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
Moose lake is one of three Moose lakes located within the International Falls Fisheries Management Area. This Moose lake is located approximately 9.5 miles west of its closest town, Crane Lake. Moose Lake is 209 acres with a max depth of 6.5 feet. Access is by a private trail running along the west edge of the lake.
Bluegill gill-net abundance was 9.8 fish/set. Average weight was 0.46 pounds and ages ranged from 1-7 years. Total lengths ranged from 3.5 to 10.3 inches with an average of 7.6 inches. Growth rates are very good for bluegill in this lake when compared to the area average growth rate.
Northern pike gill-net abundance was 15.3/set which is nearly twice the catch rate of 75% of other lakes, in the same lake class. However, sizes are not that outstanding compared to what might be expected from lakes of this class. Total lengths ranged from 9.7 to 35.3 inches with an average of 18.9 inches. Average weight was low at 1.6 pounds indicating below average growth.
Walleye relative abundance was the lowest recorded on this lake. Catch rates were 1.2 fish/set as compared to 1.8/set in 1994 and 5.6/set in 1970, however average weights have steadily gone up, 1.8 lbs in 1970, 2.4 lbs in 1994, and 3.0 lbs currently. Total lengths ranged from 19.0 to 24.5 inches with an average of 20.8 inches. Growth is very near the average for what we would expect in a lake of this class. Five year-classes were represented in the sample with ages ranging from 5 to 15 years, however no small or young fish were sampled.
White suckers were sampled at 2.0 fish/set. This is quite low in relative abundance when compared to the 1994 survey (8.5/set) but similar to the 1970 survey (1.1/set). An average weight of 2.8 pounds puts the size of white suckers from this lake class well above 75% of the other lakes in its class. Lengths ranged from 7.8 to 23.0 with an average of 18.4 inches.
Yellow perch gill-net abundance was 46.3/set, more than twice the value of 75% of the lakes within the same class. Total lengths ranged from 5.4 to 12.7 with an average of 9.3 inches. Growth rates are very good for perch compared to lakes in the area. Average weight is 0.44 pounds which is also higher than 75% of the lakes within the same class. Eleven year-classes were sampled with a good distribution of ages; however the 2005 year class shows good strength making up nearly 20% of the total catch.
Pumpkinseed was the only other species sampled but only 3 fish were caught and were all small. Lengths ranged from 3.4 to 3.6 inches with a mean weight of 0.04 pounds/fish.
