Fishing Nash Lake in Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  The Manitoba end of Manitoba holds Nash Lake. The surface lies 605 metres up. Surface area is around 14 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. The bank runs about 1.7 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. It is a small entry by Manitoba standards. Kamsack sits 26 km from here and is the nearest stop. Further out sit Roblin (35 km) and Canora (64 km). One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Nash Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Anyone new to Nash Lake should walk it once before setting up. First and last light beat anything in between.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 17°C; by January the average is down near -20°C. Everything is compressed into the middle of the year. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about early November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. The season on Nash Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Kihi Lake at 1.6 km is the sensible second choice. Rules at Nash Lake are worth checking on the day.
