June 4, 5:48am

If you look out the window at all that water that’s just the top of it.  You will find as we did that the big pike are in there.  Several 30”+ and one 42” in weight for you as we put them all back.

June 5, 7:02am

Great lake, excellent facility and most important lots of fish 30”,31”,35”,36”,37”,38” and 42”. Pikes and 23” to 25” Walleyes.  And lots of rain!! All fish caught returned to lake except the few we ate.

June 5, 8:18am

Thursday I caught 4 walleye’s down on the Eastern end of the lake.  Lots of fish to catch in this lake so anyone else catch a lot of fish like big pikes, but I don’t think anyone else will catch a pike as big as my grandpa it was 42” pike.

June 11

Arrived Friday night, settled in and took a few casts off the dock.  We caught 2 38” pike.  Nice Fish!  Looking forward to the fishing to come… to be continued.

June 15 - 18

Day 1, Sunny & Breezy.  East side of the lake around South island caught a 40” Pike.  Lots of Walleye.

Day 2, Sunny & still. Caught lots of walleye & 2 – 38" Pike. Fishing was a little slow with no wind. Nice Sunburn.

Day 3, Sunny & windy.  Again lots of walleye (one after another).
Caught a 35 ½” Pike.  Biggest Walleye 24”.  We had to come in so my dad could use the restroom.  While he was in the restroom, he heard something in the woods walking.  He came out and saw a Big Black Bear about 15’ from the outhouse.  We took pictures and watched it run off. We then went back out to fish.  When we got back, we found our pan of grease for frying fish was missing all of the oil.  Nobody dumped it out (the bear Drank it).  Then we found the water line to the cabin was broke.  We thought it just snapped, but it had teeth marks in it. (2 puncture holes). So be aware.  There really are Bears in the woods!  We pretty much just used 2 different bait for fishing.( a lead head jig with a 4” grub white w/pink tail, tipped with minnow or worm) & little Joe spinner rig(with a minnow).  We were just about out of minnows on Day 2 When I saw a couple of thousand minnows under the dock.  I got the spaghetti strainer and ended up catching about 5 dozen minnows.  The fish fry basket worked a little better though. I would catch 8 minnows with one scoop! So if you run out catch your own bait!  Good luck! Matt PS We had a girl on the trip that was scared to death of Bears. I dressed up in my Black coveralls & Coat and scared the crap out of her!

July 13

Caught 88 Pike (1-41 ½”, 1-37 ½”, 1-36 ½”, 2-36”, 1-35”, 1-34”, 1-33”)
and 33 walleye (Biggest was 21”). Hot morning, weather was less stable in the afternoon, which is when the bigger fish turned on.

42 Pike (1-34 ½”, 1-31 ½”)
and 33 Walleye (biggest = 23”). Fewer fish on this trip than our prior visits, especially the walleye, but the size of the Pike was better than usual, and we lost several large pike.  Love Dead Dog Lake!! Have Fun!!  Pike – 298, Wal – 164 Total 462.

July 16

Arrived Dead Dog with nice weather.  The group departure group from Nebraska casually mentioned that there was no hot water Uh Oh!  We might have said something to the pilot, and a couple of hours later, Maytag Mike arrived with a new water heater. A front cam through with temperatures in the 20’s and hurricane forced winds.  But, we were walleyeing.  Caught a 24” off the dock and many east of the island across from camp.  Good eatin!

July 17

Good walleye at island, and a hot shower.  The seagulls chase the wimpy bald eagle from the fish-cleaning island, which, by the way, is not at the cabin.

July 19

Last two days, wind out of the east and the fishing has been slower.  This place is so unique and magical, that even as before, the overall experience is well worth it.  As the week advanced, the fish caught kept getting smaller.  Last year, Katie and I caught 50 walleye over 18”.  This year 4.  But, we could fish two decades in Missouri and catch one.  Please leave the cabin better than you found it. Let’s not take this for granted.

July 22 - 26

Yes, the cabin could have been cleaner!  But I am spoiled.  Two years ago (1st year for cabin).  We were here, a man & his wife were leaving as we arrived: The lady informed us that she did not like to fish so she spent time cleaning!  It was immaculate!  Needless to say we did not leave it that clean!
Tom & Barbara from Twin Cities, MN
Tom made his first trip in 1979 when Ken & Bee Lohn were owners.  Thus, “Ka Bee Lo” Lodge!  Tom has made 25 trips in 31 years – Barb’s 2nd.
We arrived at D.D. on Thurs 22 – it rained the rest of Thurs & Fri morning. 
Friday evening we caught walleye for dinner.  It rained Sat am but fishing was good in the late afternoon.  Sat – beautiful day – more fishing & a tour of the lake.  Plenty of fish to eat & take home.  Most of all we enjoy the peace & tranquility! 
Hope to return. Bald Eagle sat in tree by cabin for 15-20 mins.  He was chased away but the Sea Gulls! Who is the Boss???

July 26 - 30

Great lake – great time.  The weather was good all five days with just a few showers.  The fishing was superb.  Lots of fish and lots of big fish.  Several Northern from 35’ to 41’ and several walleye from 22” to 27”.
There is a cow moose that wades into the water to feed.  It is the first cove to the right as you are looking out of the cabin.  I would tell you what direction it is but I have spent too much time with the directionally challenged.  I will be lucky to fine my own house.
The company of fishermen was a good group.  We all took turns falling down.  You would think that, with me being the youngest, and with all of my original parts (making me unique with this group) that I would be the most graceful.
However, I got the award for the most spectacular crash--- a triple backwards ½ somersault with a twist.  I broke three rods, a minnow bucket, and my ass!
Dad did a triple sow cow into the water to come in a distant second, and Robin did several slow motion half gainers out of the boat and onto the dock.  It kind of reminded me of a show I watched – Wild Kingdom – and how the mother Rhino gave birth and the small calf kind of just rolled out onto the grass.  Thanks to Robin for me being able to relive that moment. Well, we are leaving with our limit.  Enjoy the seagulls.  A family of five lives nears the dock. They like saltines and bread soaked with whiskey.  After they eat their fill they will stagger up onto the dock and crap all over your equipment.  I fed them plenty right before we left.

Aug 3 - 5, 2010

Fishing was excellent.  Caught many walleyes.  Walleyes 20-25” were common each day.  Northern fishing a bit slow but did land a 41”, 2 – 37” and 3 – 35”. Weather was very windy.  Steady 20 mph.  Wind for two days made boat control difficult but the fish kept biting.

Aug 6 - 8 Thuts

Saw caribou by lakeshore 2 coves east.
Caught 3 Northern (21-28”) & 1 Walleye 14”

Aug 7, - Caught 5 Walleye 13” – 19” 150-200 ft. West of island straight across & off pt. ¼ mile east of little island.  Got several strikes or ones we lost also. Both caught 21” walleye this p.m. at far east end of lakes & lost one other large one.

Aug 8, - Caught 36” pike on northwest corner of lake & lots of walleye in little island area & west of it.  Several were over the limit in size. We thought Dead Dog Lake was Great!!

Aug 10

Caught some fish on the southern most island, north side.  A bunch of walleye east of cabin.  Biggest fish 27” walleye caught pike around big island in about 10 ft. of water. 2ara spook does work on Northern.

Aug 11

Arrived early got to fly out were fishing by 5:00.  We’ve been coming to KaBeeLo for 14 years.  Sometimes more than once a year had to miss last year and decided we needed a break & we picked here.  Were at DD in 1997 last.  Old cabin 3rd year fishing 3 kids what a difference now just the 2 of us.  Caught a mess of nice Wally’s , had a couple for dinner headed back out and had fun catching a mess more.

Aug 12

Doug out fishing early, I like sleeping in.  When I got up promptly fell at bottom step outside and thought broke my ankle.  It’s pretty swollen & bruised – maybe broken but won’t know that til next week not going in early.  Doug caught 27” walleye in the morning while I was wondering if I could make it back up the steps. I did.  We went back out after breakfast – it was a beautiful day – just enough chop on the lake along with plenty of sunshine – caught a bunch of walleye.  After supper, Doug informed me that I needed to elevate and Ice my swollen & bruised ankle while he was fishing.  He caught a bunch more walleye of course, that’s his story.

Aug 13

Doug headed out early while I finally fell asleep he got in around 9 said he had fun caught around 20 walleye with the biggest one around 22”.  We went out for a windy, tough afternoon.  After a couple hours we came in to catch out breathe.  We headed back out late afternoon to sprinkling along with the wind – very challenging came in cold, wet and very little success. No matter, beats working.

Aug 14

Rain, wind tough start to the day.  Doug had very little luck this morning.  We headed out around noon but after bailing the boat and battling the wind , it was close to 1:00 before casting – it seemed promising , both of us got hits right away but it was short lived.  Rain and wind won the day.  We came in soaked and cold.  As the day wore on the wind really kicked up along with the rain no fishing tonight.  We’re running out of wood to dry our clothes and keep warn.
Here’s hoping our last day is nicer.

Aug 15

Last day of fishing, high wind out of west 2’-3’ white caps and rain.  Very tough day for trolling but we caught fish.  Went out two times today total of 7 hours fishing.  This was my 22nd trip to KaBeeLo Lodge with many memories.

My tip to you future fishing pro’s is fish wind swept points, islands and rock piles – troll with live bait.  When you find them stop and jig fish.  Also don’t forget the beauty around us here.  Harald & Ann, all your hard work that you have put into KaBeeLo Lodge over the years shows from customer service, the clean base camp, great food, and the cabins are way over the top, My hats off to you.
Thanks for all the Fun!!!
Doug & Robin

Aug 19 - 22

This was our first time ever flying into a cabin in Canada to go fishing, so we choose KABEELO Lodge.  First (half) day here we did great we caught 5 walleyes and 1 Northern.  Wonderful sunset and the weather was terrific the first night. Our second day was great.  We caught 20 Walleye and 2 more Pike.  The walleye’s in averaged 17” – 27”.  We caught two 21”, one 22” and one 27”.  My dad caught a 30” walleye that seems to be a trophy fish.  I caught a 32” Northern to top off the night!
The Third day we were here there was thunder Storms the night before.  That day the fishing was very slow in the morning but I managed to catch a walleye off of the dock.  The fishing was very slow until 2:00P.M.  By 2:00, the fishing was great and we ended up catching 20 walleyes.  At the end we totaled 55 Walleyes and 4 Pike.  This was an Amazing Trip.

P.S.  No bugs, No bears, Tommy’s 16th birthday tomorrow!!! Steve Tuohy

Aug 24 – 26

After arriving the first day… wind & rain all day.  Rough fishin’, but we did manage to get 10 walleyes & 2 pike (believe it or not, we even caught 3 perch!).
20-30 mph gusts made it tough controlling the boat.
Second day, no rain but more wind.  Same gusting wind as the first day.  We were doing well on the east end of the lake the First day, so we headed back… not as good.  End of day we had 5 walleye and 2 pike.
Third day… would you believer - MORE WIND!!  Lots of hits all day, but tough setting the hook on the roller coaster.  Ended the day with 7 walleye & 2 pike.
All the walleyes caught were 14” –19” and the largest pike caught was 28”.  Walleye seemed to hit well on a spinner with a minnow.  Rough weather, but still fantastic trip.  Truly enjoyed having the lake to ourselves.

Thanks Ann & Harald for a great trip!
