The Gapen Company has provided fishing expertise to the angler going into the Canadian wilderness, since 1939.

Dan Gapen, Sr., was only 14 when he began guiding for fishing and hunting guests at his parents lodge on the famous Nipigon River. His family was the first to provide fly-in transportation to the virgin waters of northern Ontario.

Since that time, Dan has traveled extensively throughout the reaches of Canada, learning the waters, its fish species and what works best to catch each species in every area.

No one better than Dan Gapen, Sr., knows the Canadian waters, the fish they carry and what will work best for catching them.

Now, as you head north into Canada's vast wilderness to capture the dream trophy of a lifetime, you can take advantage of this expertise by using the "Far North" service provided within these pages.
