Lake Of The Day : Kabinakagami Lake

Kabinakagami Lake is large, and has fabulous islands, shoals and underwater structure. The fishing is superb, with walleye and pike being the name of the game here. Members of The Angler’s Atlas have posted several photos of lunker fish on the lake page for Kabinakagami Lake. The underwater structure is perfect habitat for walleye and pike. Kaby Lake, as it’s sometimes known, is not that deep, though there are some good pools in the northeast that are great for walleye to hang. They will often concentrate in the weeds and rocky areas near these deep holes. If it’s pike you’re after, some of the best spots can be the shallower areas in the northeast, as well as the southern bays. Try trolling or casting small crankbaits. Cast towards the shallow, flat, weedy areas. Another option for pike is to let out a tube jig. For these, sometimes targetting drop offs and rocky areas can bring in the pike, even though these aren’t traditional pike hangouts.
