361 Days

In only 361 days some of the world class anglers pictured here will be once again on their way to writing another chapter in the walleye fishing record book.

Kagianagami 2010

A reservation has been made with Leuenberger's for 10 - 12 people at Kag Lodge 6/12/10 - 6/19/10 (Saturday to Saturday). Anyone who is interested in going should let me know in the next several months (i.e. hopefully by Christmas or so). They have reserved 2 cabins for us (Cabins #1 and #2). Each sleeps 6 and has a full kitchen. They do have a single cabin which would hold all 10 - 12 of us and we could change to that if we let them know in the next several weeks. While the single cabin does have some advantages (room to easily all sit together).....the lady taking the reservation pointed out that it only has one bathroom making for quite a "logjam" (insert pun here) at certain times - like when everyone wants to shower. For this reason she suggested the two cabins and I opted for that. However, if the idea of "all in one cabin together" trumps the reality of "two bathrooms", let me know in the next few weeks and I will make the change. In fact, I may make the change anyways just to see what hilarity might ensue.

More information regarding costs, travel, who's going and who's not, food plans, weight limits and distributions, packing lists, fishing tips, rod and reel availability, bait, beverages, etc. will follow at the appropriate times.

Kagianagami Lake

Kagianagami Lake (Kag Lake) - or as Leuenbergers sometimes spell it - Kaganagiami Lake is a 20,000 acre lake approximately 60 miles northwest of Nakina, Ontario. It is known as one of Ontario's premiere walleye fishing lakes and was highly recommended to us a few years ago by Mr. Eli Baxter. It was at Kag Lake that E. Crede Hiestand uttered his famous quote, "If catching large numbers of big walleyes could ever become boring, I think we've just about reached that point."

Kagianagami is different from Makokibatan in a number of aspects :

1) Kag is a clearer, less tannin-stained lake.
2) Kag is not directly on the Albany River but instead drains north via the Opichiwan River to the Albany.
3) 3 other outfitters have fly in cabins on Kag in addition to the 5 cabins at the Leuenberger camp.
4) The lake has numerous islands providing both tons of structure and the opportunity to momentarily lose ones bearings if not paying attention.
5) The lake has some very deep areas and supports a good lake trout population.
6) Leuenbergers offer a choice of 3 different plans : housekeeping, modified American, and American plan. All of the cabins have kitchens.
7) The boats have 15 HP motors, but getting to the end of the lake takes about 20 minutes - the lake is much more circular than Makokibatan.
