All Things Fishing, Trip Reports Jun 24, 2018
When I went on my first ever fly in fishing trip, I described it as a once in a lifetime experience, a real bucket list opportunity that I’d be able to look back upon and say “I did it”. What I didn’t expect was how that trip would magnify my love of fishing, but that […]

Good friends, great weather, familiar water, what could be better when it was time for the now annual guys fishing weekend? This year we’d be returning to the now familiar waters of the Bayfield Inlet staying at Bayfield Lodge. This was my second year with fishing with this gang, having secured a second invite after […]

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 […]

August is the time for family vacation, where my crew (Carolyn, Hannah, Jacob and I) head north to Tomiko Lake Lodge where we join 7 other families for a weeklong get-a-way filled with campfires, swimming, relaxing, and of course fishing. This was our 4th year at the resort, and as it turned out, our best family […]

Every year I count down the days until I can get out on the open water and fish for my favourite species, Walleye and Northern Pike. I have nothing against other fish, I enjoy catching Bass, Perch, Musky etc, but my greatest joy comes from the challenge of catching Walleye and the ferociousness of Pike. […]

It’s December 2016 and I’m looking back on a great year on the water, but also a backlog of adventures to post about. One of which is my annual Father / Son/ Friends fishing trip that is pushing 3 decades of history. This year we decided to try a different location, to mix things up. […]

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 […]

Getting out on the water for fishing trips, be they for a week or weekend, are not about getting away from my family, but going to a destination to experience the outdoors. A few years ago my father, brother and I were joined on our first “couples weekend”, which not only allowed our partners to […]

I recall that my passion for fishing started at an early age, when groups of us would head down to the local pond to fish for trout, or chubs or suckers, or whatever would bite. We’d use those red and white floats and worms, eventually getting really tricky by adding in some corn, with hopes of catching… […]
