Tetrault Lake, Manitoba: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Tetrault Lake lies within the bounds of Manitoba. It lies 337 metres above sea level. The water covers some 15 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The whole outline is near 1.8 km, and most of it is walkable. Most waters listed here for Manitoba are larger. The nearest place of any size is Lac du Bonnet, 55 km away. Winnipeg is the closest city, 141 km away. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Tetrault Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. At Tetrault Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes. Bait sits where the wind pushes it, and so do the fish.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 19°C, the coldest about -19°C. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Tetrault Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Kirby Lake at 2.5 km is the nearest alternative.
