Tree Stand Tree stands, there are many different kinds out there. Climbers, Hang-on, Platforms, and etc. By far my favorite are the ladder style tree stands.

The Larva, from Fanatik Lures The review today is for the 3.5″ Larva plastic, from Fanatik Baits. This came to me in a box from Simple Fishing, a Canadian focused fishing tackle subscription box. I had received a few packs of Fanatik plastics in previous RLM Elite boxes, and was always impressed by the quality. The Larva immediately reminded me of the mayfly…

We purchased and moved to an 80 acre parcel of land with mixed pasture and forest. We had previously lived in town. It’s a small town, but it was still in town with neighbors and…

Gozilla 4″, by Bam Baits Today, I reviewed the Gozilla 4″ plastic lures from Bam Baits. Bam Baits is a Canadian company and the slogan on their packaging is “True North Tough!” Tough is certainly an accurate description of the Gozilla, as these things are beefy! They of course have a variety of colors and for this review I looked…

The Bird River Route begins with a launch at Tulabi Falls campground, in Nopiming Provincial Park. From there you head east, passing through Tulabi, Elbow, and McGregor lakes. For the more adventurous paddler, the river…

I received this lure in one of my RLM Elite boxes from Simple Fishing. They have a variety of colors and I have received a few different ones so far. Bright, durable paint and a unique shape makes this lure…

A few months back, I wrote a post detailing my plans for a trip into the Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. Originally, the plan was to spend a total of 10 days paddling around the park. We would cover a handful of different lakes, fishing for big pike and Lake Trout the whole way. Plans never go as smoothly as…
