"The great charm of fly-fishing is that we are always learning."
- Theodore Gordon
The same can be said about any type of fishing. It is always good to learn new things about our favourite sport. I decided to start this blog to document what my friends and I have learned over our fishing careers and share useful information that we may obtain along the way.
We wish to help answer questions around fishing you might have such as:
- How do I get started in fishing or fly fishing?
- What gear do I need to fish?
- Where do I get a fishing license?
- What fly or lure is the best?
- Is it safe to eat wild caught fish?
- Why practice catch and release?
- And much more...
Where did Bryan fish?
My first memory of fishing was on a small in-land lake with a volcano in the middle in the Philippines called Taal Lake. This photo was taken in front of my late godfather's lakeside house on a windy day. This is also the same spot where I had my very first cast using a long bamboo stick, a thick sewing thread as fishing line, a small hook, and snail guts as bait, similar to the Tenkara Rod setup. A few casts later, a small Tilapia was at the end of my line and I was hooked from then on.

After moving to Canada in my teens, I've develop a stronger interest in researching the local fish species Ontario has to offer. We first started fishing for Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Northern Pike on conventional tackle. A few years later we were introduced to Fly Fishing and started targeting Trout and Salmon on the fly rod.
