I first met Colin several years ago when Lake Minnitaki was particularly dangerous due to the low water level. I have a cabin on the lake and had traveled 1200 miles to get to the cabin which I learned after arrival in Sioux Lookout was almost impossible. My caretakers had refused to navigate the lake. Colin was the man that was recommended to accomplish the task because of his knowledge of the lake and the hazards involved. I am very thankful to Colin for taking us safely to our destination and for checking on us during our stay.
Since that time I have used Colin many times to guide us on fishing expeditions. He is prompt, courteous, dedicated to his clients, and always leaves you with a pleasant experience and lots of fish.

My Name is Bill Booge. I have had the pleasure of fishing in NorthWest Ontario Canada for many years, 1st. time in 1972, and have never missed a year since. I have also had the pleasure of fishing with many fishing guides, some of them have passed on but their legends have not and will live for ever, such as Jack Botham.
As the times change so do our fishing methods, & for the past 10 years i have had the pleasure of having Colin Gosse, for a fishing Guide & better yet a friend. He makes me smile even when i think about him when i'm back at home in Iowa. Colin is a true legend in his profession, and when it comes to shore lunch, look out, it's 5 star *****.
Ever year while fishing with Colin, I have many Master Angler awards, for Walleye, Northern,Smallmouth Bass, and the Powerful Muskie, I,M still looking for the big Laker but knowing Colin it will happen. Thanks alot Colin for your many hours of pleasure, and may God watch over and bless you always, your good friend.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have been asked by Colin Gosse to write a letter of recommendation for him. I felt it an honor to have been asked by Colin and there was no hesitation in my accepting the challange.
I have been coming to MooseHorn Lodge every year since 1996 and have enjoyed the tremendous fishing in the lakes of Canada. For years our guide was John Carpenter, a Cree Indian, who had been guiding for 40 years and was considered one of the top guides in the waters of Lac Seul.
About four years ago we found out that our guide would be a Colin Gosse, a total stranger to all of us. Colin has been our guide for the past four years and we couldn't be more satisfied. He is in his 30s, but his knowledge of Lac Seul is amazing. We have never lacked for fish, Northern or Walleye. Last summer one of our party caught and landed a 50 inch Musky, a tribute to Colin's guiding. Not only is he an excellent guide, but his shore lunches are 'out of this world' !! When I talk to other people that are going to MooseHorn Lodge, they all say, "I sure hope I can get Colin Gosse for my guide !".
Colin has a sterling personality and his work ethic is second to none. Colin is willing to go 'the extra mile' for those he is guiding . One other plus that comes to mind, he is an excellent fisherman.
If you would like any further information, feel free to contact me at 1 - 507 - 833 - 4671. I hope this letter will help Colin in any endeavor that he is pursuing.

Colin,
I just wanted to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for all your hard work at Moosehorn Lodge as our guide for the past five years. Your enthusiasm, dedication and preparation make the days on the water very entertaining and productive. Not to mention your ability to will fish into the boat. Of course none of this would be possible if it wasn’t for your extensive knowledge of the fishing environment. Even when other guides can’t find fish, you have the 6th sense of where to find them and how to catch them. You never give up and the results speak for themselves.
Thanks again for making all our trips to Moosehorn the best ever. I look forward to fishing with you for years to come.

To whom it may concern:
Colin is by far the best guide I have ever used. In fact he is much better than I am. I run a charter service out of Lake Erie and I am continually surprised year after year at how hard this guy works. He not only knows the lake and where the fish are – but he has outstanding customer service. In fact I cant remember when I have had a fish on and a minnow was not back on my hook before I could even turn around. I bring a lot of “green” fisherman up to Moosehorn and he makes the trip very enjoyable for them and goes out of his way to make sure they catch fish and have a good time. This makes the trip for me and the guys that know fishing much more enjoyable because you don’t have to worry about the new guy – Colin takes care of it. He has an extraordinary knowledge of the lake system and is a joy to be around, he is entertaining, knowledgeable, and most importantly an excellent guide. He is also a great cook and makes a great shore lunch – try his Manitou sandwich and you will now what I mean. Colin significantly contributes to our decision to visit Moosehorn and we hope to have him as our guide for years to come.

“Colin, thanks for an outstanding guided trip this year. What a great experience to bring three generations of our family up to Moosehorn Lodge and watch everyone catch fish all day long. Grand parents, parents and kids all had a blast! You turned my kids Gordie (7) and Nicole (6) into lifelong fishing machines and really taught them how to fish so they can be successful anytime. They talk about it constantly! And what can I say about your shore lunch? Simply delicious! Once of the best trips we’ve ever had and already looking forward to doing it again soon – thanks again!”
