In last week’s column I wrote about how my wife Shelby and I, along with a few friends took a trip north of Kenora last week to enjoy some moose hunting. We stayed at a resort, ate well and spent a good chunk of the week in the outdoors. It […]

Most of the year, my outdoor activities revolve around fishing, but since I was a kid, it’s a been a tradition to head north of Kenora for a few days of late-season moose hunting before the season closes after December 15. I enjoy getting into the woods this time of […]
Now that we finally have snow stuck to the ground and ice forming across the region, it’s time to start thinking about ice fishing. There is no doubt that anglers will be eager to get out there but let’s talk about staying on top of the conditions so that you […]
The mild fall weather that we experienced over the past month looks to be coming to an end as winter seems to be finally tightening its grip this week. For the hard-core anglers who enjoy every last day that they can in the boat, it’s been a great month, especially […]
When it comes to all of the folks out there who enjoy fishing, there is one thing that we all have in common. We can never have too much stuff. Across the Sunset Country Region, we get to fish for a variety of species through all seasons, so there is […]
A couple of years ago I got the opportunity to travel over to Australia to compete in a tournament circuit for barramundi, one of the most popular sport fish in the land down under. My wife Shelby and I jumped on a plane, and had one of the best trips […]

In last week’s column I wrote about the great opportunities to be had in the fall for anglers looking to catch crappies. This week, we’re talking about the other species that really seems to show up late in the season, the mighty musky, the apex predator in our region. My […]
The nice days are starting to get fewer and far between but there is still some time for anglers to get out on the water before the 2024 open water season comes to an end. Most of the fish species that we have in our lakes are catchable and bite […]
The final bass tournament of the season took place this past weekend on Lake of the Woods. The Frank McClymont Memorial Tournament was started back in the fall of 2012 by Rick Savage and has continued ever since. The one-day tournament took place out at Shoal Lake the first few […]
There is something special about fishing in places where there are no maps and a bunch of fish to catch. These are the places that receive little angler pressure and usually have the best fishing. This is how I would describe getting to fish the last stretch of the English […]
