Ever wondered what it takes to film a fishing show in the wild, unpredictable outdoors of Northwestern Ontario? Join us as we kick off our on-the-road outdoor journal radio podcast series from the stunning Sturgeon Lake, staying at the beautiful Lumberjack Lodge.

We dive into the dual perspective view offered by our new live scope and blue water transducer setup, while also sharing our gritty reality of facing unpredictable weather and strong winds. Despite the rough conditions at Nordic Point, our determination to keep filming showcases the resilience required to tackle nature's elements head-on.
