This blog is an on-going account of my pursuit of improvement, with the hopes that this will not only chronicle my successes and failures, but engage others to share their own.
All Things Fishing, Trip Reports Oct 9, 2023
I’ve done my share of fishing trips over the years, and I’ve driven to most, and flown on bush plane to several, but in the summer of 2022 I mixed it up, and took the train! MarMac Lodge is located on Esnagi Lake, and is well known not only as a great fishery, but also […]
All Things Fishing, Trip Reports Jul 12, 2023
I had a number of great fishing trips planned for 2022. I’d already completed my first visit to the Miramichi River, to fish for Striped Bass, and I was ready to get into some serious Walleye action. Our journey started out with a first for us, having to make an unplanned landing partway to the […]
2023 Bruce Trail End to End Hike, All Things Fishing Jul 12, 2023
Having completed the first section of the Bruce Trail, it was time to carry on heading north. I again dropped off by my friend Nathan, who met me at my end point and dropped me off where I had last finished in Grimsby. I find it way better to hike back to my truck, rather […]
2023 Bruce Trail End to End Hike Jun 17, 2023
It was April 29th and my goal was to complete the final 25km of the Niagara section of the Bruce Trail. I again benefited from the shuttle services of my buddy Nathan. He met me at my end point in Grimsby, before taking me back to Balls falls to start the hike. I’m not sure […]
2023 Bruce Trail End to End Hike Apr 30, 2023
My previous two hikes were in some unseasonably hot weather, which impacted my hiking. Today I was heading out for leg three of the Niagara section, with nice cool weather and a dry trail. My goal was to hike just over 20km to get me to Balls Falls. I started at Short Hills parking lot […]
2023 Bruce Trail End to End Hike Apr 30, 2023
On April 16th I headed out for my next leg of the Niagara section of the trail. It was day 2 on this section, but I actually did a short hike of a further section a few days ago. It may be easier to read (if anyone reads this) in geographic sequence, so I’ll stick […]
2023 Bruce Trail End to End Hike Apr 8, 2023
On April 6th, I headed out for my first day of hiking the Bruce Trail. I travelled to the Southern Terminus located in Queenston Heights near Niagara on the Lake. The previous days had been very, very rainy, which is why I chose to head out the day after the storms abated. What I did […]

Fall is my favourite time of year to fish. The fish are fattening up, the weather is cooler, and you can often more easily identify “where they will be”. When my brother and I decided to make a one-day run up to one of our go to spots at the Bayfield Inlet, we were hoping […]
All Things Fishing, Trip Reports Apr 3, 2022
It was summer 2019 when I was at Brace Lake Outfitters for my second time, and having another amazing trip. I was in the main lodge chatting with owner Kyle Poleski when he said he had something he wanted to show me. It was the location of an outpost camp he had just acquired on […]
