In this episode of the Lake Kabetogama Fishing & Recreation Report, host Jason Sheehan sits down with Kolby Keeler—general manager of Driftwood Lodge and Kab Outdoors. Kolby shares his journey from scrubbing boats as a dock boy in 2007 to guiding fishing trips, bear hunts, and scenic tours across Voyageurs National Park.
We dive into current fishing conditions for early June, what’s working on the water right now, and why leeches have taken center stage. Kolby offers practical tips for walleye, pike, and smallmouth bass, plus a few memorable stories—including a dramatic deer escape from wolves.
Stick around for the debut of our new rapid-fire segment, Fish & Tell, where Kolby reveals his favorite lure, least favorite boat snack, and what Tom Petty has to do with catching fish.
Whether you’re planning a trip to Kab or just daydreaming about one, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and heart.
