My Canadian Angling Experience...
Walker Family Island - Est. 1964
While on his annual fishing trip to a Canadian lodge, my grandfather, Robert Walker purchased this seven-acre island in the North Channel of Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada. Learning how to fish for musky, pike, walleye and smallmouth bass on the vast waters of Lake Huron, where I have vacationed every summer since 1970, has allowed me to perfect my skills as a multi-species angler. I believe it was because of this that I have been able to live my dream as a professional fisherman and guide.
