I have been an avid outdoorsman and fisherman my entire life catching some of my first fish at the age of 4!

 

I have been an all around multi species angler catching fish in lakes and rivers all over Ontario. I’m excited to share my knowledge with everyone this summer and hope to help you all catch a lot of fish!

Part Time 1st Mate

As a youngster I was always outside, but the first time I went fishing, I was hooked! (To this day, 4-year-old me still believes that I caught the biggest sunfish in the world at Silver Lake.) Fishing has been one of my favourite things to do ever since. 

 

When I was 12, I went downrigging on Lake Huron for the first time with my neighbour. Thirty minutes in he hooked a large lake trout, which he let me reel in! The excitement of that day further solidified my love of fishing. For me, a great day is a day that I can learn more about fishing and help others find the fun in it too.

Chris began fishing in Northern Ontario at the age of "2 1/2" and he also never lost his passion for fishing!

​

He has fished Lake Huron since he was 4 in 1988 and has been a member of our team since its inception in 1988 until 2016 when family obligations required him to step back. He returned part time in 2018 and to back up in 2022.

​

We were certainly excited to have him back! Look out Fish!
We have one of the best fishermen on the lake here!
