Nolin Lake Fishing in Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Nolin Lake stands in Manitoba. Everything around it is taiga. The water covers some 15 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. About 1.9 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Manitoba. Start from Kamsack, 38 km down the road. Regina is the closest city, 264 km away. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Nolin Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On Nolin Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 16°C and January at -20°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Ice-out usually falls in early May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Ice clears near early May and comes back about early November in a typical year. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Nolin Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Flat Lake, 1.8 km away. Check the position at Nolin Lake before loading the car.
