Connie Inman is definitely a hero of fishing here at Fishing Fury. In true fury style, Connie has been traveling nearly 3,000 miles, 3 times a year, to the remote Canadian wilderness in search of nothing more than his greatest passion, trophy Pike fishing. When Clive and I first met Connie it was through the Ontario Fishing Network, where those who know him, consider him to be a king of Pike. Connie’s kingdom of Pike is the small 14 mile Little Vermilion Lake, just north of Red Lake, Ontario, and can only be reached by a small bush plane. It wasn’t long before the pictures of Connie’s monstrous Pike and his great personality led Clive and I to book our trip to Little Vermilion through Sportsman’s Lodge, the same service Connie uses.
The trip was a total success and it was all thanks to Connie, he bestowed a great deal of his knowledge on us in a crash course guide around the lake our first day.

Last year Jon and I were fortunate enough to fish side by side with Connie and learn from his tremendous knowledge of pike fishing. This year we couldn’t make the trip to Sportsman’s Lodge, but Connie did and he sent us a couple photos of some of the beautiful pike he caught this spring. Connie claims that the pike were not as heavy as they have been in previous years, (probably because of the unusual weather this year) but he managed to catch a pike over forty inches long almost everyday he fished.
