While fishing up in Terrace, British Columbia, with good friend Malte Juergensen, Don had the opportunity to host an "On The Bench" with Malte's 10 year old daughter, Anika. She ties up a fly called "The Hoginator", a pattern that works great when fishing for Steelhead and Coho.

You'll be happy to know this season has some new locations. We did some filming up in Northern Quebec, for Arctic Char and Brook Trout. We also have a couple episodes on Summit Lake near Fernie, with Brian Chan (chironomid fishing). There's a couple episodes filmed in central BC as well, fishing for wild native Rainbow Trout - the scenery for those episodes is simply breathtaking. There are a few traditional locations as well, being the Columbia River, and Cuba. We have transitioned all our post productions back to the West Kootenays, which is why the new season was delayed, but everything is now moved over and set up, and Series 18 is fully edited and sent off - and I'm already starting Series 19. The show is broadcasting on CHEK on Saturdays at 2PM PST, and of course on the World Fishing Network several times a week. Hopefully everyone enjoys the new season, we appreciate any feedback.
