Weldon Lake Fishing Guide, Alexander, Manitoba

• Overview

  Weldon Lake sits in Alexander, out in Manitoba. It sits at 307 metres above sea level. It runs to roughly 13 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. With about 2.3 km of edge, you can try several depths in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Alexander. Lac du Bonnet lies 67 km from the water. Gimli is 102 km and Beausejour 104 km. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Weldon Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, northern pike and walleye. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Weldon Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 19°C for July and -19°C for January. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about mid November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. On Weldon Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Vermette Lake is 1.8 km off. Treat access at Weldon Lake as something to verify.
