Tales of Polar Bears and Brook Trout
Talking about brook trout and fishing with Mike Borger from Canada Fishing Guide.
Time Outdoors…and Trout
You probably never expected to hear about polar bears on The Food Garden Life Show.
Today’s show is a bit of a departure from our usual focus on plants. We continue with our focus on food, the outdoors, and the human story.
Time Outdoors…and Family
Mike Borger, lived some of his younger years as a self-described canoe bum, travelling northern waters in pursuit of brook trout. Today, he helps people plan trips to remote fishing destinations through his business Canada Fishing Guide.
We learned of Mike Borger when a friend sent us a link to a video of a great family trip: A Dad who takes his 10-year-old son on a spring brook-trout fishing trip into Algonquin Park – and they get the mother lode of fish.
In today’s show, my son Quinn, an avid angler, joins in our chat with his fishing questions.
We talk about:
Travelling northern canoe routes (and a polar bear encounter!)
Mike’s passion for brook trout
His epic brook trout fishing trips to Algonquin Park with his son, Brendan
