Jean-Yves, age 9 and his family from Toronto were enjoying their first vacation in Temagami and it was also his first canoe ride. After a smaller pike was successfully released, he caught this nice 2 pounder by trolling a green and yellow plastic minnow on a jig head. After a few frantic minutes, Doug netted it for him and put it in the canoe on July 16, 2007.

This young lad, Devin C., age 10, from Hamilton has been to Temagami quite often in the summer but this was his first winter trip and he decided to do some ice fishing. On a very windy and rather chilly -25 C. afternoon, the whitefish were biting well in a cozy heated hut. Within an hour, we had caught 4 fish, 3 of which were Devin's. He thought they were real tasty when cooked up in Doug's secret batter. February 4, 2007.

Kurtis G. was quite proud of his first fish when he and grandpa Rick spent an afternoon together on Cassels Lake. There's nothing quite like the smile you get with the first one! August 5, 2006.

After five years as a customer and catching lots of walleye and smallmouth bass, Nitsa C. from Port Perry finally caught her first northern pike, a nice 3 pounder. And as luck would have it, she was sitting on the dock, reading a book with the fishing rod leaning against the chair when the hungry pike was tempted with a worm and bobber set-up. August 4, 2006.

Noah S. (age 7) driving mom's boat for the first time all by himself. Let's go fishing! August 7, 2005.

Ethan S. (age 5) with his first pike caught with the help of Uncle Ed. August 7, 2005.

Jake D. (age 8) from Canton, Ohio was all smiles when he landed his first northern pike that weighed in at a hefty 5 pounds. Special thanks go to dad, Joe, for his assistance in getting it in the boat. Way to go-o-o-o Jake!
