Van Poele – The Trip That Tested Us Before We Even Landed

Spring of 2023 and it was time to try out another great fishing outfitter. This year we’d be heading to Van Poele Outpost camp. The camp is located on the Van Poele River, which feeds into Kagianagami Lake, Kag, which is a huge body of water with several camps on it. We were put onto […]

Make Your Own Anchor

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 […]

Harrogate Lake – Cold Water, High Water, and a Couple of Firsts

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 […]

Sunshine Lake – Small and Mighty

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 […]

Fall Pike Success

Fall is my favourite time of year to fish. The fish are fattening up, the weather is cooler, and you can often more easily identify “where they will be”. When my brother and I decided to make a one-day run up to one of our go to spots at the Bayfield Inlet, we were hoping […]

Best Walleye Fishing EVER!

It was summer 2019 when I was at Brace Lake Outfitters for my second time, and having another amazing trip. I was in the main lodge chatting with owner Kyle Poleski when he said he had something he wanted to show me. It was the location of an outpost camp he had just acquired on […]
