Hasse Lake is fire! If you’ve been a follower of the local fishing community you likely know that for years Hasse Lake has been the running joke. Whether it was a trout, perch, pike or walleye, every time someone caught a nice fish it was caught at Hasse. Thanks to…

  • Ice Fishing, Tackle Talk

I never thought I would need a product to keep my ice fishing hole open, but when I first saw the Ice Defence Pro in action on In-Depth Outdoors TV I just had to have one. For $140 CAD it kind of feels like a frivolous accessory, especially when you…

  • Trip Reports

I wasn’t going to post a trip report for my day on Pigeon Lake because… well… I got skunked. But even though I didn’t land a fish I think there’s still value in sharing my trip. Moon and Weather Patterns: We’re in the thick of the mid-winter slump. Fishing for…

  • General, Ice Fishing, Tackle Talk

My Dad has had a Vexilar FL-8 SE on the shelf in his garage since I was just a kid. Growing up, I had no idea how to use it, so I never did. Once I started ice fishing again as an adult, I quickly realized the value that a…

Using Circle Hooks for Tip-Ups

  • Ice Fishing, Tackle Talk

For the last two seasons I’ve been using circle hooks exclusively for my quick strike ice fishing tip-up rigs. The idea has been around for quite a while but I didn’t hear about this technique until last winter while I was reading the winter edition of Outdoor Canada. Tip ups…

I see on social media that there are a number of places that have yet to see their first signs of hardwater. I can’t even imagine what that’s like. Here, in the middle of Alberta, its about 8 weeks from the time the weather is too cold for open water…

  • Ice Fishing, Trip Reports

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…
