Explore 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
Little Johnson is located about 10 miles northwest of Crane Lake, MN. The lake is 481 acres and 98% is less than 15 feet deep. The lake is connected to Johnson Lake by the Johnson River. The fish community is fairly diverse and is managed primarily for walleye and secondarily for northern pike.
Northern pike abundance and average weight were within the typical ranges for this lake type. The average weight was 1.31 pounds and the average length was 18.8 inches; fish up to 23.0 inches were sampled.
Smallmouth bass are abundant and sizes should provide great fishing. Fish up to 18.0 inches were captured in the 2010 investigation and the average was 13.9 inches. The average weight was 1.56 pounds.
Walleye abundance was within the typical range for this lake type, but lower than levels historically seen in Little Johnson Lake. Size was above average and should satisfy anglers that are seeking walleye. Average weight was 1.76 pounds, which is heavier than the typical range for this lake type. Fish up 25.6 inches were sampled and the average was 16.5. Growth rate was much greater than the area and statewide averages.
Yellow perch were sampled but sizes were small and are likely more important as forage for predators than as a recreational fish for anglers. Very few fish above 9 inches were sampled.
