The annual Walleye Days fishing week in Nekoosa, Wisconsin ended a with snow storm and cold temperatures. Those that did brave the frigid temperatures faced long periods with little action except from tugs from their flask or swigs from their beer. We talked to the employee at Sunrise bait shop in Nekoosa, and he said [...]

Five Kingdom of Tonga marine adventures

on March 20, 2013 in fishing, Kayaking, Oceania

The Kingdom of Tonga is an archipelago consisting of over 176 islands in the Southern Pacific Ocean. The 176 islands span across over 700,000 square kilometers. Only 52 of the islands are inhabited by humans and the rest only by people named Wilson, so this gives an idea of how pristine and wild this area [...]

on January 13, 2013 in Adventure travel, fishing, North America

Quetico Provincial Park in Canada is a place I can find serendipity, or it finds me, at some point during a week fishing and canoeing. In fact, there is usually a moment every day where something happens like a double rainbow with a bald eagle flying through them, swimming in a pool in the middle [...]

Canoeing Lake Kawnipi in Quetico in search of the fresh fish

While having Thanksgiving dinner at my Dad’s, he shared with me some pictures he had of our trip to Quetico Provincial Park in Canada. Traveling solo most of the time, I don’t have a lot of in action photos of myself in the wilderness, so I was glad to get this picture from my the [...]

Four adventure travel activities I want to try

on September 19, 2012 in Adventure travel, fishing, Kayaking

A few short weeks ago, I shared five adventure travel activities that I am not really into. It is not that I hated those activities, and if I ever were forced to partake, I am sure I would enjoy and have a good time. Traveling Ted is no Debby Downer. I do prefer my core [...]

Five outdoor adventure travel debacles, disasters, and misadventures

on August 20, 2012 in Adventure travel, backpacking, camping, Canoeing, fishing, hiking

Last weekend I wrote about a little misadventure in Wisconsin when I could not find a campground with an open site. It got me to thinking about outdoor adventure travel debacles and the ones I have experienced over the years.  Not finding a camp spot two hours from home would probably not even make the [...]

Time to hit the fishing hole in Quetico Provincial Park

on July 8, 2012 in Adventure travel, Canoeing, Daily Travel Photo, fishing, North America

Is there anything more of an adventure than hitting the fishing hole. In this picture, we are canoeing to the narrows in Lake Kawnipi in Quetico Provincial Park in Canada for some walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth bass fishing. It is always exciting getting into the boat creeping along to soon be in a position [...]

Quetico Provincial Park summer 2011 trip photo essay

on August 17, 2011 in Adventure travel, camping, Canoeing, fishing

On Monday evening I emerged from the Canadian wilderness of Quetico Provincial Park with over 200 photos to upload. I read a photo blog today on another Canadian treasure, Banff by Ken Kaminesky. My photos are nowhere near as impressive as his, but I think they do an adequate job of representing the pristine beauty [...]

This Father’s Day let your Dad kick your butt fishing in Canada

on June 16, 2011 in Adventure travel, camping, Canoeing, fishing

While fishing with my dad last year in Quetico Provincial Park in Canada, I had one of my worst angling days ever.  The bites were few and far between.  When I did land one it somehow was able to wiggle off my barbless hook.  The story for my dad was a different matter. We were [...]
