Sadly, I’ve only watched CBC’s ‘Wings Over Canada’ program once or twice myself, but I thoroughly enjoyed the episodes I watched (certainly didn’t hurt that one of the episodes involved fly-in fishing).

For those of you unfamiliar with the show, it follows the adventures of Canadian bush pilot, John Lovelace, as he travels to various interesting places in this beautiful country of ours.

When I first put together CFF I decided to check out the ‘Wings Over Canada’ website. It’s a cool site with some interesting goodies. One page that’s particularly interesting for us fisher folks is Johns Top 10 Places to Fish in Canada

Here is an exerpt from the page:

Exploring these waters is what I am all about. In the eighties, I flew 1,000 hours in the wilderness backwoods of Quebec and Ontario looking for those perfect out-of-the-way fishing holes. In the nineties, my attention turned to western Canada’s mountain alpine lakes and the coastal areas of BC. Now, with the Wings Over Canada TV series, this obsession has blossomed into a full-time job which has amounted to another fifty thousand air miles into even more fishing areas in Canada’s hinterlands.

For this column, I though it would be fun to highlight my ten personal best fly-in fishing locations in Canada. First of all, they all have one thing in common: they are hard to get to. You will either have to have access them in your own float plane or arrange a charter. Also, some are close to overnight accommodation and others are camping only.

Be sure to check out John’s top 10 when you get a chance, and have a look around the WOC site while you are there.
