Quesnel Lake Mb.

[Le pickerel]

Going walleye fishing at Jackson's Lodge on Quesnel Lake, Manitoba about the 24th of May.
I figure the ice will have been out maximum of 2 weeks. Any advise on where to fish and what presentation for ice cold walleyes?

thx

I live pretty far north in Manitoba where is this lake? what area? the way the weather is here right now we were still making ice on the lake until the last couple days.28 inches of ice.My prediction for ice out will be either second week in May or a little later.It better warm up soon.FISH ON.

Quesnel Lake is near Bisset along the Manigotagan River. It is a three hour drive north east of Wpg. past Pine Falls. This is one of the better drive to lakes in the province. Was there last year at the same time and the fishing was hot, as was the weather. This year...?

Hey Le Pic,

I'm heading up there the weekend of the 18th for the opener. Will submit a report on the 22nd (I'm there for four days). I intend on using basic shallow water tactics, maybe 3 to 5 feet deep - run some cranks and maybe some spinners tipped with worms - actually plastic worms (Berkeley) worked real well last year - again very shallow around any obvious on-shore humps. Typically the narrows are great at this time of year as well and especially the area just South of the narrows in the trees - the long bay on the left hand side as you move through the narrows - its full of old trees. We'll see.
