January 5, 2016:  Happy New Year!  It’s been a very mild winter in Manitoba so far this year so I haven’t been able to get out ice fishing very much and the winter roads may not be built at all this year!  Creeks are still open and lakes barely have enough ice for snowmobiles so it’s very unlikely that they will build enough ice for the heavy trucks.  I was planning to bring in 4 new boats to Aswap Lake this year but it looks like we’ll have to wait for a better winter.

I’ll be on the road starting next week for a few weeks of All Canada shows in Chicago (St. Charles), Green Bay and Minneapolis!  I’m looking forward to seeing lots of familiar faces and to talk about fishing and hunting opportunities!  For more information on the shows, click this link:  Sportshows.
