Just a fyi that I will be at the Toronto Sportsman Show on Feb 6,7, and 8th giving a presentation each day at the Isaac Walton Fly Casting lanes. If you are thinking of attending this great show be sure to stop by and say high!

I will also be at the London Boat and Fishing Show Feb 22 and 23rd at the Angling Sports booth sharing my knowledge on fly line selection and spey rod set ups.   

Trust  everyone is "wintering well", it has been a good old fashioned winter to date but hopefully there is only 5 or 6 weeks to go before we can wet a line again here in SW Ontario.

Another year in the books and was one to remember! A few of  the highlights, my personal best muskie landed on the fly, a 46.5 inch bruiser! A fantastic trip to the Skeena river near Terrace BC with 6 other very fine gentlemen, one who landed a 23 lb steelhead and was easily a fish of a lifetime! Another trip back to the Mirimachi with some good friends to instill the challenge and thrill of chasing Atlantics with a fly!  A fall to remember on my home waters of the Maitland River with a very early run of fish, super high water for almost 2 months, an early winter with 6 full weeks of fishing in the snow and freezing temps, but the challenge of that created some lifetime memories for me and a number of clients who braved the conditions and landed some georgeous steelhead!  Here is a nice pic of the last steelhead I tangled with in 2013. It was a great fish and had even a better story to go with it, shared with two good friends and it was a classic way to end 2013 steelhead season!
ALL THE BEST IN 2014.....may your lines be tight :)!!
Winter well folks!
