Algonquin Park 5 Day Solo Canoe Camping | Part 1 | Catch & Cook Brook Trout
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- In mid June I set off for 5 days into Algonquin Park's backcountry on a solo canoe trip. During peak bug season I traveled many kilometres on this canoe trip in Algonquin Park. On my first day I came across a cow moose feeding in the water and on my second day I caught a brook trout which I cooked over a fire. This was an awesome trip with hot sunny weather.

Loving the channel, Alec. Heading over to Part 2..
Good to hear! Thanks for the support.
A good watch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks great job 🇨🇦👍
Thanks Tom!
Excellent Day. Cheers to that. Love the Video's
Thank you! Cheers!
I’m hungry now... fish looks good!
Cooking fresh fish on a fire is the tastiest!
Peaceful lake, a brookie and a nip of whiskey. What could be better?
Not much in my books. Thanks for watching!
Great video brother. Definitely enjoyed this. Cheers 🍻
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching!🍻
Nice trip!!! Thanks for sharing look forward to watching more!!!
Hey glad you enjoyed it! Got a good fishing video coming later today. Thanks for watching.
@@AleconAdventures I’ll check it out for sure. I just finished Temagami, and Mattawa river trips. Next month I’ll be doing smaller trips and few big ones for fall. Do you mostly trip in the park?
Temagami is great and I paddled the Mattawa when I was a teenager, lots of history on that river. I live close to Algonquin so it's convenient and a beautiful park with tons of route options. I paddled the lower Madawaska river a few weeks ago and I'm heading to the NWT for a big trip this summer. Lots of adventures to come!
@@AleconAdventures NWT ♥️. I worked in forestry all I ever northern BC , close to Yukon. Such Ana amazing area and so much wildlife!!! :)
Very very nice video.
I'm happy you liked it!
Loving your channel my friend! I am wondering what tent you have? I love that it has a ridge line and no poles. Just throw a tarp over if its rainy and you're golden. Thanks!
Hey bud, I was using a mesh tent from OneTigris. I'm not sure if they make it anymore. MSR makes a similar tent that's probably better quality but you'll pay more for it. It's an awesome tent design that's lightweight and offers a full view of the night sky with no tarp. Thanks for following the channel!
This is really my favourite Channel!
Thanks for your nice Videos,
it is very enlightening,
Waiting for your latest update.

Thank you so much 😀
Excellent stuff brother. 🇨🇦
Thank you kindly
Nice… 8km of portaging in prime bug season. Who wouldn’t want to do that right?
Ya not exactly everyone's type of fun! Bug jackets are necessary. Thanks for watching!
Great video. You did a great job filming and editing. What camera/lens were you using?
For this video I was using a Sony A6400 camera with Sigma lenses. Thanks for checking out another one of my videos!
@@AleconAdventures ohh nice. Ive been doing a deep dive into the 6400. It's still a great camera for the price.
It seemed like one of the best bang for buck cameras when I purchased it. I considered the A6600 but for the extra cost you only get added built-in stabilization which I heard wasn't too good. For less than the difference between the two cameras, I picked up a gimbal for stabilized handheld shots instead.
Beautiful fish! What lake did you catch it on
I love them all! I believe I caught it on Hogan. Thanks for watching!
Came across your channel looking for Algonquin fishing tips 🤙 glad I did. Been enjoying your content, gonna take some time to get caught up! Keep up the great videos, I really enjoy the simplicity in your edits. Subbed!
Awesome! Thank you for subscribing!
Nice video, You really put the km's in on the portage trails, I did that big crow route from the other side and it's not easy. Looking forward to the rest.
It's a nice route with big lakes and long portages. Thanks for watching!
What brand is the bug jacket. Netting zippered to hood?
The Original Bug Shirt Company, awesome bug jackets. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Felt like I was there for the trip👍🎣 🏕
Hey Camille, happy to take you along on the virtual adventure! Thanks for watching!
Found your channel just recently. Watched your last Algonquin Trip and loved it. Pulled out my Jeff's map to follow you on this one. Damn, you make some distance! I've been to Algonquin many times over the last 30 yrs. and never pushed that much in a single day. I encountered a moose close to where you did when I paddled between Proulx and Little Crow. And you ended on Shangra-La island if I'm not mistaken, one of my favorite campsites in the park. I pulled out my little flask like yours and had a swig of good bourbon with you. Looking forward to watching the rest. Thanks for the memories
Hey Paul, welcome to the channel. I do like to push myself on solo canoe trips in Algonquin. I like to cover the most distance possible and see new areas. It would be nice to take a long summer canoe trip but that's possible with my work schedule. The Crow River between Proulx and Little Crow is indeed a wildlife hotspot. I've come across a few moose and one bear along that stretch of the river. You are correct I did stay on that island and it's a lovely campsite. I'm happy to hear this video brought back some memories. Thanks for watching!
Everything you could want on a trip. Perhaps not enough whiskey considering all the bugs though. Lots of miles! You make it look easy!
Hey Doug, perhaps you are right! Thanks for watching!
Great trip! Awesome video!
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching
Nice video Alec, some really nice lakes. I could almost taste that brook trout, it looked delicious. The bug jacket was a life saver with all of those black flies. Keep paddling and filming! Ian.
Thanks Ian, I am still learning but I enjoy sharing my outdoor adventures
That’s a good trip even with those black fly’s and your music was perfect. Just rub a downy sheet on your hands and jacket area and the black fly’s won’t enter those spots. Thanks
I will definitely try that out next spring. Thanks for the tip and for watching!
Great vid thanks! Sub’d you looking forward to more content. 👍
More to come! Thanks for subscribing! 👍
haha what, never seen a squired in the water!
Haha I know it looks so strange! Thanks for watching :)
Very nice video! Always enjoy the fishing/camping combo. What brand of portage pack do you use and how do you like it?
I was using my Sealline Pro Pack on this trip. If you're looking for a waterproof canoe pack it's your best option in my opinion. There are cheaper options but the sealline will last longer.
Really enjoyed that Alec. Would love some more info on your trolling rod setup. Looking for a canoe packable combo and interested what brand you chose and your experience with it. Do you consistently target a depth with the line counter or does it vary? Thoughts on using lead core?
I use an Okuma Magda Pro reel, it was the cheapest trolling reel I could find at the time. It's nothing fancy but it gets the job done. The rod is a 5ft Cabelas leadcore rod and it works well. The time of year and species I'm fishing dictates the target depth. I never use the line counter because I use leadcore which changes colours every 10 yards. You can tell how deep you're trolling by how many colours are in the water, your speed and the type of lure you're using. I like leadcore because it follows the path of your boat. There are other options for trolling deep in a canoe, you can also use steel line or a dipsy diver.
@@AleconAdventures Really appreciate the detailed response!
How do you store / keep the trout during the day after cleaned to keep it fresh for dinner?!?
Try to insulate the fish if possible and keep it out of the direct sun. On this trip I just put it in a ziploc bag, inside a dry bag and buried in the middle of my pack.
Nice catch! How did you dispatch the fish?
Thanks, I normally use a rock and give the fish a good whack on the top of the head between the eyes. Thanks for watching!
Excellent Day , Cheers to that. Love the Video's
Glad you like them!
