I grew up in Whitney, how lucky was i to be on the edge of the East gate of the Algonquin Park. My Father was a Ranger and Guide. The Beaver Plane would pick him up at our dock in town and fly him into Big Trout Lake. He caught a lake trout 37 pounds 48 "s long. Still a record since 1982. I remember the day he Brought it home, what a trophy fish. In 1985, He tragically died during a canoe ride down the Madawaska River. His name was George Parks. R.I.P. Thanks for the Great stories....
My favorite place to be ... been on every trail along Highway 60 Corridor ... Truly a Fishing Heaven ... Lake Trout, Brook trout and Smallmouth Bass ... although Smallmouth was not one of the original piscine inhabitants of Algonquin Park. They were introduced at the turn of the century, “smallies” are found in more easily accessible lakes than trout, often with road access. Bass season opens on the last Saturday in June and continues through November.
@@tspot816 I have caught Lake trout and found Smallmouth in their bellies ... I feel Rock Bass must go away and hopefully Northern Pike should somehow be stop as they are getting close to trout areas
@@agonquin My brother and I are very close. But we disagree greatly on fishing. He loves bass above all else. He makes fun of brookies, browns, cutts, etc.
I also resided in Whitney,Madawaska and barry's bay ontario which border algonquin parks boundries and very much enjoy fishing brooktrout,lake trout and many other species every year and hope my children and there children get to do the same!!! I've also worked for FOA ,its a very prestine fishery,so keep it clean and natural!!!
Lovely video. I grew up in Combermere, a small town close to the park, and it makes me sad to know that irresponsible anglers have been introducing other species to Algonquin's lakes. I've seen these problems out in BC too, as there are idiots out here who, because they like to fish for bass, think it's ok to introduce bass to rainbow trout lakes. Sad that a few selfish people can ruin a natural ecosystem like that.
Wow great documentation - so glad this is a protected area and takes some effort to get to these lakes, protecting this beautiful speckled spécimens ❤great job and thanks for sharing🪓🔥🛶
For Brook Trout, you'll want to use either flies, or small spinners and spoons. For flies, one of the most effective types are dry flies. They imitate bugs that have died, then dropped onto the water. Other flies you can use are streamers, which imitate small fish. For spinners, you want to use an inline spinner with a small treble hook, or small single hook to hurt the trout as little as possible. A spoon you might want to use is this one (goo . gl/3o30pO) which caught a record fish.
Check out the Algonquin Park fishing information at "algonquinpark.on.ca >Visit > Recreational Activities > Fishing" including Trout Fishing Survey Results. You'll then want to plan your trip using the Canoe Routes Map at "algonquinpark.on.ca > Virtual Algonquin > Canoe Routes Map Online" Good luck!
In Lamar Valley Wy (1 of the most wild places in the lower 48) there's a mandatory kill law for fishing to protect the native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout. Anything that's not a native cutthroat (Browns, Rainbows, Brookies ect) you must immediately kill. Even if you have no plans to eat or no more room in your cooler. A similar law needs to be adopted here, probably to liberal to go for that though. And penalties for using bait fish need to be stricter, with financial incentives to violators in.
But then they'd lose the wild fish that are left, so all the trout in the future will be broodstock brook trout instead of the unique sub species that were or still are in that lake. What would be more effective is to release a chemical or engineered pathogen (Yup, bio-weapons) that can render a single, selected species sterile, so they would live, but not reproduce, then die. This would control the bad species, while the native species flourish with lessened competition for food and oxygen.

every time i drive through the gates....i feel a tremendous sense of inner peace....
It's truly a beautiful park, and it is quite vast and an excellent place to explore!
awesome and very informative.

How gorgeous! 😍
Do waterfowl move fish from one watershed to another?
Now if only I could figure out how to catch them.....
Love that trail at Bat lake !
My German friends remind me how lucky we are to have pristine wilderness It's a national treasure.
Great video
Usually not, but occasionally sticky fish eggs can be transferred on the bird's body.
great video guys!!

love it there superb

There's ice fishing in the park......fish brought out by the cooler loads.

theres a special place in hell for people who introduce creek chubs to new waters
I hope so.
