Some 250 miles northwest of the Carey Lake airbase, Napken Lake offers exceptional walleye and pike fishing throughout the season. With deep water, shallow water, excellent structural features, weeds and miles of river fishing as well, Napken Lake is exceptional. A new outpost camp has been recently built on the site, but the walleye fishing remains the same - outstanding !

Napken Lake also offers incredible pike fishing - with plenty of big fish. Perfect for pike, Napken has extensive weedcover, lots of shallow bays, feeder creeks, river cuts, islands, main-lake points and shoals that attract and hold pike. A versatile angler could fish northerns here a dozen different ways - and catch fish with every approach. Although the pike fishing is great, walleyes are the mainstay at Napken, and multiple limit outings are an everyday expectation. Jigging the points and shoals, trolling body baits along rocky shorelines or weedlines, and live-bait rigging the shallow bays will produce consistent walleye action. The absolute best fishing came from very shallow water on points, over shoals, in the bays, along weedlines.

In the wind, drifting across a shoal, point of island saddle solves the problem of boat control. In really tough weather, fish very shallow water, letting the drifting boat provide the movement necessary to prompt aggressive walleyes - most in the 2 to 4 pound range- into taking the bait.
