About Me

I began fishing around 4 years old, I was introduced to it by my Dad. The first fish I ever caught is mounted on my wall; a 4” sunfish. It sounds silly but it’s a reminder to me that any fish can be a trophy or be tied to a certain memory of an event which can be priceless. 

Growing up, my obsession for fishing took over and I started fishing Lake Ontario targeting salmon and trout with my Dad.  Honestly, we weren’t that successful and thinking back, most catches were probably luck! But we always had fun and made great memories, we have stories that we still laugh about today.

Fast forward a few decades and here I am now teaching my kids how to fish for Salmon and trout while constantly learning more myself in the process. I love seeing how excited they get even over those same 4” sunfish.
