Kabetogama-Namakan fishing report 4/21/06

[Spinach]

KABETOGAMA-NAMAKAN ? Gateway Store, US Hwy 53 & CO Rd 122, 30 miles south of Int?l Falls-Canadian border, Phil Hart (218-875-2121) Spring has definitely sprung over this past week. Many days in the 70's made ice unsafe and no reports of fishing this past week to share with readers. A few boats were sighted on Kabetogama last weekend, but they had to dodge ice flows. Patches of ice shared the open waters on both Kabetogama and Namakan. The forecasts indicate continued warm weather which should clear the lakes of ice by mid-week. Northern pike should be in the shallows and fun to catch on Namakan, please release those big females so they continue to spawn. Crappie action will be dependent on water temperatures, look for them in shallow bays that warm early.
