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 recall that my passion for fishing started at an early age, when groups of us would head down to the local pond to fish for trout, or chubs or suckers, or whatever would bite. We’d use those red and white floats and worms, eventually getting really tricky by adding in some corn, with hopes of catching… […]

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.
