 THE GLACIAL LAKE AGASSIZ--Chapter II
The glacial Lake Agassiz was gradually reduced in size, first by the lowering of its southward outlet, and afterwards by finding successively lower outlets to the northeast, until, with the complete departure of the ice-sheet it shrank to its present representatives, the great lakes of Manitoba.
Rock Lake and Swan Lake, on this part of the river, each several miles long and from a half mile to 1 mile wide, are due to deposits brought into this valley by tributaries after it ceased to be the avenue of drainage from the Souris [p.58] basin.
Lake Agassiz thus received the waters of the upper Churchill, and of the basins of the Athabasca and Peace rivers, the great head streams of the Mackenzie; [p.64] and the Churchill, and probably also the upper Mackenzie basin, continued to be tributary to this lake through all its lower stages of outflow to Hudson Bay.

 Lake Winnipeg Regulation   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Manitoba Hydro's plans for developing the hydroelectric potential of the Nelson River were based on the idea of using Lake Winnipeg as a natural reservoir.
By excavating existing channels to increase the outflow capability of the lake, and by building a control structure to regulate the outflow, adequate minimum flows could be guaranteed for the utility's generating stations built along the Nelson River in northern Manitoba.
The natural inflows to Lake Winnipeg are greatest in the spring and summer, due to the snow melt during warmer weather combining with the naturally heavier rainfalls in spring and early summer.

 Munroe Lake Lodge  -  Munroe Lake, Manitoba
The key features of Munroe Lake (at least as far as anglers are concerned) are the numerous, mid-lake "cabbage" weedbeds which attract trophy pike.
The northern section of the lake, sometimes referred to as Martin Moore Lake, is separated from the main lake by two narrows and provides excellent fishing as well.
Although Munroe Lake pike can and are caught almost everywhere around the lake - shallow, deep, off points, in back bays, in the river / creek mouths - the very best summer trophy pike action consistently comes from the many "cabbage" weedbeds scattered throughout the lake.

In Lake Winnipeg, a massive algae slick is growing, fuelled by two main ingredients: nitrogen and phosphorus.
When the snow melts in the spring and the run-off heads towards the lake through a network of ditches and waterways, it carries traces of manure in the form of nitrogen and especially phosphorous.
A report by the provincial government says agriculture in Manitoba's part of Lake Winnipeg's watershed is responsible for some of the nitrogen and much of the phosphorus polluting the lake.
