The Amateur Angler
Favourite Pics
Not a big one, but a great afternoon of Fathers Day Fishing with the family.A highlight for me, of any fishing trip is the shore lunch. Fresh walleye, open fire, beautiful scenery, can’t wait for my next one!The benefit of being bald is that I don’t get crazy hair after a gruelling portage!Hoping to get out on the water today, how about you?Sponsors
