Craig Salmonson

Your host, avid outdoorsman and tournament angler.

With over 45 years of guiding and a thriving tournament career in Canada’s and the United States’ highest-level, competition for both bass and walleye fishing. Born and raised a true northerner in Temiscaming, Quebec, Craig has spent most of his life in the great Canadian outdoors. Experienced in most outdoor sports, Craig spends most of his spare time on the water, where he enjoys challenging himself by learning new angling techniques.


“I’m a firm believer in practicing selective harvesting to ensure the sustainability of our fish population by promoting catch and release. There’s a right way to ensure the survival of this precious resource. I believe in passing on the techniques necessary to safely release the larger specimens, ensuring the health and prosperity of our lakes and rivers.“
