Patterson Lake
Managed under Manitoba’s Fish and Lake Improvement for the Parkland Region program, Patterson Lake consistently produces huge trophy trout. Gorging on a massive population of giant freshwater shrimp, the lake’s rainbows and browns often gain a kilogram each year, reaching a staggering 27 inches by their fourth birthday. Ten-foot, 6- or 7-weight rods and scud patterns are popular choices with fly anglers, while hardware anglers rely on Mepps in-line spinners, small X-Raps and spoons.
