Wentworth Lake, Manitoba: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Wentworth Lake is an Alexander water, in Manitoba. The ground around here is mixed forest. The water covers some 14 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The bank runs about 1.5 km all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Alexander. For a base, Lac du Bonnet sits 89 km out. Then Red Lake, 105 km, and Golden, 112 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Wentworth Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Reported across Alexander: smallmouth bass, northern pike and walleye. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Wentworth Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -19°C to 18°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near mid November in autumn. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Anyone fishing Wentworth Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Stovel Lake is 1.4 km distant. Check the current arrangement for Wentworth Lake.
