I love to fish, and I love to eat fresh fish as well. I’m also an advocate of a responsible harvest of fish, which means respecting the open and closed seasons, slot sizes if applicable, and common sense when it comes to deciding to keep a fish or not. On my recent trip to […]

I’ve fished some bodies of waters for almost 3 decades, and I while I enjoy it, there is also something special about getting out onto a new body of water, and just trying to figure it out. That’s the situation I found myself in recently when I was travelling, and was given the opportunity to […]

This time next week Carolyn and I will be wrapping up our first of three days at Ellen Island Camp on Lady Evelyn Lake, hopefully already talking about our amazing catches.

Lures, lures and more lures! There are so many to choose from, and each manufacturer has there own versions, often very similar to others. Some lures are as effective today as when they were introduced decades ago, and every once in a while a new lure comes out that doesn’t just catch my eye because […]

This year our group once again planned on a remote fly-in fishing adventure in northern Ontario. This was our 5th trip together and we decided to try something a bit different. After 3 years of outpost fishing trips, we decided that a bit of electricity and indoor plumbing would be a nice treat. As is […]
