Fishing at Taylor Lake, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Taylor Lake is a Manitoba water, in Manitoba. The surface lies 214 metres up. This is sizeable water at about 1.53 sq km, and a boat opens up most of it. Around 17 km of bank, which is a long day on foot. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Manitoba listings. 55 km away sits Cross Lake 19A, the nearest town. Norway House follows at 73 km, then Oxford House at 127 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Taylor Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The near bank of Taylor Lake is often the one people ignore. Fish tight to whatever breaks the bottom's flatness.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 17°C in July and bottoms out near -22°C in January. Open water arrives late and leaves early, which concentrates the fishing. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early May until roughly early November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Time your trip to Taylor Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Fairy Lake sits 12 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Taylor Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
