One Stone Lake Fishing in Reynolds, Manitoba

• Overview

  One Stone Lake falls in Reynolds, part of Manitoba. Everything around it is mixed forest. Surface area is around 45 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Shoreline comes to about 2.8 km, small enough to learn in a day. The closest town, Lac du Bonnet, is 56 km distant. Winnipeg sits 123 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on One Stone Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Reynolds cover northern pike, walleye, yellow perch and johnny darter. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The near bank of One Stone Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 19°C and January near -19°C. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Plan any trip to One Stone Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Beauchemin Lake sits 3.4 km off and takes the overflow. For One Stone Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
