Muth Lake Fishing Guide, Reynolds, Manitoba

• Overview

  Manitoba holds Muth Lake, in Reynolds. This is rolling bush ground. It measures about 18 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. A shoreline of some 2.2 km keeps the choices simple. On size it sits at the modest end of our Reynolds list. You are 61 km from Lac du Bonnet. The big place round here is Winnipeg, 122 km distant. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Muth Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Reynolds cover northern pike, walleye, yellow perch and johnny darter. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Fish Muth Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -19°C to 19°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. Ice clears near late April and comes back about mid November in a typical year. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Muth Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Lancota Lake is 0.7 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Muth Lake for certain.
