Diaries of a Lodge Owner

What happens when you combine the thrill of competitive fishing with the unpredictability of nature? Join us as we relive our incredible journey to the Vanity Cup in Nipawin, Saskatchewan. This isn't just about reeling in walleye; it’s about navigating a whirlwind of weather challenges, discovering hidden fishing gems, and bonding with a vibrant community of anglers. Alongside my co-host Will Pawlowski, a seasoned tournament veteran, we delve into the wild world of walleye fishing, from tackling harsh wind and cold to savouring unforgettable smoked chicken thighs at the Damn Smoke House.
Our road to the tournament was paved with unique experiences, from our strategic pre-fishing plans amidst the biting wind to the logistical hurdles of managing navigation chips. We uncover the excitement and camaraderie that define the heart of competitive angling, sharing stories of our pre-fish scouting adventures and the unexpected surprises the weather had in store for us. Listen as we recount our high-speed boating endeavours and the connection shared during the opening ceremonies, underscoring the emotional tribute at the Humboldt Broncos crash site.
