South Tee Lake Fishing in Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  South Tee Lake is set in Manitoba. Land around it is taiga. With some 21 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. About 2.0 km of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. On size it sits at the modest end of our Manitoba list. The nearest town is Swan River, 41 km away. Kamsack is 56 km and Roblin 59 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on South Tee Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. South Tee Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. A drop in wind often turns the surface quiet and the fishing slow.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 17°C at the top of summer and -19°C at the bottom of winter. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. The season between ice runs from about early May to early November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to South Tee Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Swamp Tee Lake is 1.1 km distant. Treat access at South Tee Lake as something to verify.
