Field Journal

In this section of my blog I will be sharing some of my experiences on several of my most recent fishing trips. I found that by keeping a field journal of what I experienced during the course of a day or week not only helped me put more fish in my boat during subsequent visits, but gave me the opportunity to relive the experience whenever I was so inclined just by picking up my journal and giving it a read. Give journaling a try, it’s a great way to spend some time at the end of a days fishing, or whatever you are up to and quietly reflecting back on the day’s events.

The COVID Chronicles Given the world's ongoing COVID 19 travails and tribulations, we didn't know if our trip was even going to happen until the beginning of June, which was when Eric finally recieved the green light to open. "Partially" open that is, because given that the International Border was going to remain closed until the end of June (it's now closed until the end of August) none of his American guests who were planning to be at the lodge were going to be allowed into Canada anytime soon. Fortunately, he had enough Canadian guests booked to make opening the lodge viable from a business standpoint. Day 1'st - "Moving" Day We were down from our usual group of ten…

It’s fair say that I’ve now fished from coast to coast this year – well almost. While in Chile, I travelled along the coast of the Pacific before fishing several rivers that ran to the sea - this being the “almost” part - and just recently, got in some Cod jigging on Conception Bay North, in Newfoundland.

Day 1 Tripus Overlaptus While under normal circumstances, normal being something in rather short supply this year – particularly for me – I have about a twelve day gap between my week at Beaverland Camp and Esnagami Wilderness Lodge, and at least another six or seven day hiatus before heading off to Great Bear Lake.

Day 1st - Are We There Yet??? Truth be told, the total distance traveled together with good buddy Eric Lund throughout our stay was just over 10,000 km. – or about 6300 miles - not including the return trip, which would have brought the overall total to something north of 20,000 km.

Beaverland 2018 - My - What Big Teeth You Have Foxy!

This years Beaverland adventure had it all. People being stalked by wild – well sort of wild – animals, unfinished “Welcome Coolers,” stuffed mushroom caps, snakes on a plane - or in this case a boat – a dead skunk in the middle of the road, camaraderie, a haberdashery extravaganza, and ahem - much, much more!
