MarMac By Train

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 […]

Return to Makokibatan – High Water / Strong Wind and Big Walleye

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.

Bruce Trail 1 Iroquoia Section Day 5

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 […]

Big Waves Result in Numbers…of Pike!

It was time for another day trip up to the Bayfield Inlet. The last time we were here, we had generally slow fishing, but Chris landed two big beauties (and broke a rod). Conditions looked pretty good for us, with clear skies, modest temperatures, with some wind that had the chance to pick up. We’ve […]

We Took Gord Pyzers’ Advice – It Paid Off

My favourite drive-to area to fish has been my destination for over 30 years, and it keeps surprising me. In a summer where getting out on the water with a buddy was hit or miss (summer 2020), on a sunny day, with low wind, and the new phrase of “distancing” in place, Chris and I […]

Wolf and Grizzly Grill – A Review

Whether you are camping, hiking or like me, fishing, it’s great to have options when it comes to cooking meals. Often when I’m out on the water it can be tough to find a spot for a shore lunch, particularly if I’m looking to cook over an open fire. Problem solved, check out my review […]
