LISA ROPERLocation: Lac La Biche, Alberta
Favourite thing about fishing: Fishing to me will always be so much more than just catching a fish. It’s about traditions, relationships, the fishing trip adventures, and the enthusiasm of having a fish on your line. It’s about the determination to try again tomorrow when you came up short today. It’s all those fishing moments we remember forever. Favourite Len Thompson Lure: The Faithful - Five of Diamonds and the Dimpled Series Grey Ghost Best fishing tip for beginners: My best tip for beginners is have fun, enjoy the journey and really appreciate and respect the feeling of having a fish on your line.

Location: Edmonton, AB Favourite thing about fishing: Taking new people out in my boat that don’t normally get the chance to catch fish and let them experience a fun day Favourite Len Thompson: No. 16 SS (Sun Set) Best fishing tip for beginners: Always keep your rod perpendicular to your line on your retrieve, that way when you get a bite, the rod can do it’s job and flex and you can sweep the rod to the side to set the hook.

Favourite Len Thompson: No. 2 Lemon Flame Five of Diamonds Best fishing tip: Don't be afraid to change up sizes, or colour.

Name: Graham Cloutier
Location: Castlegar, BC Favourite thing about fishing: I love flyfishing and chucking lures, not sure which I like better though because I just love fishing. Also I just love the water, that is my main draw to fishing, I love being on it, swimming in it, just being around water makes me happy. Favourite Len Thompson: Five of Diamonds Best fishing tip for beginners: If you're not catching anything, try casting where you don’t think fish would be, they like to hide in places where you wouldn't think they are hiding.

Name: Al Benoit
Location: Garson, ON Favourite thing about fishing: Being a tournament angler I love the competitive nature of tournaments. Competing against other anglers and the Fish. Whether it be a Bass, Northern Pike or Salmon Tournament, nothing feels better then having success and seeing your name on that leaderboard at days end. Favourite Len Thompson/Northern King: Yellow/Red 5 of diamonds/ Northern King MAG Purple Thunder Best fishing tip for beginners: My best tip for beginners getting into the sport would be to look for and join a local fish and game club chapter. Fish and game clubs have a good mix of beginners to seasoned tournament anglers and are a great source of information for the new anglers coming in and networking with fellow anglers.

Sometimes the best and deepest conversations you will ever have will be on the water and in the truck on the ride. Favourite Len Thompson/Northern King: Cant beat the Len Thompson 5 of diamonds and for me the Watermelon Northern King is the bomb Best fishing tip for beginners: Watch "Fishing the Wild West" and "Fishful Thinking" for all around tips - research your lake of interest before you go out to have target areas to go to such as sunken shoals, points, breaks and underwater bowls...these structures hold fish --- keep your hooks sharp!!

I love being able to catch and bring fish home to share with friends and family. Favourite Len Thompson: Reverse Red Best fishing tip for beginners: Always respect every fish you bring in. Respect the waters and the land. Try to leave as little trail or footprint as possible. You don’t need to buy all the bells and whistles to start fishing. You just need a fishing rod, a positive attitude, and a Len Thompson Lure. Follow Jenn on Instagram @forfishsakes |
