We recently received some comments on one of our web articles by a frequent website user Sammy T asking a couple of very legitimate questions: “Are Rainbow Trout the same as Steelhead?” and “What is the difference between a large Rainbow Trout and what they all Steelhead?” Thanks for this Sammy as it is an […]

Last episode of the Outdoor Journal Radio podcast kicked off with two fascinating news stories, one of which looked at a recent study that shows that Lake Trout might not be aging – or even, aging in reverse. The Findings In the Experimental Lakes Area near Kenora, Ontario, researchers have spent the last 50 years […]

The familiar shaped/coloured fish in this picture might just surprise you as to its true identity. For starters, it is not a Pike. Nor is it a Muskie. Nor is it a Tiger Muskie. This fish actually puts all arguments to rest when it comes to the Walleye vs Pickerel debate.  We know, right about […]

Spring is a time of rebirth and awakening in more ways than one! After a long harsh Canadian winter, the water slowly returns to a fluid, and as the air temperature rises, so too does the temperature of the water. Eventually, a pivotal moment comes as the water reaches its maximum density at four degrees […]

Regulation booklets are not typically exciting reads but, as we learned this fall, some of the overlooked laws that are still tucked into our books today can occasionally provide some entertainment. Today, we wanted to walk you through a few of the strangest laws we have come across, both at home and abroad, and take […]

Outdoor Journal Radio is officially making its return THIS Thursday as a podcast and to celebrate, we wanted to walk you through a few of our favourite moments from the show’s long run on terrestrial radio and give some of our new listeners a taste of what Outdoor Journal Radio: The Podcast has in store […]

Today is going to be a day that you will either be for or against what I’m about to say. “Carp in Ontario should be considered a sportfish”. This is a firm belief of mine, ever since the first Fish’n Canada Carp Cup that we hosted. Carp fishing has been something that really gets hold […]

Vacations have been on everyone’s itinerary at some point in their lives. Whether it be to exotic destinations around the world, summer holidays at the cottage, weekend getaways, or staycations at home, we all need a respite from the rat race of modern society. My wife and I are no different. We have spent more […]

This morning, I spoke to a good friend of mine, Vic Carrao of STS Guiding in BC, to get a first-hand update on the flooding that is taking place in that part of the country, and I’ll be honest with you, I was shocked at the extent of the devastation that is taking place in […]

Angelo and Pete have put together five of their favourite Walleye fisheries in Canadian destinations. They said it was difficult to keep it down to five because Canada has so many great Walleye waters. So without further ado, in alphabetical order: BAY OF QUINTE, ONTARIO The Bay Of Quinte in Southern Ontario is one of […]

Writing about yourself is never an easy task. But when you’re soon to start writing for one of the largest and most loyal fishing audiences in the country, introductions are surely necessary. My name is Dean Taylor and I am the new Editor here at FishnCanada.com. My journey to Fish’n Canada started west of Toronto […]

Like so many others, I enjoy a good debate. Not a knockdown, drag-out argument but a good healthy debate. Weighing the issues with rational and logical company can be greatly beneficial to all involved, leading to a better understanding of the topic at hand. The angling world is no stranger when it comes to hashing […]

If you would have told me 10 months to a year ago that this pandemic would be a great thing for outdoor recreational sports and for fishing, I would have doubted every word. However, it certainly looks that way. Hundreds of new anglers have decided that the water seems to be a safe and fun […]

Written By: Calvin Pennell As a young boy, I developed a great interest in the inner workings of machinery. Investigating what made these intricate mechanical beings operate, soon became a lifelong endeavor. Over the years, questions and speculations about everything I was involved in, no matter the subject, raced through my head. The desire for […]

Good news. Hank and Tanya’s second book – Journey of 1000 Miles – is now out in paperback form. It’s an incredible adventure! I’ve spent time with Hank and Tanya and their dogs at their Winterdance Dogsled Tours business in Haliburton, Ontario. They truly live an amazing life, and their latest book depicts it perfectly. […]

One of the best ways to cook a delicious meal while out camping is to use the traditional Dutch Oven. It seems everyone that’s tried it are absolute die-hard fans. However, campers that haven’t cooked a meal with one generally question if it’s worth the weight and bulk. I generally use my Dutch Oven during […]

With the “well, I never saw that coming” year of 2020 pretty much behind us, we thought that giving our readers some ideas and encouragement regarding the 2021 fishing season might put a smile on a face or two. Although we are again tumbling in reverse (provincial lockdown’s etc.) we are going to be 100% […]

If you have been following Angelo and me on our seemingly never-ending deep dive into fishing electronics, you’ve most certainly seen our enthusiasm towards Garmin’s Panoptix LiveScope technology. It’s no secret that this game-changing technology has completely floored us. And now, it has taken the entire fishing industry by storm. I’m not going to gab […]

Well, Great Slave Lake is at an all-time record high water level, and the fishing has been absolutely amazing. The high water sure has played a big part in helping get my boat into places I could not go before due to the shallow water. It’s also causing me to go to places that I […]
