- Join us as we paddle into Algonquin Park's backcountry for a day of exploring and lake trout fishing. We stop for lunch at a beautiful camp site next to a waterfall on Head Lake before portaging into Kenneth Lake. The weather is great and we hook into some lake trout on both lakes. Time spent together in Algonquin is always fun and we enjoy every moment of it.

Nice haul guys! I agree with Paige, big pet peeve of mine with junk left in the firepit. Nice seeing Paige portage as well as anyone else. 💪 Looks like a great supper ahead!
It was a great supper. It seems like so many new people are getting into backcountry camping this summer which is great however many aren't respecting the rules and regulations. Leave no trace principles are definitely not being followed. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful relaxing video and beauty lake trout!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Another great job thanks guys.🇨🇦👍
Thanks Tom! Happy 😊 to share!
Beautifully filmed and such a beautiful part of Ontario. Nice job bringing some fish to the boat too.
The Algonquin dome is definitely a unique part of Ontario. Thanks for watching!
Nice Trout Alec and Paige. I just got home from a 4 day trip to Head and Kenneth and picked it from watching this video a few weeks back. The fire pit had a pair of socks, beer cans and foil when I arrived, all cleaned up now..That trickle you had was a full blown waterfall for us, it had rained 7 days prior and rained all 4 of ours with high winds. Must have spooked the Trout for me, only 1 from shore at camp and 2 Bass on Cashe. But my wife and I did find the lake and site to be as great as you guy said and I am going back for another 4 in two weeks..lol..This time with nicer weather I hope and more Trout. Going to go watch your 3 day solo now.. cheers! ~Andrew
Hey Andrew, I'm happy to hear you picked that area based on my video. That is a very popular site on Head Lake and I think I've found garbage on it everytime. It has rained alot the last 2 weeks so I would imagine that waterfall must have been raging. Fishing should be better on your next trip, the water will be cooler and the trout will be more active. Thanks for watching!
Another great video! I Have never explored the Southern end of the park. Might have to leave the North and have a gander!
There are some gems in the southern end just stay away during those weekends in July/Aug. It's way too busy then in my opinion. Thanks for checking out so many of my videos!
Fantastic video
It was a great day paddling. Thanks for stopping by!
Always enjoy the content. Great video Alec and Paige. They get better every time.
Thanks Jeremy, that's the goal.
Nice video guys, good to see you both getting out to enjoy the back country. We watched this over dinner....wish it was that Lake Trout! All the best from Ian and Lisa.
Thanks for the support! We had a wonderful filling dinner.
I now know what post malone would look like without tattoos. Gr8 video as well
😄 I haven't got that one before. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Perfect audio this time but some missing video. Paige made up for it in the fishing. Nice video again, I enjoy your fishing success .
It's a learning process recording your outdoor adventures but it's nice to share our experiences. Paige is an excellent fisherwoman, I've taught her everything I know. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Planning a trip here for spring trout. This is inspiring and getting me pumped for the soft water season. If you have any other tips you’re willing to share, I’d love to hear. Otherwise, thanks for sharing!
Good to hear, I'm looking forward to spring fishing too. They are nice lakes and you should be able to land a lake trout or two. Thanks for watching!
Hi Alec, thanks for sharing (again). I always enjoy your videos! Would you mind sharing the approximate dates when this was taken, I’m just curious. You have exceptional fishing success, thanks for sharing a picture and description of the lures you use, I’m certain every fisherman/woman is thankful too. Paige sure looks like a keeper to me, it’s not everyone that will take over the downwind stern seat and feed you bean salad!
This video was filmed the last week of July. It has been a good year for fishing so far. As the water warms the trout fishing does get tougher. I just got back recently from a solo trip where I caught lots of brook trout. I agree, Paige is an excellent paddler and canoe partner. Thanks for watching!
Awesome job. I also troll with leadcore. I like a penn 109 paired with 7 ft ugly stik. I get 6 colors and a bit of backing on it. More than enough for algonquin trout. Can you explain your set up along with which rod holder uou use?
I use a smaller trolling reel and short leadcore rod. The reel fits 5 colours nicely which as you said is more than enough for Algonquin and leaves half the spool for changing out later. The rod holder I use is a Scotty brand one and I use there coaming/gunwale clamp to secure it to the canoe. I haven't really brought it on multi-day trips, I normally just hold it between my legs. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love your videos Alec. Maybe sometime you could do a couple of videos showing what you pack for camping and how you rig a rod and reel for Lakers in August.
Hey Greg! Ya, I've been thinking of doing some different videos like that because I get a lot of questions about gear and fishing. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching 🙂
@@AleconAdventures can you elaborate a bit about your rod? What brand and line are you running? Thanks!
Hi Alec, loving the channel man! Thanks for sharing some of your fishing knowledge... you certainly have it dialled in. I'm looking forward to trying a lead core set up this summer, could be a game changer .. Just curious- what rod holder are you using?
I was using a Scotty rod holder and Scotty gunwale clamp. I've never brought it on a multi-day trip but I like using it on fishing day trips. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the channel. Thanks for watching!
Ridge back is killer..Weber grabbers are the best and live target dace 3 inch unreal try them
I used to have a live target dace pattern crankbait but I lost it, good lure. I've heard about Weber Grabbers too but have never seen them in a store maybe I should order some online. Thanks for the recommendation and for watching!
@@AleconAdventures u can get the from the usa or Quebec I get them from Quebec.. real good spoons
Great video. Keep your rod tip high to create an angle, you'll lose less fish.
Thanks for the tip
New subscriber, enjoying the content. Interested in your trolling setup from the canoe, Lakers have always been a winter and spring fish for me. What’s your rod/reel combo, how many colours of lead ore do you have on it? Any tips you’d be willing to share would be greatly appreciated
I have a small Okuma trolling reel and a Cabela's leadcore rod. I use half a spool of leadcore, 5 colours, to fill my reel full. I also like to use a very long leader. Thanks for subscribing and watching!
Hi Alec, great videos.! I’m headed into Algonquin this Friday and I’ll be staying on Ragged lake. I’ve been to Algonquin 7 years in a row with a lot of success catching bass but not trout. Is there any advice for catching lake trout or brook trout on Ragged? Bait, locations, etc. I would truly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
All the trout are very deep right now so you will need to troll or jig for them. I haven't fished for trout in that area, its loaded with bass. I have heard there's a deep channel on Ragged where you could troll for lakers. You could also loop back through Claude Lake which is stocked with Splake and try your luck there. Thanks for watching!
hike into rabbitale for rainbows
I've never caught rainbows in Ontario only in BC. Where's that lake?
algonquin
Looks like a great day on the water guys! We have plans to visit this area later this year, and now we are pumped!
It was a great day trip! This is a beautiful area that we go to fairly often, I hope you enjoy it too. Thanks for watching! 🙂
@@AleconAdventures of course, keep up the adventures
Great video! What time of year was this? Doing this route with my wife for her first backcountry experience!
Hey, thanks! I actually don't quite remember what time of year this was, sorry. Possibly late summer because I remember being a little cold in the evening. This area is beautiful, great spot for a trip anytime of year.
@@AleconAdventures Awesome, thanks for the reply!
Hi Alec, My wife and I watch all of your videos. We are going to start Algonquin trips as soon as we get our new Swift canoe. We are curious about the rod/reel combos you and Paige use. Any suggestions as to what we should be looking at would be appreciated.
Hey Greg, happy to hear you're watching all my videos. I'm sure you will enjoy your new canoe, that's awesome. I would recommend getting a spinning reel. I like Shimano but there are other good brands too. I use a medium weight Ugly Stick rod which I like because they're tough and can take some abuse which is common on a canoe trip. I had a more expensive Abu Garcia rod prior which snapped when it got caught on a bag portaging. You can always use rod cases to protect your rod but I like to keep them out for easy access. Paige uses a cheaper rod and reel combo which was less than 50 bucks. It doesn't have to be fancy, keeping the reel oiled especially if it takes a dump in the lake or gets drenched in a rain storm is a good idea. Hope this helps, enjoy this summer with your new canoe and thanks for following the channel!
@@AleconAdventures Thank you for your response Alec. I see in some of your videos that your using a reel with a line counter and lead core line. I was hoping that you might be a little more specific as to what make/model of reel you use and what brand of lead core line. I'm worried about buying reels too big and heavy- weight is everything on the Portage, as I'm being told. Thank you, Greg
My trolling rod is a Cabela's Depthmaster leadcore rod and my reel is a Okuma Magda Pro. If you're looking to save the most weight you can use a baitcaster reel because the depth counter is not really necessary with leadcore. I've used the more expensive leadcore with gore fibers 12lbs which is nice and lasts a little bit longer. Recently I have been using cheaper leadcore 15lbs which does the job. Once the the braid sheath loses it's colour its time to change it out.
@@AleconAdventures interesting, thank you very much
What weight is your reel and rod rated for? I'm hoping to catch some bigger trout this season. I have a 10lbs reel and rod.
I think it's rated up to 20lbs but I normally use 12 or 15lbs leadcore which is more than enough for Algonquin. Sry for taking so long to respond and thanks for watching!
What rod brand and weight were you using ?
Cabela's short 5ft lead core rod, 10-20lbs line weight. Thanks for watching!
I don’t know if you track your stats but, the sequential single 👍🏻’s you’ve been getting are me watching your videos from oldest to newest, trying to get caught up lol
I don't track my stats too much but I have been noticing all your comments! Thanks you! It's great that you're enjoying my older videos.
How deep do you think you are fishing with that much lead, leader, and spoons?
It varied throughout the day but 30-40ft is my guess. Thanks for watching!
@@AleconAdventures thanks Alec!
I have a cottage on cache
Lucky you! It's a beautiful lake with lots of history. It's also been stocked with more fish than any other lake in the park. Thanks for watching!
Wow, she is good with the canoe. The canoe must be around 50 Lbs, and she lifted it with a good technique. I never let my wife carry the canoe, maybe I am too possessive ( H2O Slingshot222 @ 18'6" and 42 Lbs)
Paige is an excellent canoeist and has guided many canoe trips. Her good technique comes from good instruction and lots of practice. If your wife is willing maybe you could give her some instruction and help her with the flip on and off by holding an end of the canoe for balance. Also make sure she does it in the water so that the canoe doesn't drop on the ground. It might be beneficial for her to have that skill in case you hurt yourself on trip and were unable to portage. That's a nice fast canoe I can see how you might be possessive over it. Thanks for watching!
to me it appeared as though the people before you built a small fire for you leaving a little crumpled paper in there as kindling so the next ungrateful person would have an almost instant fire, to start it was biodegradable paper not cans, used tampons or a diaper, it was burnable compost set up like a ready made fire, i wuld be more concerned bout the grate that was in there because that doesn't belong, but i bet you used it an i bet you weren't conscious enough to take it with you as a public service now did you? why do seemingly such nice people throw these nasty karen slogans in with their videos?
