Three Lake Fishing Guide, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  You will find Three Lake in Manitoba. This is pine and birch ground. Surface area is around 28 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. With about 4.5 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Kenora is the closest town at 58 km. Further out sit Lac du Bonnet (67 km) and Moose Lake (92 km). It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Three Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On Three Lake a short move beats a long cast. The first hour after arriving is often the quietest; settle and wait.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 19°C; the cold one sits at -19°C. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to mid November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Three Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Hawken Lake is 1.3 km distant.
