Trip Report – Dec 15, 2019 – Wabamun Lake
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.…
Resources for Alberta Anglers – Part 2
It’s been a year since I posted the original Resources for Alberta Anglers. In that time I’ve began to rely on a few other sources of information that you, dear reader, may also find useful. The resources in my original post have stood the test of time and are still…
Trip Report – Dec 1, 2019 – Dolberg Lake
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…
HT Enterprises Nero Ice Auger Review
The HT Enterprises Nero Mini Compact ice auger is the best hand auger I’ve ever used. I’m so impressed with this auger that I’m not sure how much use my propane ice auger will get this year, it’s seriously that good! I bought the Nero late last season after I…

String Theory Angling is officially one year old today! This blog may have been online for a year but it was an idea I’d been thinking about for a long time. Blogging isn’t something that came naturally to me, it took me almost six months to figure out what to…
Ice Auger Blade Sharpening in Western Canada
*2020 Update Ice auger maintenance is important. Last winter I found myself at a remote lake that took me hours to get to only to find that my auger wouldn’t start. Eventually I got it running long enough to drill a couple holes but I was fuming that my auger…
The Best Fishing Rod Warranties
I sat down to write about the best fishing rod warranties that today’s rod manufacturers have to offer but do you know what I found out? Most rod manufactures offer pretty much the same thing. Typically, manufacturers offer a limited one-year warranty on factory defects and that’s it. Some do…
October 2019 – The end of open water
It’s nearing the end of October the days of open water are certainly numbered. I went out on Saturday for what will be my last trip to visit my new usual spot, Mulhurst Bay on Pigeon Lake, Alberta. The weather is certainly colder and the temperature that morning was a…
