TRAPPING, HUNTING, FISHING AND EXPLORING IN THE NORTHERN BUSH.

A saying I came up with as a fishing guide that I've carried home into hunting and trapping season: have your boat ready to fish, and everything else comes after that.

While I was away guiding for 114 days, someone set up camp in the back corner of our property in northern BC. I went back in to see if he'd returned.

I left home in May to guide at one of Canada's premier fishing lodges off the northern tip of Haida Gwaii. Here's what a full season taught me about discipline, energy, and finishing what you start.
