Kabetogama / Namakan Fishing Report

Kabetogama-Namakan-Ash River Fishing Report 2-5-12 
Where do these weeks go and this March like
weather come from. Week after week of mild temperatures
is sure favoring the ice anglers. 
The 30 degree weather hasn’t phased the ice
conditions for anglers and sleds, still a good ride,
minimal slush and good load bearing clear ice. 
Anglers doing well with tip-ups enhanced by nice
weather. Pike biting on all offerings, some walleyes showing
they aren’t so finicky taking small suckers. 
Walleye action has been decent overall, many in the protected
slot being released with a few keepers along with nice
perch and an occasional sauger being caught. Minnow and
small jig made a good offering in 28-32’ of water. Late afternoon
bite into early evening has remained consistent over the last
few weeks. 
The most popular areas for fishing success have been short
jaunts off the ice road that runs from the Kab Visitor Center
to the Ash River Visitor Center. 
For snowmobilers, several businesses in the Kabetogama, Ash River,
Littlefork and International Falls areas are sponsoring the
Worlds Longest Poker Run, in fact you can start here for your first card. 
Land Trails still holding snow as of this writing,
not a bad ride. The lake trails have been groomed and
the riding is a little rough, but decent, the scenery is Great!
See you soon,
Phil & Ellen Hart
