An even grey lid over the water, with a gentle ripple from the S and steady pressure. Activity on Moose Nose Lake should centre on sheltered bays and points. The productive run goes the day. Start on the obvious water and expand from there. A properly cold day, so expect slow, deliberate fishing.

Moose Nose Lake is one of the Manitoba waters in Manitoba. Around the bank it is spruce and muskeg. Around 17.50 sq km of open water: conditions change from one end to the other. The outline measures near 61 km, so a boat opens up water the bank never reaches. Few waters listed in Manitoba are bigger. Gillam lies 69 km from the water. Oxford House is 126 km and Thompson 139 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.
Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Treat Moose Nose Lake as a water to read rather than to cover. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this.
Expect July near 16°C and January near -24°C on the long-run figures. Water stays cold even at the height of the year. Once it clears, about mid May, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages place the thaw at mid May and the freeze at early November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Moose Nose Lake fishes to that pattern most years.
