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 […]

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 […]

It was opening weekend 2015, and our group was headed to Brace Lake Outfitters for what was to be an amazing week of fishing. The lodge was ready, the fish were ready, we were ready…but the weather not so much. A winter storm rolled in that provided multiple days of sub zero temperatures, frozen water […]

Fishing trips, or weekends, or afternoons, for me are primarily about connecting with the people I’m with. Catching a trophy or finding yourself in a great bite is an added bonus that I’ll take, of course. Each summer, for about the past 30 years, I’ve headed up for a weekend of fishing with my father, […]

Only a few days back from our trip to Bulldozer Lake, it was time for us to head out for our week long family vacation at Tomiko Lake Lodge with a group of friends. This would be our 4th year, and our enthusiasm was high, looking forward to that perfect combination of relaxation, family time, […]

Having experienced multiple Fly In Fishing Trips over the past number of years, I was always wondering when it would be time to introduce my kids to the adventure. Through a series of unexpected events, it turned out that the summer of 2018 was going to be the time! My wife (Carolyn) and I, along […]

In my final post about my epic trip to Pym Island on the Attiwapiskat River, I’ll turn our attention to the incredible Walleye fishing. Many people know the Attiwapiskat as a haven for large Pike, but there are also an abundance of large Walleye to target as well. As I mentioned in my recent posts […]

As a follow up to my first post on our Experience on the Attawapiskat, it’s now time to turn our attention to one of the two species of fish we caught, starting with Northern Pike. Our trip having taken place at the end of May, after a particularly cold / late Spring, we knew we’d […]
