Fourth Mustus Lake in Greig Lake: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Greig Lake, Saskatchewan, is where Fourth Mustus Lake sits. The ground around here is spruce and muskeg. Around 62 hectares of surface means several distinct areas to work. Around 3.8 km of margin, front to back. It is a small entry by Greig Lake standards. Meadow Lake is the closest town at 46 km. For a city, Saskatoon is 297 km off. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Fourth Mustus Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Survey and observation records for Greig Lake include northern pike, brook trout and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Read Fourth Mustus Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -18°C to 16°C. The ice season is long here and the open one short. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to early November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Fourth Mustus Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Third Mustus Lake is 2.8 km off. Treat access at Fourth Mustus Lake as something to verify.
