8 hard-earned lessons for fishing a backcountry lake you've never seen before • Outdoor Canada (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was after dinner and still fully daylight when I steered us toward the most prominent island on Dayohessarah Lake. We were three days into our week-long outpost trip in northern Ontario. Dayo, as it’s commonly called, is a classic Shield lake known for its strain of wild lake trout, with genetics going back to the last ice age, unspoiled by even a whisper of stocking. A south wind had been sweeping down the long narrow basin of the lake, strengthening throughout the day, and whitecaps had app

Ask most anglers in Central Canada to picture a fly-in fishing trip and they’ll describe, with some accuracy, a full day—or maybe two—of driving north until the Tim Hortons signs thin out and disappear, followed by another stretch of gravel road and, eventually, a floatplane. This is a reasonable assumption. I’ve done enough fly-in trips to know that the drive can be almost as much of an undertaking as the fishing itself. True North Airways offers a pretty different proposition. Its base is in A

Why is the fish doing that? I wondered. One early piece of fly-fishing advice that stuck with me was to observe moving water before plunging into it. On this summer morning, I was watching a trout near a boulder rise every few minutes. The confusing part was that it was clearly upstream of the boulder—not behind it, where I’d always been told to cast. At that point, I’d spent much more time reading about fly fishing than doing it. I was book-smart, but river-dumb, struggling to translate diagram
Why you can recognize anglers by their vehicles—even before you see them on the water • Outdoor Canada (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few years back, I joined a group of kayak anglers I’d never met in person before. As we rigged our boats in the parking lot, I found myself looking at their cars and, more furtively, peeking inside them. One had a clever homemade rod rack fastened to the interior ceiling, and built-in tackle drawers. Another had a net handle jutting from a rear seat. And one had lifejackets for a family of four crammed against the hatchback window. I quickly knew what all that meant: these were my people. The
