  • My girlfriend and I haul our canoe and gear into the woods to hit a lake known for big native Adirondack Brook Trout. We had to trek through the rain and endure some cold weather and biting insects, but it was well worth it. We found an awesome spot to set up our tent and spend 3 nights. By the time we went home we had probably caught 16 really nice sized Brookies and kept 3 to eat. If you want to see more videos like this make sure to like and subscribe to my channel!

    Oh! I know where you are! Just as soon as I saw that campsite. Took my son and nephew back there about 20 years ago, we pulled in a 17 foot Coleman canoe on portage wheels. Well, I pulled it in🤣🤣 That’s quite the walk in too!
    That’s also a great place for snowshoeing or cross country skiing.
    Looks like Stephanie was the Grand Champion Angler on this camping trip, WAY TO GO Steph!

      This place really is a bit of a hidden gem! So many hikers and not many other anglers made for some great fishing. The campsite here in the video is my favorite as well. There are a couple larger ones, but this one feels a bit off the path and secluded. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out our trips!

      We said the same thing! Out of about 16 fish we only caught 2 "normal" sized Brookies. I guess this place just had all the right conditions to let them grow.

      @@connorberry1432 I cannot give you the exact location, but I can give you some advice. The DEC has a tool called the Info Locator, using that and their Wilderness Area pages you can easily find some good lakes and ponds that will produce just like this one. They usually require a short hike, but are always worth it. If you need more help contact me directly on Instagram and I will try to point you in the right direction.

    I'd love to go camping at that spot. Looks great. You said old forge so I'm wondering if this is actually part of the moose river plains? Those brook trout are huge and should be protected so I respect not saying where this is but any hints would be great. Ever tried round pond off the moose river road?

    • @DaxWoodsWanderer
      @DaxWoodsWanderer  2 роки тому

      I have fished Round Pond before, but we did not have any luck. It was very early in the Spring through and I do not believe any stocking had been done yet. If you want to get out there together just get ahold of me on Instagram or FB and we can try to set up a trip! Thanks for checking out my video!

      @@DaxWoodsWanderer agreed it's a beautiful spot with a nice camping area but the last time I caught any fish there was 6 yrs agao. I think it was overfished and therefore since not being stocked it slowly was depleted. However it feels like Jurassic park back there. If you drop a kayak in and travel through that pond to the connecting pond I beleive called mud pond you may have better luck. I was able to get back there but unfortunately only brought top water gear. This pond from what I could see is very deep si I may have done better using a spinner or a slip bobber and worm.

      Well, like you name implies, it is actually top secret. This place has a lot of factors already working against it and I would just hate to put the name out there and put any more pressure on these already pressured Trout. I really appreciate you watching, and if you need any help finding a place like this of your own please reach out to me here or on Instagram or Facebook and I can talk you through how scout and plan out trips like this.

      Gut hooked doesn't mean snagged, only trout hammered bait so hard it swallowed it too deep to safely remove hook. Perfectly legal and delicious meal. Nicely done.
