Ice fishing season has arrived, and I’m so glad it’s here! Before this trip, I was going through some serious withdrawals. I hadn’t been fishing since early October and it was starting to show; I was irritable, couldn’t sleep, and I was always thinking about fishing. Like most early ice anglers, I turn into an amateur meteorologist when we’re talking …
Today is the second anniversary of my blog, String Theory Angling! Wow, time really flies when you’re having fun. Even though we’ve all had one heck of a year I’m happy that there was one area of life that was able to stay relatively the same, fishing and the outdoors. It’s no secret the kayak fishing scene has really been …
Christmas is the perfect time of year to get the ice fishing enthusiast in your life the perfect gift! Personally, I might enjoy ice fishing more than I enjoy open water fishing. There is something truly awesome about sitting in a warm tent with friends and family, catching fish, while there’s a blizzard outside! Below, I’ve listed some of my …

As October comes to an end I realize I already had my final kayak fishing trip of the season. Although I’m sad to see it end, I’m glad my trip to Beaver Lake was it. Don’t get we wrong, I would have loved to get out a few more times, but the best way I could think of ending my …
The Western Canada Kayak Fishing Trail – Freshwater Summer Slam Series is officially over! Boy, that name is a mouthful. Congratulations to everyone who participated and grinded it out for the competition. It was great to be able to look forward to a little camaraderie and friendly competition during such a strange and sometimes difficult summer. Since the only thing …
I mounted my Humminbird Helix 5 SI on the Bigwater PDL 132 as soon as the kayak came in, but I wasn’t 100% satisfied with how it was installed. There were just some small details that I thought needed some improvement. After experimenting with the fish finder and transducer locations and trying out different mounting options, I feel like now …
I’d been looking forward to a fishing trip to the mountains when, at the last minute, my fishing partner had to cancel. This left me with my bags packed and a blank slate for a weekend. I certainly wasn’t going to stay home, so I decided I would take a solo road trip and hit some of the best late …
The only downside to being a kayak angler is that I’m a slave to the weather. Slave Lake is one of Alberta’s biggest bodies of water and, when the wind picks up, it can be one of the nastiest. We set out for Hilliard’s Bay Provincial Park and the forecast looked amazing, they were calling for sunny skies and warm …
After months of waiting and wondering, my Old Town Bigwater 132 PDL has finally arrived at its new home! Due to extremely high demand and supply chain shortages across many industries, it took months for Old Town to be able to fill even the first orders that came in for their new line-up. When Old Town released the updates for …
