June 3 – 5, 2010 There were no complaints about the incredible first day of fishing we had on Pagato Lake. I have never caught so many quality walleye on the fly in a day. In fact, during our next three days on Pagato, I’ll bet I landed sixty or more! However, this trip is … Read more
June 2, 2010 Our cabin is very simple and located on a scenic little beach on the north end of Pagato Lake. We have a porch that overlooks the water and that’s where I sucked down a cup of coffee while going over my gear listening to loons between 6 and 7 am. It was … Read more
June 1, 2010 It was a rowdy celebratory night at the old Thompson Lodge last evening because of the Stanley Cup Hockey Game. That’s a sacred night in any part of Canada. We watched the game over a few drinks and then went back to the cabin and cooked up the walleyes we caught. This … Read more

May 15, 2010 Sixth Day – Rooster Chaos Sammy, Grant and I left early for the beaches this morning. It was our final day and we wanted to make it a good one. In spite of the fact every bone and muscle in our bodies ached as if we are a few of old guys … Read more
Fifth Day Today we went back to the island. We left our hotel at 4:30 am and met up with Roberto (the dude with the boat that we hire to drive us to the island) at 6 am. The Sea of Cortez was calm and our trip out was smooth and dry. We had high … Read more
Fourth Day In 1996 some great friends and I drove to Baja from Jackson, WY. We had a pickup truck camper and towed a fourteen foot tin boat. We almost got killed in that tiny boat several times because it was the El Nino year. The wind and waves were so bad even the shrimp … Read more

Naturally there was a fee for this friendly … Read more
