Kabetogama/Namakan Fishing Report 11/8/09 by Phil Hart (11/08/2009)
How about pre-winter angling? This past weekend found lots of folks on the water during the mid-day time period. Hunt in the early morning, fish mid-day, hunt before sunset, it doesn't get any better.

Summer arrived in the Northland and was greeted by most folks with open arms until we came within a hair of 90 degrees. Grumbling from anglers was heard--too hot, too sunny, no wind--most often the curse for good fishing conditions

Weather fronts producing low pressure conditions combined with determined anglers added up to a good walleye harvest for most.

We had a very pleasant week of nice "Up North" weather for folks--day-time 70 degrees and night-time in the 40's. The below average temperatures have resulted in cool lake temperature, which in turn has stretched out the Mayfly hatch and kept active fish in shallower waters than expected.

As the lake turns from windy to calm, so does the fish bite. The lake is slowly warming up after a cold windy week, and the mayflies have blown away.

A beautiful week of summer weather is taking its toll on anglers this past week. Sweatshirts have given way to shorts and tank tops. Sun lotion and bug repellent have become a necessity as does lively bait.

Wow, what an opening day for Kabetogama. The weather did test anglers' determination, as part of the day featured light snow, sleet and cold rain. The end of the day was cool, but cleared off for a beautiful, sunny, mid-50's Sunday.

Anglers this past weekend were mostly concentrating on crappies, results are mixed. Some folks tried Kabetogama, while others preferred to try Namakan and Sandpoint where you can still keep walleyes and pike as well as fish crappies.

Huge temperature swings and mixed precipitation spoiled all mid-week fishing in our neck of the country. This past weekend the temperatures hovered around normal and anglers managed to get some hours in. Reports were spotty and it was overall a quiet weekend for fishing.

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.

his past week has given us lots of snow, over 10", which is not helping the slush and ice formation problems on our big lakes. Well traveled areas on Kabetogama and Namakan are packed and travel is not a problem.

Another week of mixed bag weather, minus 25 to plus 25 and snow with a little freezing rain. This adds up to difficult ice traveling. Anglers and spearers made paths to the previously traveled locations and found easy travel and a pretty good bite.

More snow, more cold all the more reason to shift gears from watching winter to enjoying it. You can get on the ice to spear or angle, spearing is wrapping up somewhat as anglers start getting out to their walleye holes.
