ABOUT 50 MISSION CAST
Shayne was driving home with his son Cam, who is named after Cam Neely of the Boston Bruins and his daughter Taylor they were listening to the radio when the Tragically Hip song 50 Mission Cap came on. The song is basically about a Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Player named Bill Barilko. In1951, Bill scored in overtime and the Leafs won the Stanley Cup. That summer Bill went on a fishing trip and undoubtedly the worst happened, he never made it back. They found Bill’s body 11 years later when the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup in 1962. 50 Mission Cast Head Charter Shayne Stevenson is also a former NHL hockey player that played for Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins.

What kind of fishing license do I get?
French River is Zone 11.
There are 2 types of licenses, “Sport” and “Conservation”. To fish Musky, you must have a SPORT license. If you are fishing Walleye, a Sport license allows you to keep more fish, and Conservation license only allows half the limits. You need a fishing license between the ages of 18 to 64. You can purchase these at Canadian Tire or fishing stores like The Bass Pro shop etc.
What’s the proper name Walleye or Pickerel?
There are differences between Walleye and Pickerel. They are not the same fish at all. Walleye and Pickerel are actually two unrelated fish, they don’t even look similar and belong to two different species of fish. In Eastern Canada (especially Ontario), people often call Walleye “Pickerel”, even though that’s technically incorrect. Pickerel is from the Pike family. They are less prized than the Walleye.
Walleye is from the Perch family.
