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 […]

Having enjoyed my annual father and sons fishing trip with my Dad for almost 30 years, the time was nigh to start my own family fishing tradition. I’m fortunate that my kids (Hannah and Jacob) both seem to enjoy fishing when given the chance, and I’m so pleased that they have begun to show an […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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, […]

I’ve fished some bodies of waters for almost 3 decades, and I while I enjoy it, there is also something special about getting out onto a new body of water, and just trying to figure it out. That’s the situation I found myself in recently when I was travelling, and was given the opportunity to […]
