid tends to go about early May and return around early November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Anyone fishing Moon Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. This one is mapped as intermittent, so a wasted trip is a real risk in a dry year. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Klemecki Lake, 1.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at Moon Lake are worth checking on the day.
