thoughts on of my past and future outings. Some of my greatest moments angling have come during the fall. Trophy class fish of all species are awaiting your bait to be conveniently placed directly in front of them for the taking. Musky, bass, walleye and the multiple trout species are feeding in preparation of the winter months ahead. This is a sure bet that they will be gorging on bait and exceeding weights that impressed you during the summer months. Please do not make the mistake I have done in the years past and put your boat into storage solely focusing on the hunt or changing of the season. Tough it out and you can thank me later - just have faith in the lakes you choose and you shall be rewarded greatly.
Nature walks and explorations with your loved ones, including spouse, children and loyal bread, while being surrounded by the changing colours is always an amazing facet of nature. This never ceases to amaze me. The way birch and poplar tree’s change to a yellow, and maples and oak trees change to orange and red hues is all pretty spectacular. The progression leads to the forest floor being blanketed in a sea of colours, and allows your sight to carry past the dense forest it once was. These transformations are a true blessing from Mother Nature that each one of us is truly grateful to have been provided the opportunity to witness.
I am not sure if you were able to wander off with me while reading these words, but I sure know that I cannot wait to build from these memories this fall and allow northern Ontario to spoil me at my every turn. Get your thinking cap on and be prepared for some of the best adventures of the year, leave the comfort of your home behind, dress for the occasion and put some miles in the wilderness that surrounds our wonderful communities.
