Catching that first fish is the initial giant step toward cracking the walleye code of any new water. Partner Lloyd Melbourne and I are trying to do just that on the murky and mysterious waters of the giant Kapuskasing River. While I pull a leech behind a bottom bouncer Lloyd pops a jig with a piece of worm. “Here’s something,” says Lloyd as he hoists a fat 15-inch pale yellow walleye out of 10 feet…

A Civil Servant Is Humbled With the Not-So-Traditional Bikers Event—New Liskeard's Bikers Reunion 2013
by Claude Aumont
It was early on in the planning stages of a trip up to the New Liskeard Bikers Reunion that my mind was already made. Sure I knew this would probably be a fine way to spend the weekend, checking out the motorcycling scene in this part of Ontario, but I didn't really expect much more than that. As a civil servant working in tourism for 20 years, I had been going to roughly 15-20 events…
The Heartbeat of the Land—Aboriginal Motorcycle Tourism on Manitoulin Island
by Steven Fox-Radulovich

The sun shines brightly through the remaining kaleidoscope foliage causing my eyes squint. There is movement in the long grass ahead! My senses tweak alert and as…
What is more beautiful on a chilly northern night, than to catch a glimpse of the magnificent northern lights? Once you catch sight, the vibrant hues are fleeting. Colours of green, red and purple quickly waltz across the sky, but it's one breathtaking moment you'll carry with you, and never forget. Paul Beduhn Let's Get Technical The northern lights (or aurora borealis) are the result of the suns charged particles interacting with the earth's…
