Visit Kabetogama Lake
The name Kabetogama has many translations. One of our favorites is “the lake that lies alongside another” (Rainy Lake). In the Ojibwe language, Kabe means “all” and Ogema means “chief.” At the Kabetogama Lake Resorts, we think perhaps it simply means God’s Country.
Don’t worry if you can’t pronounce it (cab-uh-toe-ga-muh) or spell it. Just call it “Kab,” and you’ll sound like a local.

History & Status of the Fishery
Fishmouth Lake is a small (32 acre) lake located within the Interior of Voyageurs National Park. The lake is only accessible via an unimproved portage trail from the west shore of Peary Lake or by going cross country from Browns Bay of Rainy Lake. Fishmouth exhibits very low productivity; total alkalinity was 7 ppm and the total dissolved solids was 25. Secchi disk visibility was 11.5 feet indicated moderately clear water. The shoreline is dominated by boulder and ledgerock and the surrounding watershed is heavily forested. Currently, boats are not allowed on Fishmouth due to the concern for the spread of invasive species to the Interior. However, the lake is largely accessible by shore fishing.
Northern pike abundance has varied considerably in Fishmouth since the first survey was conducted in 1971. During this investigation, we caught 8.25 pike/net, however, in 1983, abundance was 18.60 fish/net. Lengths of pike have improved however. In 1983, the average length was 20.6 inches and the average weight was 1.75 pounds. In 2009, the average length was 23.9 inches and the average weight was 2.7 pounds. The largest pike caught during our survey was 27.0 inches long and weighed 4.00 pounds.
The only other species caught in Fishmouth were yellow perch and two species of shiners.
