Ruby Lake Fishing near Flin Flon, Manitoba

• Overview

  Manitoba in Manitoba is where Ruby Lake sits. The ground around here is rolling bush. The water covers some 85 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The margin runs to about 8.8 km in total. Start from Flin Flon, 12 km down the road. Beyond it, Creighton at 14 km and Pelican Narrows at 83 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Ruby Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On Ruby Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort. Follow the birds if you cannot find the fish.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 17°C and January near -22°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Averages place the thaw at early May and the freeze at early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Time your trip to Ruby Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Arthurs Lake is 1.6 km distant. None of that is settled for Ruby Lake in what we hold.
