I’ve been fishing the Bayfield Inlet for almost three decades, and I’ve had some great times there. A couple years ago, a group of buddies who have done their own guys weekend for years were in search of a new destination, so I suggested they check the area out and consider basing out of the […]

Our family makes an annual trip to Tomiko Lake Lodge, which is in the area of Crystal Falls / Sturgeon Falls, between North Bay and Sudbury. On this year’s trip I accepted an invitation to do some fishing with a couple friends who live up in the local area. Since I like fishing, like the outdoors, […]

It’s always fun to catch fish with a new lure, and this was the case during my visit to Shekak Lake with White River Air in the spring of this year. With a spring trip you are expecting cold weather and cold water, which means we were anticipating having to slow things down in order to […]

Like many of you, I keep an eye out for both lures that have been around for a while but I’ve never tried, and for brand new lures to the market. A couple years ago I was excited to try two new products from Rapala, the BX Minnow and the Scatter Rap. I’ve written before […]

Well we just got back from our short visit to Ellen Island Camp, having just put the kids to bed and unpacked the cold food. I have some pictures to go through and some writing to you about my trip to Lady Evelyn Lake. I also have a long overdue report for my trip 5 […]

This time next week Carolyn and I will be wrapping up our first of three days at Ellen Island Camp on Lady Evelyn Lake, hopefully already talking about our amazing catches. But if for some reason the fishing is tough, or the weather doesn’t cooperate, then the importance of quality meals becomes even more […]

This year our group once again planned on a remote fly-in fishing adventure in northern Ontario. This was our 5th trip together and we decided to try something a bit different. After 3 years of outpost fishing trips, we decided that a bit of electricity and indoor plumbing would be a nice treat. As is […]
