Kabinakagami Lake, known as “Big Kaby” is renowned as a fishing mecca by those who have been there. Fantastic fishing for Walleye and Northern Pike is complimented by great fishing for Yellow Perch as well as Whitefish. Fly fishing is popular as well with the opportunities to fish for Brook Trout and other species. Big Kaby is 25 miles long with 30,802 acres of pristine fresh water and is one of the headwaters for the Albany River, the extensive watershed flowing northward into Hudson Bay. Over 140 islands dot the lake so even on the windy days, you can find sheltered places to fish. Accessible by float plane, Big Kaby’s resources are well suited to the species found in the region. The quality of the fishery and the fishing experience is excellent. Kaby also has two large Bear Management areas (BMA’s) and holds share in the moose tag allocation system allotting them 4 bull and 3 adult cow tags for 2022.
