For years when I went on my remote fishing trips, I was always frustrated that there were rarely anchors in the boats. I can imagine why, they get lost over the years and they are heavy for people to bring in their own. A few years ago a fellow angler shared his trick, to just […]

Fishing season begins for me each year with a few milestones. First, I get the boat out of storage from the dealer, then I wait for May 1st for the local reservoirs to open so I can get it on the water and take it for a rip. Next I normally head up to the […]

Spring 2026 and it was time for the annual fly-in trip with Chris. After a great fall at Sunshine Lake, we were both eager to get on with our season of fresh water fishing. This spring we’d be at Harrogate through Leuenbergers. This was also the plan for Spring 2025, but I had open heart […]

Fall 2025 and our first fly in trip of the year. Our Spring Trip had to be cancelled to deal with some health issues, so both Chris and I were chomping at the bit to get out into the quiet of the bush to crush some Walleye (and hopefully a big Pike). It’s always tough […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
