[legend fisherman]

Im wondering if anyone has visited Elbow lake out of Leuenberger air. We have to the opportunity to go early June. Im wondering how the size and numbers are for walleye. Thanks alot!

I'll make an assumption based upon flyins I have done that far north that you'll have no problems loading the boat full of fish.   Can't help with size however.

For me, Nakina is about my limit for an easy day's drive, being about 14hours....There's 2 very good outfitters there I've flown with in the past: Leuenberger's (leuenberger.ca/kag.htm), and Timberidge (timberidgefishing.com). With Leuenberger I can personally recommend Muskrat, Elbow, and Kapatawanga lakes. All fantastic fisheries, and great cabins. I'm fairly certain you'd have a good trip at any of their outposts though...With Timberidge I've been to Sim and Crayon lakes...both great lakes.

Check Mike Borgers site for a trip report I believe by fishquest. It's a good report on this lake and dozens of others out of nakina by fish quest. I'm sure the walleye fishing is fantastic with the added bonus of brook trout in the cat tail river within walking distance from camp

Thanks alot! Just read it and it sounds like a quality of quantity lake. We are definitely ok with that! We want big walleye...or try to anyways. The past few years we have gone to lakes that have huge pike and unlimited walleye just not very big walleye.

I fished Elbow Lake with Leuenbergers a long time ago, probably 30 years.  It's a small lake so there were not problems finding fish, not big ones but lots under 4 pounds.
