Today the Mercury Marine Destination takes us to Cree Lake in Northern Saskatchewan. Charlie joins up with friend and co-owner of Cree Lake Lodge Brandon Schreiber. You never know what the weather will hand out, calm and sunny one day, then wind and pouring rain the next. With Monster Pike the target today, be prepared to take advantage of all opportunities. High speed reels definitely can give you an advantage, so can features that increase your casting distance. Match it up with presentations that the fish simply can not resist, and the end results can be incredible.
