Trophy Fishing – Down to a Fine Art.

admin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:17:03 +0000

After 25 years of fly-in fishing at Kashabowie Outposts, Rich Koenig has trophy fishing down to a fine art.

“There’s always the potential of a giant fish,’ said Koenig, who along with brother Al brings groups of friends and business clients to Wapikaimaski Lake each year for Walleye in excess of 10 lbs. Primarily catch and release, Koenig said the quest is always to catch the ‘giant,’ and capture the moment on camera.

Because their trips are usually only four to five days long (he alternates between Wapikaimaski and Mosher Lake, where the group pursues large Northern), Koenig’s group is serious about fishing. “It’s a concentrated trip. We fish heavy-from morning until night.”

If trophy fish is what you’re after, Wapikaimaski Lake doesn’t disappoint, said Koenig. “I consider it a really good lake to that effect. It’s a huge lake -a totally different type of fishing.” A 20 mile long lake, it has many hidden bays and islands and fast water.

An added asset is the remoteness and the abundant wildlife. In his many trips to Wapikaimaski, Koenig says he has seen everything from otters and moose to two Caribou who crossed in front of his boat–making for some incredible photographs.

The four bedroom cabin offers “excellent accommodations” for up to 12 occupants and offers everything you need, says Koenig.

And thanks to radio phones (one of the new services added over the many years he has been a guest), “if you run out of anything, they’ll fly it in. They pay a lot of attention to their guests.”
Which means all there is to think about is finding that giant.

Catching fish is fun!

Big Walleye Gridiron Lake June 14th 2007

Hey gang,

Thought you might like this picture, it’s one of the smaller Walleye but
hey, we didn’t get any pictures of the bigger ones.

Biggest Walleye of 2007

This walleye was caught and released by Alex on Gridiron on June 14th – 32″ length 17′ girth. We were part of the Barry Bennett party that was there that week.

By the way Alex caught this on his 14th birthday! – It doesn’t get any
better than that!

We look forward to Wapikaimaski next year,

Barry B. & Mark G.

We had another fabulous year!

New Upgrades For The New Year

Canadian Fly in Fishing
At It’s Finest!

We at Kashabowie Outposts are always improving our Outpost Cabins and upgrading our Fly in Fishing accommodations with new amenities – like a new sauna, improved floating docks, new boat motors and much more.

Fern Duquette and Don Blair are very fastidious – especially about the Outpost Cabins. They review every detail camps each fall and again in the spring just after the ice is off the lakes.

We have an annual love-affair with attending Sport Shows to have a coffee with our old friends and guests – and we always like to improve our websites each year as a way of honouring the Photo Contest Entries from our guests.

Watch here for a long list of regular updates on our preparations for the approaching Fishing Season! (we heard the Farmers Almanac holds exciting predictions for anglers in 2008… )

We had another fabulous year!
