National Lifejacket Day – Is It Time for Change?
For us at Fish’n Canada, our hearts sink in our chests whenever we read about a death on the water (like the CBC story we shared just earlier today about young Joshua Steinburg—just eleven-years-old when he tragically lost his life). As parents and grandparents, it’s difficult to imagine the pain of such a loss. Especially […]
Angelo Viola, the Fishologist
After a career that spans almost four decades, I’ve decided to change my role in life.

You weren’t alone. According to a recent government report, there are over one million of us that chase that little […]
Topwater Fishing, Why I Love It
I don’t think this will come as much of a shock to anyone that knows me, but my favourite presentation for Smallmouth Bass is topwater. Now here’s something that you might not know: I use it as much in deep water as I do shallow. Shallow and deep are relative terms, of course, but let’s […]
