Fly-In Fishing
Kag Lake is an awesome fly-in outpost lake if you like Big Walleyes, Monster Northern Pike, Gigantic Lake Trout, and nice Brook Trout.
Walleyes - Walleyes in the lake average over 3 pounds and there are lots of big ones over 10 pounds. There are spots between the islands where you will catch one Walleye after another but generally, they are smaller in the 1 to 2-pound range. If you don't mind catching fewer Walleyes but want big ones that are consistently in the 3 to 5-pound range with much bigger ones thrown in, then you need to put on some Perch-colored Rapalas or Thundersticks and troll down the shore on the west side of the lake. If you are farther than 20 feet from shore you will catch nothing. In Kag Lake, the Walleyes are right up against the shore in spring, summer, and fall. The reason is Kag Lake is 300 feet deep and 30 feet from shore it's already 50 feet deep. You can also cast jigs at the shore and literally drag them off the rocks into the water. The Walleyes are right at the rocks. Actually, Walleyes in this lake act more like Smallmouth Bass.
In the evening the big massive females come out of the deep water and right up into the narrows by the camp. About 30 minutes before dark head to where the narrows meet the lake. If you troll very slowly with a Blue J-11 Jointed Rapala in about 3 to 5 feet of water along the shore or across the mouth you will hammer some trophies. Right at dark until about an hour after dark, you should catch a few in the 6 to 10-pound range, and don't be surprised if you hook into something bigger. There are 20-pound Walleyes in this lake.
Brook Trout - If your group targets Brook Trout you will do quite well.

Outpost Camp Guidelines
So, You Are Going to an Outpost Camp
An Outpost Camp is not a Lodge. You must be able to take care of yourselves. We will not be there to service or clean the camp when you leave. At an outpost camp, you must be able and willing to do the following:
Required Tasks:
- Gas and maintain a generator
- Gas and start your boat motor
- Change out a propane tank for the stove, fridge, grill, and relight any pilot lights
- Clean the cottage/camp before the end of your trip:
- Bag up all garbage, bottles, cans, etc. for your flight out
- Do all the dishes and clean the stove and fridge (leave no food in the camp)
- Sweep and mop the cabin floor
- Clean the fish cleaning area (all fish cleanings must be disposed of in the middle of the lake)
Call the Outfitter (satellite phones provided) for instructions, pick-up time, and to report the number of empty fuel cans/propane bottles the night before you get picked up.
Important Note: Chances are that another group is coming in as you are leaving. They are entitled to come into a clean orderly camp. No exceptions.
If you are unwilling or unable to complete these tasks, you may want to consider our drive-in camp as it has more services.
We always aim to provide great experiences at our camps. I hope we have cleared up any confusion about outpost camps. We look forward to serving you.
