Gord Pyzer & Liam Whetter

If we’re lucky we get the chance, once or twice in our life, to cross paths with someone who changes the course of history.  In Rob Swainson’s case, it is the celebrated brook trout fishery associated with Lake Nipigon, the Nipigon River and the north shore of Lake Superior.  Gord and Liam interview the man this week, who wouldn’t accept the fact that a world class fishery was doomed. Under Swainson’s leadership the brook trout fishing has sprung back to life. How did he do it and what has he learned that will help us manage and catch more and bigger trout wherever they swim? Hold onto your hats — all this and more with Rob Swainson, aka Dr. Trout.
