2017 Opening Weekend!

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. […]

Ellen Island Camp Review

Recently I had the pleasure of spending 3 days at Ellen Island Camp on Lady Evelyn Lake. This lake has 5 outfitters on it, and has been on my list as a potential destination for quite some time. I was further encouraged, and specifically to contact Ellen Island Camp, by Canadian Fishing Guide Mike Borger. […]

Fishing Isn’t Just for Buddies

When I started fishing as a young boy, it meant heading to the local creek or small pond fishing for trout, and usually catching suckers or chub. When I got into my late teens I was included in the annual Father and Son Fishing Trip. At the time I was 17, which was old enough […]

Hilmer Lake Fly In Trip 2014

I’ve updated this report on my trip to Hilmer Lake, with Hearst Air in 2014. I realized that my images did not show, so where goes. I did post my Shore Lunch video earlier, but it’s time to give the review! There were six of us on this trip, 4 who had been there before, […]

A Surprise Muskie

I was recently up in Haliburton to visit family, and had an opportunity to hit the water for a couple hours on a Sunday morning. Part of me like the short outings, as the expectations are low, but another part of me feels that an hour and a half is never enough! I went out […]

This weekend I made my annual journey to the Toronto Sportsman Show, held at the Direct Energy Centre. I’ve been going for the last several years, and it’s a nice break in the middle of winter, allowing me to get excited about open water fishing. I went with my brother and a buddy, and we […]

Two Lures, In One Fish!

I was out for a great morning of fishing today, again on Conestoga Lake. There were a few reasons why this morning was so special. First of all, the weather was spectacular, I love Fall weather, and it has begun. Secondly, we are still fishing this lake, whereas last year the water was too low […]

Nice Pike On Conestoga Lake

I was out on Conestoga Lake a few nights ago, for a couple hours of fishing. We were focussing on a specific bay, and working a shore line that was ranging for 10-20 feet. The fish were holding in the 10-12 foot range so we were working that depth. I tried using crawler harnesses, but […]
