Kabetogama Ice Fishing--Questions


lungdeflator

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, looking at an ice fishing trip to Kabetogama.  We have never fished there, summer or winter.  What do I need to know about it?  We are hoping to find some walleye and crappies.  I've heard the lost bay-Eks bay area is decent for crappie.  

Any current ice reports?  

Thanks!

Great to hear.  Fishing Report. http://www.kabfishingreport.com/

Also you want to bring a snowmobile to get to the better parts of the lake.  Big Lake.  The Park should be plowing a road some point this winter.  It goes from the Kab visitors center to the Ash river visitors center.  There are a lot of places to fish off the road once it gets opened up.   Here is the link to the VNP updates. https://www.nps.gov/voya/planyourvisit/winter-ice-and-trail-conditions.htm

If you never been to the lake before you could get a guide to get on fish.  Just to go and find fish can be tough.  Guide List. http://kabetogama.com/fishing/fishing-guides/

Places to stay I would also look on the web site http://kabetogama.com/resortsbusiness/resorts/.  You can also look at resorts on the Ash River.   Not sure which end of the lake you are looking at staying.   Cant recall witch resorts are open in the winter.   (ash trail lodge, Kecs Kove, Sandy Point)  This is a web site next to the Kab visitors center. http://pineairewebcam.dyndns.org/top.htm

 

 

Another note Walleye has a slot  size.  Some times it is very hard to get them in the slot.  There can be good perch fishing at times also.

Thanks!  We are probably just going to bring a wheelhouse up and either park it on shore or just off the access at the ash river visitors center.  Fish off snowmobiles and portables.  It is a big lake and will be a challenge, but if it works out it will be a great option if we don't want to go to LOTW or Red.
