AREA FISHING REPORT

Kabetogama/Namakan Fishing-Sports Report 10-3-11 

Fall colors, fishing, hunting great fall weather, it doesn’t get any

better anywhere in Northern Minnesota. 

Anglers all seem to be catching fish, walleyes, pike, sauger and perch.

Limits are scarce, but there’s a lot of enjoyment just catching fish. 

Jig and minnow remains the hands down favorite for walleyes.

Depth ranges between 22’-30’, rock pile edges and shoreline

points with sharp drop-offs appear to be holding schools. 

Windblown bays and weedy shorelines are kicking out northern

pike.  Sucker minnows and bobber combinations work great as well

as tossing artificial lures. Perch and sauger taking the walleye

offerings, best chances

are the lower depths near the 30’ mark. 

Light colored 3/8 and ½ oz ball head jigs were consistently the

best color choice. Weather forecast models look good for continuing a great

fall season.  You might find fishing in the morning to

afternoon, then switch to hunting could round out a great day.
