Ungerer Lake, Manitoba: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Ungerer Lake lies within the bounds of Alexander, Manitoba. Elevation runs to 315 metres. Surface area is around 49 hectares, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Bank access stretches around 3.2 km in total. The closest town, Lac du Bonnet, is 45 km away. Beausejour follows at 81 km, then Kenora at 86 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Ungerer Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Alexander cover smallmouth bass, northern pike and walleye. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Ungerer Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 19°C in July and bottoms out near -19°C in January. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Anyone fishing Ungerer Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Jamieson Lake is 1.4 km distant. None of that is settled for Ungerer Lake in what we hold.
