Lake Trout Mecca - Part 1 - Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories
Professional angler Alex Keszler, Steve MacInnis and Plummers Lodge head guide Bob Williams, team up for a week of trout fishing in paradise. The fishery on the northeast arm of Great Slave Lake is incredible and serves up impressive Lake Trout regularly. On day one Bob and Alex share a boat and except for the break for shore lunch it's non-stop action. This episode was filmed entirely on this day. It's not very often Alex is out fished by anyone but on this day Bob puts on a clinic, reeling in most of the really big ones. Absolutely fantastic fishing and more to come in Parts 2 and 3. |

Winter Walleye Adventure - Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba
Guest host Alex Keszler, Bob Williams and Logan Zimmerman travel by snowmobile across the snow covered ice in search of Lake Winnipeg's famous greenback Walleyes. It's the 10th largest lake in the world and at 24,000 square kilometres, the vastness of this lake can be intimidating. Fishing from a shelter or shack in one spot is a hit and miss approach. This group is highly mobile moving systematically as they hone in on the hot pattern of the day. Their tactics result in some fast-action and big Walleyes being pulled up through the 5 foot thick ice. Throughout the day the guys share ice fishing knowledge and tips to help anyone be a better ice angler. Catching a Lake Winnipeg greenback is a uniquely Manitoba experience enjoyed by thousands of anglers each year. One of the easiest ways to try your luck is ice fishing. We'll visit one of the biggest ice fishing events in Manitoba, the AYA Ice Fishing Fundraising Derby near Chalet Beach. Located along the south shore of the lake just north of Winnipeg, this family friendly event is a great way to experience Lake Winnipeg and have a shot at catching a big fish and winning great prizes.
