Kabetogama/Namakan Fishing Report 1/18/09
Brrr, then some, several days in a row of -40 with high temps below zero kept anglers off the lake most of the week.
Friday brought the first hint of warm weather and a few anglers. Getting to your favorite spot still proves to be very difficult with slush not being very forgiving.
No catches to report this week, except one really nice walleye - see the picture - 31.5". The forecasted warm weather and accompanying cold may solidify some of the slush making traveling on the ice less formidable.
Snowmobilers will find the land trails in the area to be awesome, 3" of fresh snow this past weekend. Trails are very well groomed, and thus far not much traffic.
The park service has staked more trails, but they are not expected to be groomed this week. Riders should be cautious on the ice and be prepared for slushy conditions.
We will See You Soon -
