Northern British Columbia Fishing...........

This is a little bit outside of Ontario; however I did live here for seven years and not only was the fishing excellent, the moose hunting was the best I'll ever do in my life. Back on topic regarding the fishing....I lived in the Town of Stewart BC; which sits on the end of the Portland Canal (Pacific Ocean) on the border with Hyder , Alaska. The fish in this photo were caught in the harbor in January trolling a cut plug. It took me about two hours. These fish had so much fat on them it was unreal, good fighters I might add. They all ended up in the smoker. Crossing over into Hyder Alaska , populatiom of around 100 people, if you drive just out of town the State of Alaska built a Grizzly and Black bear viewing platform. Some brave fisherman attempt to fish downstream of the platform, however I never felt the need to tempt fate. Meziadin lake is also an excellent choice, I usually always caught my limit of Dolly Varden on the far side of the lake trolling about 10 feet from shore in 4-6 feet of water. On one occasion I was using an old push button reel, with a very small Clio.......much to my surprise I thought I was caught on bottom........"Big Surprise" a 54 pound Chinook...worst part I had to throw it back as once they reach the lake you can't keep them. If you are wanting excellent fishing; Terrace BC, can't be beat, springs, pinks, steelhead, sockeye.............I'll post more info in the future.....

Dry Bags for camping, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hunting

This is another one of those pieces of equipment that every outdoors enthusiast should consider a necessity. Let's face it we've all been out on a lake in a canoe or kayak, loaded down with gear, weather forecast said " Clear skies, chance of precipitation 10%". OK, well how do you explain the torrential downpour that lasted for four days, after we were already 10 miles from the dock. All our gear was floating in water; clothes soaked, electronics fried, food all soggy..........not even a dry piece of clothing. So now you can relate to what I'm saying.......I instantly took you back to that exact experience. With these dry bags which come in various sizes and configurations; it makes trips like the one I mentioned a bit more bearable. I now own numerous dry bags all suited to a different purpose; they're awesome!

Head Lamps Have Come A Long Way

The technology in todays head lamps is phenomenal; every outdoors enthusiast should have one in their pack. If you do purchase one, do your research and don't skimp on price. In todays market you get what you pay for......I personally use a 3 light unit and find it more than adequate. One of the best things about headlamps is the ability to function hands free..walking working, reading maps, fishing, hunting, hiking...........they're awesome
