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…
Happy Canada Day! I hope you had a great long weekend and were able to get out and catch some fish! The Mrs. and I managed to grab a campsite at the new Pinehurst Lake campground. I haven’t been to Pinehurst before but a few friends recommended it as a…
The missus and I were finally able to sneak away from work long enough to spend an extended weekend camping at Lesser Slave Lake. Since COVID-19 hit our little province, life has been quite different for everyone, us included. Although we were fortunate enough to keep working I don’t think…
Season opener is finally here! I know fishing has only been closed for 45 days but thanks to Covid-19 it felt like an entire year. I was eager to get my kayak back out on the water and I wasn’t the only one. There were quite a few of us…
It’s finally March! As the ice and snow start to melt the ice fishing action should start to heat up. This past weekend I made the long drive to one of the best tiger trout lakes in the province. Tiger trout are relatively new to Alberta and were introduced to…

Merry Christmas Anglers! I hope you’re all having an amazing holiday. It was a busy week at the String Theory household but I managed to squeeze in a morning of pike fishing with my friend, HuyFishin, at Lessard Lake. The south end boat launch was empty when I arrived and…
Today, I met up with friend and fellow angler HuyFishin’ from YouTube. He invited me out to Fallis to fish a spot on Wabamun Lake that he knew well. I personally haven’t spent much time on Wabamun, and when I did I usually stuck to the townsite and Provincal Park.…
Sunday morning was a brisk -20°C, but despite the cold temperatures my pal Cody and I decided we needed a trout session to get us through the work week. We traveled north to Dolberg lake and parked at the launch around 9 am. Once our gear was unloaded we surveyed…
Ice fishing season is here! It’s almost a week earlier for me than first ice last year and, given the warm weather, I wasn’t sure there would be ice at all. Black Nugget Lake is my usual first ice destination. The lake is small enough that it’s quick to freeze…
