One of the most highly anticipated events of the year: the annual Fly-In Fishing Trip on opening weekend. The anticipation begins building all winter, but once the days begin to grow longer, and the temperature starts to rise as spring approaches, it reaches a fever pitch. This year we were heading to Pickle Lake, an […]

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. […]

Planning the trip is part of the fun, and if done well, you’ll spend more time enjoying yourself, and less time lamenting those “I can’t believe I forgot to pack…” moments.

Well 2016 is behind us, and from the perspective of spending time with family and friends on the water, and in the outdoors in general, it was a great year. The combination of sunny and dry summer, along with an unusually warm fall meant that I had more opportunities to get outside when the opportunity […]

It’s December 2016 and I’m looking back on a great year on the water, but also a backlog of adventures to post about. One of which is my annual Father / Son/ Friends fishing trip that is pushing 3 decades of history. This year we decided to try a different location, to mix things up. […]

Do you love to cook shore lunch as much as I do? Well if you do, the shore lunch can be the highlight of any fishing trip, but for some, the work that goes into a great shore lunch can be quite daunting. Not only packing the supplies, but creating a fire ring (or finding […]
