Fishermen And Crocodiles Dont Mix

I have seen plenty of crocodiles at the zoo, but never in the wild. If I ever come across one though, I’ll be keeping my distance. An Israeli fisherman learned the hard way to keep his distance from crocs when a massive 4 metre long crocodile took a lunge at him. He escaped with all his body parts intact, but promises he wont get so close during his next encounter with a croc. Sounds like a solid plan to me.

I was shocked – the animal clearly wanted to kill me…

Came across a mugger (magar) crocodile in the wild when I was in Sri Lanka. Luckily I was in a car; I spotted it just as I was musing how the river we were crossing looked like a nice place for a spot of fly-fishing!

I just did some reading on mugger crocodiles, and it looks like attacks on humans are pretty rare Adam. Most attacks occur on small children – so you probably would have been safe, although I wouldn’t take the chance!

Toronto Islands Pike, Opening Weekend

My good friend Martin Szomolanyi and I started our morning launching out of Humber Bay and taking a very cold but also very fast boat ride out to the islands. We started fishing from the East end to the West end covering the inner channels and the outer city facing shorelines. We spotted a ton [...]
