Fishing the Wild West TV october 2020 Newsletter
Well, it’s already October and the leaves and landscape are changing to the beautiful colors of fall. Despite the crazy year, Fishing the Wild West TV (FtWWTV) completed shooting all of our episodes, commercials, social media clips, and a wide variety of other obligations were met despite the compressed and challenging year.
Due to the springs travel restrictions and poor weather conditions, we had a late start and we were behind the 8-ball right out of the gate. From May 29th to June 21st, we had three days at home. However, our most demanding schedule was from August 15 to September 19 when we only had five days to spend at home with family and friends. On this stretch, we also spent 21 days in the province of Saskatchewan, and 20 of them we had to wear our Cabela’s Guidewear Rain Suit. This much time in the rain was hard on camera equipment and our patients, but we managed to push through and shot three incredible fishing episodes.
With a couple of thousand kilometers put on the Cam Clark Ford F-150 and the Tracker Targa launched at six lakes and one river system during the final push to the finish line, we completed shooting episode #13 with Chillbilly Sportfishing Charters in beautiful Castlegar British Columbia on the Columbia River fishing for walleye and world-class rainbow trout. Chillbilly Sportfishing Charters and Destination Castlegar rolled out the red carpet for FtWWTV and we couldn’t have asked for a better community and location to complete our season. We would also like to give a special thank you to the Lions Head Pub, Tailout Brewing, Humble Bean, and the Sandman Inn. These were all incredible companies to work with surrounded by amazing community support! We will definitely be returning to Castlegar BC.
Season #6 of FtWWTV is already 60% full. We will be shooting 13 new and exciting episodes of FtWWTV and are excited to be returning to one of the best walleye and northern pike locations I have ever fished in my life. We will be returning for a self-guided Trip of a Lifetime to Bill’s Lake with Adventure Destination International (ADI) in northern Saskatchewan. Bill’s Lake is where I caught my largest northern pike 52-inches but while shooting the episode, we caught and released so many large northern pike we were culling 40-inch pike off the episode. Multiple 40 to 50-inch northern pike were caught and released in every bay of Bill’s Lake and I can’t wait to fish this untouched lake in 2021. Adventure Destination International is also hoasting two Fish with Wes David events July 01-04, and August 18-21, at their brand-new Twin Falls Lodge. Chuck and I will be at the beautiful new Twin Falls Lodge relaxing, telling fishing stories, eating like kings, and fishing with Twin Falls Lodge guests. We had a sneak-peak this year at the new Twin Falls Lodge and I’m truly looking forward to being pampered after a long day of fishing next summer.
We will also be taking part in some of the exciting winter adventurers Thompson’s Resort has to offer and now is the time to think about a winter family vacation. Remember, Thompson’s Resort offers one-stop year-round adventures.
