This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I met Gunther last year at a KAAO meeting, what an inspirational and funny guy. If you have a chance, I highly recommend checking this doc out.

We just featured the doc in Thunder Bay last weekend and Mr. Gord Ellis took in the film. He posted the following piece on CBC Radio North

Later this week a Blue Fish Radio interview with Gord will go live that we recorded after a day spent wading 1-degree Steelhead rivers along Superior's north shore.
