Kris Bain
Grew up in Hawk Junction, has twice won Angler of the Year on the Algoma & Northshore Bass Series, and owns Junction Tackle Company.
Raised on the water in Hawk Junction
Born and raised in Hawk Junction Ontario. With parents like Kathy & Kenny Bain obsessed with the outdoors, fishing wasn't just a hobby it was a lifestyle. Before I could even walk my parents would bring me along on all of their adventures. From this upbringing spawned a passionate multispecies angler, that has a soft spot for bass fishing. An active director for the Algoma & Northshore Bass Series (ANBS). Also a two time Angler of the Year winner on the ANBS, and Wawa Ice Fishing Derby top prize winner. I am also the proud owner/operator of Junction Tackle Company creating quality tackle right here in Algoma since 2017.
