Fall fishing can be some of the best time on the water you’ll experience. The fish are putting on weight to survive the winter, the weather is often beautiful during the day, and there are no bugs in sight! The shorter days may limit the fishing time, but it does add to the amount you […]

Fishing trips, or weekends, or afternoons, for me are primarily about connecting with the people I’m with. Catching a trophy or finding yourself in a great bite is an added bonus that I’ll take, of course. Each summer, for about the past 30 years, I’ve headed up for a weekend of fishing with my father, […]

Only a few days back from our trip to Bulldozer Lake, it was time for us to head out for our week long family vacation at Tomiko Lake Lodge with a group of friends. This would be our 4th year, and our enthusiasm was high, looking forward to that perfect combination of relaxation, family time, […]

The days are growing longer, the temperatures are rising, and the ice is retreating, which means open water season is around the corner.

Good friends, great weather, familiar water, what could be better when it was time for the now annual guys fishing weekend? This year we’d be returning to the now familiar waters of the Bayfield Inlet staying at Bayfield Lodge. This was my second year with fishing with this gang, having secured a second invite after […]

If you have ever been on a remote Canadian Fishing Trip, you know that expectations for the number and size of fish can be high, and often justifiably so. Having become somewhat of a veteran of remote lake fly-in fishing trips though the last number of years, I was left wanting after our annual spring […]

August is the time for family vacation, where my crew (Carolyn, Hannah, Jacob and I) head north to Tomiko Lake Lodge where we join 7 other families for a weeklong get-a-way filled with campfires, swimming, relaxing, and of course fishing. This was our 4th year at the resort, and as it turned out, our best family […]

Every year I count down the days until I can get out on the open water and fish for my favourite species, Walleye and Northern Pike. I have nothing against other fish, I enjoy catching Bass, Perch, Musky etc, but my greatest joy comes from the challenge of catching Walleye and the ferociousness of Pike. […]

It’s Spring! Not only does that mean longer days and better weather, it means it was time to get the boat out of winter storage, and get it ready for open water. It’s an exciting time, re-rigging, getting the gear loaded in, and planning the first few destinations. For some folks though, they may be […]

I’ve been attending various trade shows related to the outdoors for going on a decade now. While I’ve heard from some people that they stopped going once big box stores like Bass Pro, Sail and Cabelas came along (and with them the discounts you used to find only at the shows), I’ve gone the other […]
