Bewley Lake Fishing Guide, Hudson Bay No. 394, Saskatchewan

• Overview

  Bewley Lake is listed under Hudson Bay No. 394, Saskatchewan. Everything around it is lake country bush. It covers about 10.33 sq km, which means weather matters as much as tactics. Shoreline length is close to 20 km, and each section fishes a little differently. For supplies, The Pas is 63 km out. Then Creighton, 106 km, and Flin Flon, 108 km. Rules here are straightforward: one set of provincial rules.

• Where to Fish on Bewley Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Public occurrence data for Hudson Bay No. 394 names goldeye, northern pike and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Bewley Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -21°C in January up to 18°C in July. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about early November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. At Bewley Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Big Lake, 5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Bewley Lake if anything is unclear.
