Experience Canadian Fishing at a Canada Fishing Lodge
September 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Have you ever watched one of those televised shows that show the fabulous fishing available in Canada, (or also known as the “Great White North) & wondered, can that really be true? Can the fish actually be so huge? Can the scenery be so spectacular?
It IS true!
From the eastern shores of the Maritime Provinces to the vast wooded tract of coastline on the west shores of British Columbia, Canada offers fishing that is so abundant & unspoiled, that anglers from around the globe visit each year, then subsequently return year after year.
All Provinces offer fishing that is unique to them, yet all are connected by a common theme, & that’s the huge expanses of almost undiscovered lakes & rivers in the northern regions.
Look at the Province of Ontario, 95% of its population reside in the lower regions that account for maybe 10% of its land mass. What’s in the other 90%?
Huge, crystal clear, lakes & rivers. Thousands of them! And all full of fish.
Whether one is looking for a weekend retreat that’s accessible with your family car, or the “trip of a lifetime”, a visit to a remote northern lake accessible only by float plane, this province offers it all.
Compare that to the even larger expanse of the Nunavut. Here’s a Territory that sits almost entirely north of the 60th parallel, & has almost all it’s regions inaccessible by roads. There simply are none!
But the fishing! Home to more I.G.F.A records than any other fresh water region in the WORLD!
Did you know the N.W.T is home to the 5th largest body of fresh water on the globe?
Great Bear Lake is 500 miles north of Yellowknife & the closest permanent road is some 300 miles away? Almost 12,500 square miles of crystal clear water, that’s under ice for all but, maybe 100 days a year. Water so cold, that fish grow so slowly they can be 60-80 years old.
Then consider this.
There is only one community on this lake. Maybe 500 people, tops! Four Fishing Lodges, over 280 miles of lake between one & the next closest! Ice free for just a couple of months, these fishing lodges can operate only 2 short months a year. Total capacity between them all is maybe 160 fishermen at a time, scattered over 12,500 square miles!
Also, consider Great Slave Lake. Situated some 300 miles south of Great Bear Lake, Great Slave Lake is almost as large an expanse of water, almost as isolated, but has the convenience of a bustling frontier type city, situated right on its shores.
Yellowknife, the territory capital is also the “hub” for many of the remote northern lakes & fishing lodges, as it’s serviced by a modern airport, with frequent & daily scheduled flights connecting it with more southern cities, or as the northerners call it, “the outside”
With stats like these, do you think these fishing lodges can offer a unique fishing experience?
You bet, there is no other place quite like it.
Why not treat yourself, & plan on a wonderful “trip of a lifetime”.

Boats Exclusive for Bass Fishing Activities
September 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment
You should be able to find several indispensable facts about Bass Fishing Boats in the following paragraphs. If there’s at least one fact you didn’t know before, imagine the difference it might make.
Knowledge can give you a real advantage. To make sure you’re fully informed about Bass Fishing Boats, keep reading.
Bass fishing nowadays uses equipments influenced by the advanced technology invented by man. Once, the first sport fishers used wood fishing rods and live worms during the first bass fishing games. Now, bass fishing is becoming easier as the modern anglers use newly revolutionized aluminium fishing rods and plastic-made soft worm replicas.
Most of the important innovation that technical people made is the electronic and motor-driven type of bass fishing boats that are well suited for particular conditions. Moreover, these boats are now available in the market and online shops for you to choose the best equipment necessary to aid you in catching more fish and win the competition.
First thing to consider is the type of boat to use. Boat manufacturers designed the body specifications of their products based on the body of water where they will be utilized, the water level, and the water current. There are boats that have hulls designed in a V-shaped manner in combination shaped with wide beam and strong yet lightweight materials for a smoother and drier cruise of your boat in extremely shallow waters.
They also incorporate the angle of water to roll of the hull, thus reducing the hull noise made by splashing water that alerts fish. Modifications in the water line of the boat also reduce the possibility of spraying water from the sea or river to the floor of your boat, preventing it from possible sinking.
Next thing to consider is the driving power of the motor. There are new designs of specialized bass fishing boats available to help you pursue bass fishes that swim fast in moving water, like the lighter peacock fishes. These boats are equipped with an average of 15 to 25 horsepower motor.
Diesel-driven motors are also an advantage since it costs cheap and can load up to 30 litres of diesel. Also, propellers must be running with the water current, not against it so that the fuel will not be used entirely on pumping up the motor to its rated capacity.
Some sports fisher wants a fully furnished boat deck where they can occupy and direct the boat to its destination. They prefer having in-cockpit bench with cushion that can be folded down which provides them safety and at the same time greater convenience. In the cockpit itself, they prefer fewer controls for easy reference of the functions, like steering wheels, nautical mile meter and other controls that are used in night fishing activities.
The development of the sonar or the “sound navigation and ranging” and its integration in the bass fishing boat is one of the most applauded innovations. Sonar is a technique that usually uses sound propagation to navigate and detect other water vessels and other forms of life beneath the water.
It is very helpful on the part of the fisherman because most of the bass fishes are traced through this instrument. There is also sonar that is capable of detecting fish even at night time. When they already detected their prey, they start launching their baits in order to catch them.
As time pass by, expect more innovations and developments in the bass fishing boats. All of these are for one purpose—to help the anglers catch their prey in an easier and convenient way.
