The Best of 2020

12/21/2020

6 Comments

 
As we look back at an incredibly unprecedented and challenging year for all, we feel incredibly grateful for your support and for the good things that happened in 2020. Here's a list of 10 cool things that happened in the Len Thompson/Northern King world in 2020.

1. A special Meet & Greet

In January (before you-know-what hit) we exhibited at a show in Niagara Falls and got to meet up with Beverly Cahill – daughter of Northern King founder Pat Distafen.  We’re so honoured to carry on the Northern King legacy.

2. Viral Video

Hunter Warford caught a beautiful Laker on a Len Thompson Five of Diamonds and the video went a little viral on Facebook. Seeing kids catch fish and make memories with our lures is one of the things we love most about what we do!

3. Getting our "Stock" on

 With the help of Blindman Brewing, we were able to support a couple of different stocking programs. Learn more.

4. Fishing for Food Banks 2020

We launched the Fishing for Food Banks 2020 campaign and made our first $1,100 donation in May to the Lacombe Food Bank. In the end, the campaign raised over $24,000 and supported 29 communities across Canada.

6. New Road Side Attraction

We got a call requesting use of the Five of Diamonds® in another Alberta based monument installed at the Summer Village of Rochon Sands. The 8 meter Northern Pike replica can be found at Buffalo Lake, Alberta. We were honoured to be included in the project. Learn more.

9. ROAD TRIP!!!!

We took a road trip delivering donations to 10 food banks in 9 communities over 8 days as part of the Fishing for Food Banks 2020 campaign. We recorded our adventure in a three part video series. 

10. Every DAY WE HUSTLIN'

We added five new staff members to our team and made a lot of fish hooks this year. We couldn't do what we do without our incredible group of 23 in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada. Thank you again for supporting Canadian made!

I have purchased Len Thompson lures for decades. Simply the best. Here is an idea the perch lure you have make it one size bigger. Also Make your lures weedless. They are great but would even be better. The firetiger from Silver minnow is a great one to use as a clone. I have nailed monsters in Northern Ontario with it

My dad and grandpa got me into fishing. All though I have hundreds of hooks I always end up with a spoon tied on and 95% of the time it’s Len Thompson.

Great work Len Thompson/Northern King. For as bad as 2020 was for most you guys certainly made the best out of it not only for yourselves but for many others as well. Keep up the great work.

I love using Len Thompson lures since childhood. They never let me down in catching good sized fish.
