We threw everything we had at them, but got very little in return. Our chart-plotter put us over some large schools of Walleye and Small Mouth, but the fish just weren't biting. There are a ton of U-Tube videos showing how good the walleye and bass fishing can be on Kab. The first three days of fishing on Lake Kabetogama were not as good as we had hoped it might be. Kab and Namakan have deep channels, but they are studded with many Islands and shallow reefs that make navigating and maneuvering an under powered 42’ houseboat a little challenging for novices like my brother and I. The 42’ houseboat was rented from Ebels’s on the Ash River, and it was very comfortable, but it was seriously under powered with only 60HP, which made it very difficult to control in high wind conditions. We started in Lake Kabetogama on Monday, but parked our houseboat on the Ash River in Sullivan Bay because of the high winds on Kab. The fishing wasn’t exactly “world class” but the scenery and the chance to relive old memories more than made up for it, and we managed to catch a few fish along the way. The area was beautiful this time of the year with the scent of pine needles in the air and all of the wild rice ripening in the weed beds. We rented a houseboat for the seven day adventure and ended up spending three days on Lake Kabetogama and four days on Lake Namakan.
The trip was fantastic and we both had a great time exchanging family stories and reliving prior trips to this area as boys when we camped and canoed the Minnesota and Ontario waters out of Camp Koochiching, on Rainy Lake. You must abide by Canadian rules and Ontario fishing regulations.My brother and I just returned from a 7 day fishing trip to Lake Kabetogama and Lake Namakan in Voyageurs National Park.

Only accessible by boat, the mermaid which was built in the 1930s, is located in Silver Island Narrows, near Copenhagen Island. There is a mermaid statue out on the lake. Each area has different fishing opportunities. Even though it is a larger, more open body of water, the tea-stained water in the South Arm, actually warms up faster than the North Arm and the fish spawn earlier as a result. The South Arm has dark stained water similar to the colour of tea and the North Arm has much clearer water. The lake is divided into three geographically distinct areas the North Arm, Red Gut Bay and the South Arm. There is also Red Gut Bay which juts out from the center of the L. The horizontal part runs south-east and is referred to as the South Arm. The vertical part of the L runs north-south and is called the North Arm. Rainy Lake is roughly shaped like an "L". The causeway was officially opened in 1965 and is comprised of three sections a the first totaling 2,000 feet, the second at 1,800 feet and the third at 450 feet. The Noden Causeway crosses Rainy Lake to connect Fort Frances with eastern communities such as Atikokan and Thunder Bay. Some of the main ones are Little American Island, Campfire Island, Dryweed Island, Big Island and Surveyor's Island. Rainy Lake covers 92,100 ha (227,604 acres) and has over 2,200 islands of which over 2,000 are in Canada. 
Excluding the Great Lakes, Rainy Lake is the 5th largest inland lake in Ontario. Roughly 70% of Rainy Lake lies in Ontario, Canada and 30% in Minnesota, United States.
