Recently I had the pleasure of spending 3 days at Ellen Island Camp on Lady Evelyn Lake. This lake has 5 outfitters on it, and has been on my list as a potential destination for quite some time.

It was time once again for the annual Mills Family Fishing trip to Bayfield Lodge in the Bayfield Inlet in 30 000 Islands area of Georgian Bay. We’ve been coming to this lodge for over 30 years as a group (only 25 for me personally), and the weekend offers so much in the way of […]

Well, I’m late again! I must be delayed with the endless days of shovelling this year. Can you believe how much snow and cold we’ve been getting in Southwestern Ontario? I just keep reminding myself that in a few months, I’ll be fishing on that snow after it’s melted, and that it’s a good sign […]
