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.

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.

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 […]
