Thirty-one (31) time national award winning writer and multiple National Magazine Gold and Silver Medal Winner, Gord Pyzer, is known in fishing circles as “Doctor Pyzer”. Gord has a Master’s degree in Resource Management and worked for over thirty years as a senior manager with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, including Policy Advisor to the Assistant Deputy Minister for Northern Ontario.

While serving as the OMNR District Manager in Kenora, Ontario, Gord established the first conservation-oriented, modern muskie management regulations (for Lake of the Woods) in North America. Using sonic tracking devices and scuba gear, Gord and his team of biologists also initiated one of the most extensive long term (three year) tracking studies of smallmouth bass and largemouth bass ever undertaken.

An internationally sought out speaker and seminar presenter, Gord is the Fishing Editor of Outdoor Canada Magazine; Field Editor of In-Fisherman Magazine and Television and Co-Host of the In-Fisherman Ice Guide Television series.

Gord is also the Co-Host of the Real Fishing Radio Show currently in its 26th year of syndication across Canada and the host of Fish Talk With The Doc, on the Outdoor Journal Radio Show, heard live each Saturday morning on the FAN 590 All Sports Super Station in Toronto, and broadcast across the Bell ExpressVue satellite television system.

Gord blogs weekly for Outdoor Canada Magazine, the World Fishing Network (WFN) and Ontario Tourism.

A keen tournament angler, Gord has won numerous major events across Canada and the United States.

A two-time recipient of the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitter's (NOTO) President’s Cup and winner of the Northwestern Ontario Tourist Outfitter Association's (NWOTA) Conservation Award, Gord was named by The Fishing News as, “one of Canada’s most influential people.”

In 2003, Gord was recognized as one of 30 Canadians … “who have had the biggest impact on hunting, fishing and conservation in Canada since 1972.”

In 2009, Gord was inducted into the Canadian Angler Hall of Fame at a special ceremony held at the Spring Fishing and Boat Show at the International Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
