“I have been very lucky to have so many great people with me on this journey. We started this thing so that people from different reaches of Canada could relate the fishing in their home communities to other enthusiastic fishers who reside in Canada and beyond. I dreamed of traveling Canada and filming as far back as I can remember. The relationships I have formed with people from all over our country are very special to me. Many years ago a remarkable Canadian told me that if I meant to do my job well I would never be far from a warm meal and a place to rest my head at night. That has proven to be true. As long as God gives me health I will continue to make our program.  We are so lucky as Canadians to have true Canadian access programming.  We love making our show.”
