Tway Lake in Invergordon No. 430: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Set in Invergordon No. 430, Saskatchewan, this is Tway Lake. The ground round it is lake country bush. About 1.14 sq km, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. There is roughly 5.9 km of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. Prince Albert sits 55 km from the bank. For a city, Saskatoon is 108 km off. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Tway Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Anyone new to Tway Lake should walk it once before setting up. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 17°C, with January the cold end at about -18°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near mid November: that is the shape of an average year. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Expect Tway Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Bonne Madone Lake at 11 km is the sensible second choice. For Tway Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
