July 14,
No one on lake so flew out that afternoon with two young men to work on tree cutting & other repairs. Went fishing as soon as boat & rods were ready - then the thunder, high winds & rain came. But not before we each caught four nice sizes Walleye.

July 15,
7-15-10 Woke up to heavy fog & light rain. Went out for a few hours before winds picked up & heavy rains came. Caught 11 better-sized Walleye. That puts Joan ahead by 1.

July 16,
Rain continued on & off every day but we still caught a total of 59 walleye. The best day was the last day. Of course Harald plans it that way so we’ll return again next year. Jim won the contest of catching the most fish, 32. Thanks again for a wonderful time.

First time here and we had a wonderful time. Caught fish every day 22” Walleye & 30” Northern were the largest. It was a real treat to have fresh fish every night. Saw a moose one night so that really made the trip. Food and housing was super!!

Aug 19 - 23

We came for the Pike and that’s what we got. Biggest at 30, 32, 33, 33, 40 & 42”. No Joke. 2 – Forty inch whoppers. We even caught a few Walleye. We learned again that there is NO easy way to land, and hook and release a pike with out undo harm to the fish and OUR FINGERS!!!!

Weather was excellent except for the very last afternoon. Very windy and the engine stalled. Luckily 50 years from the cabin. Whew!

Thank you KaBeeLo Harald, Ann & Staff

Sept 14 - 15

1st Day arrive 8 AM & on the lake by 10:00 catching fish. Had a good day. Kept 8 walleye for dinner & froze 4 walleye & 1 northern for take home. Caught a lot of fish but only the 15 keepers & nothing over 18” except for the Northern @26”.
All using minnows on Jigs. Every color worked, the best spots were across from the cabin off the point of the nearest island. Two boats working & about 50 fish per boat on the day. Our first experience with KaBeeLo’s & we are all satisfied & happy for the experience. Great trip sorry it’s only 2 days long. The whole thing would have been perfect if Tim hadn’t forgotten the milk in Harald refrigerator. Shopped & split firewood for the next guests & look forward to our next trip to KaBeeLo’s. We don’t even care which lake.  Finest Kind!
