Two Dads and adult sons want to get into some Walleye and Pike for a 4-5 day trip. Will need lodging and boats. Want to get in some fly action . Looking for the 2nd week in September. Will consider up to 8 hour drive. Were, and still are considering Lesser Slave Lake or Winefred (might be too far). Sure would appreciate any ideas from those of you who have enjoyed such a trip. Would love a fly-in but pretty sure it is out of our budget range. Thanks for all replies.

Please join the Fish Tales crew for two free upcoming events! SUNDAY APRIL 13, 1:00 PM: join Kurtis for a discussion on pike fishing that will help improve your odds when out stalking the waterwolf. He’ll discuss how to find pike; what flies work best, when and why; pike set ups; seasons for pike and more. He’ll also be tying a couple of his favorite pike patterns. This is part of our free Sunday seminar series that runs most Sundays from late October through December and mid-January through April. Seminars are open to anyone who wants to attend. Start time is 1 p.m. Sessions generally last one to two hours. First ones in get the chairs! WEDNESDAY APRIL 16, 7:00 PM: Join Fish Tales staff members as we turn off the open sign and break out the vises. Once a month through the winter we will gather together to share stories, re-stock the fly boxes and learn tips and tactics from one another. This event is free, open to the public and goes from about 7-9. This Wednesday marks the last installment for spring of 2014, so be sure to drop by for lots of laughs! NEW VIDEO: Since March 2012, Fish Tales has been posting "Fish Face Friday" as a way to celebrate the start of the weekend. The crew has put together a new video montage of the first year of photos that will be sure to get you excited for fishing as our weather improves!

Hey Guys, I'm going to be picking up a 9wt TFO Mangrove Rod coming up here. I want to use it for Pike as soon as the ice comes off, and because its a salt rod I can use it when I go down to mexico. So I'm looking for a salt 9wt reel to go with it. What Reel would you suggest and why? Thanks
