Kabetogama/Namakan Fishing Report 1/11/09

Let's assess winter thus far; cold, snow, cold, more snow and so on. All the aforementioned has led to great inland snowmobile trails and slushy conditions on the lake.

Angling and spearing continue, with some success in the well traveled areas of the lake. Pike remain the most active fish, walleye bite has been spotty as have favored destinations.

Anglers are finally reporting some better ice conditions as more of the lake is getting packed down. The favored depth for walleye is the 26-30' range, crappies being taken occasionally in the Kabetogama/Sullivan Bay portage area.

Snowmobilers should take note that the land trails are in the best condition we've seen in many years. Our trail base is 24-30".

We will See You Soon -
