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…
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…
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…
*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…

Side Imaging does work on a Kayak! Only after using side imaging on a boat did I realize what I was doing wrong on my kayak. I’ve had my Humminbird Helix SI on the Pescador Pilot for the last two seasons but found the side/down images so grainy and noisy…
I’ve been waiting all summer to book a guided fishing trip on the North Saskatchewan River and I finally had the opportunity this past weekend. Our summer has been a wet one and I was waiting for the river to calm down and clear up before I booked a trip.…
I’ve spent more time this summer fishing for walleye than I ever have before. It’s been really fun, and walleye fishing at Pigeon Lake has been on fire. Water clarity is still awesome with barely any algae and the temperature is right around 18 degrees. I’ve visited all the best…
