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 on 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.
