While it has always been my intention to write this story one day, recent events have given me cause to fast track it to the top of my "to write" list.

After an absence of 187 years, professional hockey finally “came home,” and played what could be described as the winter classic of the century.

I think it would be fair to say that when taking about the fishing on and around Great Bear Lake, the last thing likely to come up in the conversation are Walleye.

While at times it seems to fly by, a year is actually a very long time – particularly between our fishing trips to Great Bear Lake.

Anything can, and sometimes does happen that threatens to throw a wrench into our plans, but in 2012, not unlike the previous thirty plus years for many us, the fates were once again in our corner, we overcame the odds, and would soon be gathering in Edmonton on the first leg of our journey to the "Bear."
