July 16 - 18

  • Rainy & cold on the 16th of July.  Rachel (who is working Mississippi) just about had frost bite! Preston caught a 13” and 24” walleye.  Caught about 50 nice fish in 20ft. of water.
  • 17th was cloudy but no rain fishing.  Saw town beavers climbed the cliffs.  Saw a five-inch spider. Picked enough blue berries to have for breakfast. Rachel caught a 24” walleye. Caught about 50 total.
  • 18th – Caught a northern and a walleye.  Caught about 40 fish but kind of quit trying as the sun came out, the lake want glass and it got hot.

July 17 - 19

Caught some nice fish caught a 23 ½ inch walleye and a bunch more good day to fish today.

July 19, First time ever in Canada. KaBeeLo is where it's at caught all kinds of fish. Everything was fantastic. Thanks KaBeeLo

Matt     July 24

Caught a massive northern it was huge but when we had it in the Boat my brother took the hook out but dropped the thing in the water.  But it was huge.

July 28 - 31

Came up first time to Canada.  Our group of 4 must have caught upwards of 150 nice walleyes in 2 ½ days.  Also caught a few nice northern.  A 36” and 37 ½ “. The big one came out of the Lilly pads just to the right of the dock.  It was an original red and white daredevil. Most of the walleyes came from the closet island on the corner closest to the outpost.  Including a couple 25” and one 26” beast. Great time up here hopefully coming back soon.
Thanks KaBeeLo

Aug 1, Ron / Kennie and Sons

First fishing trip to Canada!
Now able to scratch off another item on bucket list.  Caught lots of Walleye with 2 over 24”.  Caught numerous Pike with largest 35”.  Most fish came around the islands and waterfall.  All four of us really enjoyed our 4 days on the lake and the cooler weather.  We plan on making a return trip to KaBeeLo.
Thanks Harald & Ann

Aug 13 - 16, George, Craig, Rob & Sean (MN,WA)

None of us have ever caught fish in this volume before.  Best spot on the lake was the shoreline immediately across from the cabin (SW shore).  We trolled off the bottom with jigg/Minnows.  Had more fish than we could eat by 1 hour in.  Caught many fish over 20”.  Had a few 24” –26”+.  Caught some smaller Northern but didn’t fish them deliberately.  We fished around the NE side of the island as well and sought another huge amount of fish.  Again – bottom trolling with jigs/minnows.

Aug 22 – 25

We caught about 130 in 4 days(Walleye), and 20 Northern.  One 40” Northern & several big walleye.  Most of our fish came from the islands and the falls.  Minnows and worms on orange jig head worked best.  Weather was good most days.  The worst weather day produced the biggest walleyes.

Aug 26 – Sept 2

Steve & Sophia Goodwin from San Diego, CA. Dan, Nancy, Jerry, (Spouses are decreased)

What a wonderful haven from reality!  Whiskey great.  Water cold.  Fish plentiful. Sun is hot.  Coffee is tasty.  Running water in this place – astounding.  And tell me- did you EVER see a Port – A John in the wild.

Aug 26 – 13 walleye from 6 to 8 PM right off the dock with worms on a fuzzy grub.

Aug 27 – Caught about 30 Pike from here to waterfall on a white, plastic "fluke" (worm) & caught 7 walleye down around rocks going in to river on the left. 32" northern on fizzy grub/worm.

Aug 28 – morning down in mouth of river got 18 walleye on spinner bait & 7 on worms on fuzzy grubs.  Several northern! Afternoon: the ladies actually baked an apple pie from scratch in the grill in a skillet & it tastes as good as I hope heaven is.  Fish: 9 northern of lesser quality & 1 walleye on northern trolling bait & one hand was caught & surgery was performed in a highly skilled and expeditious manner by Jerry on Dan.  Steve is cooking dinner + steaks – we killed a cow- HA!! The author here of has had his writing talents titillated & shall thereby announce to the ensuing commingling group that the couple of Sophia & Steve Good win have now been here ten (10) years in a row with nary a miss at all.

Aug 29 – Rained /Thunder/ Lightning all night & until about 10;00A.M. when sun appeared & after a hughmongeous breakfast of French toast & bacon & eggs we hit the lake & caught at least 25 walleyes & probably 50 northern.  Nancy is ecstatic & having a glorious time.  We all miss our deceased spouses but are enjoying this to the utmost. Sophia baked a cherry pie in the iron skillet on the outside grill & Steve does beans in it too so we eat well, to say the least.

Aug 30 – Wind calm. Temperature in 80+ fishing slow but some spots appeared at the SW shore S of waterfall.  Caught walleye. Ladies played girley on the dock.  Then it RAINED!

Aug 31 – Wind rentless.  Dan attempted to empty 2 & darn killed himself but came out wet, chagrined, feeling stupid.  You can’t fix stupid but he did win the card games & did beat Nancy, the camp twice. Then Steve led us valiantly into the water & we got all 3 sunken coats up & on the shore.

Sept 1 – Fishing tournament & many bring home 1 only fish! HA! Did not have it as the whiskey overcame ambition.  Steve & Dan fished and caught walleye & northern in abundance.  Another evening of fun & games & house cleaning prior to falling off the back porch & landing on head.

Sept 2 – Plane due now – it is 6:30 AM but it will be late as is raining & seaplanes up here can not fly on instruments but we’re all packed & ready to fly back to reality.  Steve finally showered as Sophia ordered! Great Place, food, fishing & people.  You all have fun. Edited by Dan.
