Kiporby	05/03/2018 08:22AM McKenzie Bay is very stained and not that deep. Doubt lakers are there. Only place I've ever "heard" of one being caught is west of Rose Island in the deep channel there. I wouldn't waste my time fishing for lakers on Kawnipi. I'd enjoy the boatload of walleyes instead. :)

AmarilloJim	05/02/2018 07:19AM Thanks for the info
carmike	05/01/2018 10:39PM Not deep enough in McKenzie Bay. If they're in there, they'll be in the main channel, probably on the north end of the lake. I have read that they're in there (in the BWJ, in fact) but I've never seen/heard any reports of any.
timatkn	05/01/2018 10:14PM Nothing deep enough in McKenzie bay. I have fished deep water on Kawnipi... some nice Northerns and walleyes can be had...behaving like lake trout, but no lakers for me. T
MagicPaddler	05/01/2018 05:02PM Somehow the lure of catching a laker on Kawnipi has cost me many hours of good walleye fishing.
old_salt	05/01/2018 04:53PM Stained and not deep enough.
AmarilloJim	05/01/2018 02:59PM What about the water clarity and depth in McKenzie bay?
arctic	05/01/2018 02:21PM Good luck finding trout in Kawnipi. I've scoped water over 100 feet deep east of Rose Island and fished the area for trout. Only caught pike and walleyes. I've fished Kawnipi many times over the decades and have yet to see or hear of anyone catching a lake trout there.
old_salt	05/01/2018 11:07AM Have fun! I’ve fished those areas. If you find lakers, you’ll be the first. I know it’s listed, but no one I know about has caught one. Enjoy the waldos and bass.
AmarilloJim	05/01/2018 09:21AM I've heard there was deep water around Rose island so I will circumnavigate that twice on my journey. Is there any deep water in McKenzie bay? Was thinking the water in there might be a little clearer and to their liking.
