The connection (river) to Leech is long, narrow, shallow, and weedy. You would need a canoe or duck boat to navigate with the low water we are having. A fun trip, if you have the time and equipment. Use a paved road and trailer if you want to fish leech. Launch at the ramp between Kabekona Bay (Leech) and the main lake. Kabekona lake is clear, sandy, and beautiful. Fishing is decent (I have heard). I am pretty sure there is a Lakemap brand map for that lake.

I thought Kabekona was attached to Leech, but looking at a (crappy) map it doesn't appear to be connected. If my memory serves me right, I thought there is a shallow river that will take you from Benedict Lake (another lake attached to Leech) to Kabekona. I could be wrong. <P>

I grew up fishing Kabekona lake. Deep clear and not the best fishing in the area. If your looking for real trophy walleye it is a good bet.<P>I have not fished it recently but this time of year the humps should hold some fish. I have caught most of my bigest walleyes during mid day on the humps. Also the last hour of daylight may produce some eyes.<P>In my younger years (when the amount of sleep I got was not an issue)I caught lots of walleyes trolling shallow water at night.<P>As for the northern, I don't know but I would fish the north west in of the lake.<P>If you need more info e-mail me and I can get you started.<P>Tom Wilson

Fished Kabekona the last of July and the first part of August. Caught lots of 24 to 28 in walleyes. Most of them caught at night using the shallow running rapaplas in the flats. Also caught some on the northwest side by the rushes also at night. Another place in the sunken islands with slip bobbers and leeches. Had lots of fun with my kids in the early morning casting in the northwest corner with spoons and jigging with big minnows for northerns. lots of weeds by the white cabin by the northwest corner another good place to cast and jig with minnows. Trolling on the North side of the lake was fun for northerns caught a lot with the doctor spoon. There is a lake connected to Kabekona that has lots of northerns and smallmouths also a good place to go casting with bass spinners. I Think you can get to leech from kabekona but it will take you awhile. I have stayed at Pine Aire and Browns Silverbeach. My father in law has been going there since the early 40's. My wife has been going there since she has been a baby. Even spent my honeymoon at the lake at my wife's request. I have had lots of fun at the lake and I can't wait until next year. Good luck.

Benedict and Kabekona Bay are connected by a river. Decent depth I have a 20' IO and have no problems. Comes into Kabekona Bay right beside Bailey's Resort. Kabekona River comes into Kabekona Bay on the Northwest cornor of Kabekona Bay on the other side of Bailey's Resort. Have taken my boat up 3/4 mile in June and that's it. WEEDS.<BR>Have caught nice Northern in the river, however. I also have launched at the ramp just outside of Kabekona Bay right by the bridge. Good ramp and parking. Good fishing

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
