I think fishing might be one of those activities that have a strong “totally in” or “totally out” aspect to it. That’s cool. I get it. Not everything is for everyone. I also know what life is like on the other side. The side that thinks fishing might be the single greatest thing in the world. I’m well into my 30’s, and I can’t think of many things which get me so pumped that I can barely sleep the night before. So pumped you barely sleep, yet you still jump out of bed with more energy than you do any weekday after 8 solid hours. At some point in your life, that ability so get over the top excited about, well, anything really… just sort of fades. That’s not good. Fishing still provides that for me, and I’m thankful I live where I do. The problem in this province is not finding a lake to fish, it’s choosing one of the 100,000 lakes. There are literally hundreds of great options within a few hours of home, and catching fish once you arrive is never a problem.

From Crowduck to the Duck Mountains, from Little Limestone to Flintstone. LDB to LOTP. 100,000 options for awesome.
