Morrisons Lake Fishing in Mossey River, Manitoba

• Overview

  This water sits in Mossey River, Manitoba. The bank gives way to mixed forest. It runs to roughly 26 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Roughly 2.0 km of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. It is a small entry by Mossey River standards. The closest town, Dauphin, is 55 km distant. After that come Swan River at 100 km and Roblin at 104 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Morrisons Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Mossey River records list walleye, central mudminnow and blacknose shiner among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. The shape of Morrisons Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 18°C, the coldest about -18°C. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Morrisons Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapped as intermittent, it fills after rain and shrinks between. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lytwyns Lake sits 13 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Morrisons Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
