As we see a concerted effort across the sport of fishing leading toward conservation, there are a number of initiatives anglers are taking to preserve the memory of that trophy you’ve returned to the deep to live another day. From companies that specialize in hand drawn fish art, graphite fish replica mounts, hand pressed metal replicas and even leather replica bracelets there are a vast number of ways to preserve your memory forever. However, the most basic of all, and the one that is probably the most economically effective is to simply take a good quality photograph of your fish....

WRONG! I learned a very valuable lesson 2 years ago while shooting a tv show at Miminiska lodge – specifically, fly fishing for walleye. I have had varied success fishing walleye on fly and entered this episode with skepticism – a lot of skepticism. Why? Simply because my previous experience fishing walleye on fly was work! A lot of work! And slow – watching paint dry kind of slow. A lot of time invested for meager success.

We had an interesting experience this summer fishing out of Miminiska Lodge on the Albany River. I was guiding three gentlemen, one from England and two from Norway.

It was August and it was HOT and Mim was seeing water levels lower than seen...

Sunglasses – yes sunglasses are a vital piece of equipment that should be in every anglers tackle box, scratch that, should be on ever anglers face – always.  Why?  Primarily, they protect your eyes from a number of things. Certain light spectrums have the ability...

At Wilderness North, there are literally walleye everywhere! They are thick as thieves in rivers, bays, on deep water structure and the like. They are a wonderful species to experiment with respect to tackle presentations as their numbers allow for a reduced variable factor. For example, if you want to experiment with different colors of crank baits, there are enough walleye in the system that you can get a real indication as to the populations reaction to certain colors because you KNOW there are fish there versus some other lakes where you are hunting for fish all over and maybe...
