For years when I went on my remote fishing trips, I was always frustrated that there were rarely anchors in the boats. I can imagine why, they get lost over the years and they are heavy for people to bring in their own. A few years ago a fellow angler shared his trick, to just […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
