South Round Lake Fishing Guide, Alonsa, Manitoba

• Overview

  South Round Lake sits within Alonsa in Manitoba. The surface lies 278 metres up. With some 52 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one.

• Where to Fish on South Round Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Alonsa records list walleye, common carp and freshwater drum among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. South Round Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 19°C, with January the cold end at about -18°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. South Round Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Horsejaw Lake is 5.4 km distant. Confirm before you fish South Round Lake.
