Living in Hawaii for over 50 years now, I’m quite familiar with a variety of raw and nearly-raw preparations for fish.

When it comes sportfishing legends, particularly in Canada’s Arctic, you need look no further than Chummy Plummer, owner/operator of Plummer’s Arctic Lodges.

In keeping with the holiday spirt, I hope that the following will bring a smile to your face, although I suspect there will be more rolling of eyes than smiles.

Net Zero

In green speak, Net Zero is generally understood to mean:

While it probably comes as no surprise that Great Bear Lake’s legendary reputation is based primarily on the world class angling it offers but having said that the “Bear” and its environs also provides the visitor with many other unique opportunities to do something other than fish, which at first blush may not be readily apparent to those who have a singular focus.

Thanks to the Plummers family we dodged a bullet that for most of us was not even on our radar.

Just Once!

That’s right, just once I would like to check in at the airport without some sort hassle!

Having given Char fishing a miss last year, I decided that a return visit to the Tree River was in order, and together with GBL angling buddy Kenny Gold, we booked into the main lodge, with our sights set on being the first to fish the Tree since August of last year.
