For many of us, the chaotic nature of life in the concrete jungle can eventually reach critical mass. Whether it’s a classic case of cubicle fever, or the persistent siege of car horns, emails and calendar updates - we all experience the inevitable need to break free of it - and escape.

It's finally here! Bass opener has arrived here in southeastern Ontario, and it is one of my most anticipated fishing seasons of the year.
