Atikokan, The Canoeing Capital of the World, is hosting their 26th "Funnest Bass Tournament," the Atikokan Bass Classic, on Friday August 16 and Saturday, August 17, 2013.
Total prize payouts for this year's "Classic" are over $37,000. First Prize is $10,000.
Atikokan, located in Northwest Ontario, is host to not only this Bass Classic, but is also the gateway to some of the most beautiful country in Ontario, Quetico Provincial Park.
I have fished the Atikokan area and paddled Quetico. Both are adventurous experiences you will never forget.
Just a few tips, ideas, thoughts, stories, resources and tidbits for fishing the lakes, rivers and streams of Northern Ontario. Enjoy!

July Ontario Fishing Magazine Is Out And Up On The Web
July is a great edition of the Ontario Fishing Network eMagazine. And it's free. Just scroll down and click on Get Started Today! to receive your free emagazine via email.
It is well worth reading for techniques, tips and information about:
- Rigging for Soft Swimbaits
- Fishing for Walleye in Shallow Waters. I found this article especially interesting as I often fish Walleye in shallow water.
- Releasing Muskie. This article is not just for Muskie. Pike and other fish are affected by the way in which you release them and the article addresses that. I learned the most from this article about release water temperatures. This will definitely change my release techniques.
- Summer Walleye Action.
- And More
