Hi y’all! We packed up another good group and they are now headed towards the border. Would you believe that we have one single week remaining? That is it. Every meal we make this coming week will be for the last time in 2013. I think if Travis was being honest he would say “woohoo!” …
This season has been a boom year for smallmouth bass on Parker Lake. In the past we have only seen a handful caught each season, but over 20 have been released this year! Historically, smallmouth bass aren’t native to this part of the world. They were actually stocked by the Ontario government in many lakes …
Happy Canada Day everyone! Just wanted to pass along an update on the mayfly hatch since we have fielded a few questions on the issue earlier this season. There was a significant hatch on Parker Lake in the middle and end of last week and I noticed a large number of mayflies on Red Lake …

The excitement is building as the 2011 fishing season approaches. We’re less than a month away and patiently waiting on the ice to melt in the Great White North. This year isn’t going to be a repeat of the record setting ice out we experienced a year ago. Hugh Carlson from Viking Outpost measured only …
Now that you’ve built your lindy rigs, you’re ready for tactics on the water this season. On Red Lake early in the season, you’ll find many walleye in 6-12 feet of water in the bays along weedlines, points, rock piles, breaks, or other structure.
