Good day to everyone. I hope that your summer is going well.

We have had an incredible start to our 2010 season with our best start ever and it looks to continue through out our season. We have been on the lakes for the last month and have caught some incredible numbers and size of fish.

I got back on the river last Monday and it is so nice to be back on it. The water levels are good and the fishing has been right on for this time of year. We landed two real nice pike yesterday as well as goldeye and walleye.

For anyone interested I would please advise that you book early especially for the fall fishing season as we are starting to fill days now.

I was sent this e-newsletter on Friday and wanted to share it with all of you.

Well that is all for now, have a great rest of the summer and hope to see you on the water.

Have a great summer everyone.

We are pleased to announce that Get Hooked Fishing Adventures owner Keith Rae is now Alberta’s first and only Certified Freshwater Angling Guide.

Having completed all the required elements to meet the standards set out by the Canadian Tourism Human Resource  Council Keith now becomes Alberta’s first and only certified guide.

Having lobbied the Alberta Government for several years now to have a guide license put into place to give the guiding industry some form of credibility the government refused to adopt any such program. The Freshwater Angling Guide program is a nationally recognised program.

Keith wanted to insure his past as well as future clients had the peace of mind knowing that Get Hooked was a responsible and safe company to deal with. Get Hooked’s other guides will soon be taking the course to make sure they meet all the standards for their certification as well.

We only hope that other guiding operations within the province follow suit in the future.

Happy New Year to everyone.

Well 2010 is here and time to make your fishing plans for the up coming season.

We will be doing our spring trip out to the Fraser river in early May for Sturgeon so if you are interested please feel free to contact us to secure a spot. If you have never caught one of these incredible fish then make sure you give it a try. You will not forget the experience!!!!

Last season was one of our busiest and the way this season is shaping up that trend looks to continue for 2010. If you should have any dates in mind please feel free to contact us to book your trip.

Hope you all have a great 2010 and remember to keep your hooks in the water

All of us at Get Hooked Fishing Adventures would like to wish you all the best for this holiday season and take time to thank all of our past guests for making 2009 another great season.

Please take time to spend as much time as you can with family and friends.

We look forward to seeing you again in 2010.

Well this early shot of winter has put a hold on fishing till it warms up again so it gives me a chance to post this update.

We have been going hard on the water since the start of Sept. and the fishing has gone from slow to some great day’s of lots of walleye and some real nice pike. The walleye only keeps getting better and like this whole season late in starting but they are now moving into their winter holes and feeding heavy.

Several of our guests have had the thrill of hooking into big river pike this fall. Our group from Abalone Construction even landed not just one but 3 big pike in the same day. The largest being a 38 in and 17 in. around monster that we got to see take the hook in slow motion before it striped off line in rapid fashion.

Here are some other great fish from this fall so far.

Also we have posted portions of the Bob Izumi and Dave Mercer shows on YouTube so if you missed them you can go to the following links to veiw them.

Well that is all for now so lets all pray for some warmer weather.

After a very busy August I can finally update my blog, sorry for not doing it sooner.

We had a slower then usual number of fish caught in August but we still managed a few real nice fish. New fiserman Joe Watts caught a very nice sturgoen, what a way to start out as some people fish for years to catch one and he did it on his first time out. Mike Boutin finally hooked a large pike which have been a bit scarce this year, it sure made his day.

We continue to catch goldeye and walleye but look forward to it cooling down to get things back to normal. I have heard stories from folks I know all across Canada and the fishing season for all of them has been a bit difficult this year.

As we approach fall it is the busiest time of the year for us here at Get Hooked. We have many trips booked but would like to let everyone know what dates are still open.

They are- Sept. 4,5,6,8,10,11,17,18,21,22,24,25,28 and 29th. As for Oct. 1,2,5,13,14 and anything after the 16th. If you are interested please let us know soon as we sell out every fall.

Take care and keep your hook in the water!!!

Edmonton Oilers Zack Stortini and Kyle Brodziak  joined Get Hooked Fishing Adventures for a day of fishing fun. It was partially a part of a trip donated by Get Hooked to the Oilers gift basket program. It was the second highest fund raiser in the program.

Zack and Kyle were joined by Paul Onderwood and his family who bought the basket at an Oilers game for a day on the water with the hockey players.

The day was a bit cool out but heated up with the fishing action. Both Zack and Kyle were like little kids in a candy store when the fish started hitting. Zack was five walleye for five casts a few times and the smile on his face went from ear to ear. Kyle was at the head of his boat and consistently hitting fish.The Oilers even sent out a camera man to shoot some of the action and do a few interviews. Thanks to all the fish that cooperated while the filming was going on. 

In all the day went well and everyone had a full day of catching fish and enjoyed their gourmet lunch provided by Get Hooked.  I am sure that we will see more Oilers coming out to enjoy some great fishing action.

Keep on fishing.

Keith

The 2009 fishing season is here and we are doing real well on all of our trips.

It is rare but the river has not flooded this year so far and may not, cross my fingers. Fishing has been good on both the river with walleye, goldeye and pike action being good to great and some nice fish being caught. The lake was slow due to the late spring but the walleye action has really picked up with a good average size being caught.

We have doubled our usual June bookings this year and continue to be booking out front right into Oct. of 2009. I would recommend that if you have a date in mind that you contact us sooner then later.

Have a great summer everyone.

Keith
