Hello to all my fishing friends around the world. My name is Michael and was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta. I have a deep passion for the sport of fishing and is what I live to do in my spare time. I have 20 years of fishing experience under my belt and started fishing when I was 10 years of age. I have recently opened my own guiding service here in Alberta and would love to pass on my knowledge and experience to my clients.
