Knee Lake

Anglers know Knee Lake as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Manitoba, Canada. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Knee Lake is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
