Shiaro Lake Fishing Guide, Reynolds, Manitoba

• Overview

  Reynolds, Manitoba, is where Shiaro Lake sits. Elevation runs to 334 metres. About 7 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. With about 1.6 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. It is a small entry by Reynolds standards. The nearest place of any size is Kenora, 64 km away. For a city, Winnipeg is 127 km off. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Shiaro Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. 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, johnny darter and smallmouth bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Shiaro Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 19°C, with January the cold end at about -19°C. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. At Shiaro Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Hnatiw Lake at 2.3 km is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Shiaro Lake.
