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.
