After dozens of fishing trips, including many fly in destinations, I still get the same thrill of anticipation when planning for the spring trip, but this year there is some added excitement. Many things have come into alignment to allow our group of 4 anglers to not only take a fly in fishing trip (which […]

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 […]

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 […]
