Uyekus Lake Fishing Guide, Manitoba, Manitoba

• Overview

  Uyekus Lake is one of the Manitoba listings for Manitoba. The surface lies 281 metres up. With some 19 hectares of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The edge runs 1.9 km or so, easy to work in an afternoon. On size it sits at the modest end of our Manitoba list. The closest town, Thompson, is 178 km away. It is 641 km to Saskatoon, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Uyekus Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On Uyekus Lake that means starting tight and working out. Look for colour changes in the water and fish the seam between them.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 16°C on average, January about -25°C. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. Count the season from break-up, usually mid May. Open water usually runs from mid May until about early November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. At Uyekus Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Kakinokumak Lake, 3.2 km out. Confirm access to Uyekus Lake locally before you travel.
