- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2018
- Alex and Matt head to Algonquin Park for some early season fishing. Launching from access point #17 in Algonquin Park, they camp on Farm Lake and do a day trip into Booth Lake for some fishing. Booth Lake also has some fun rapids in the outflow just beyond the dam that Alex was able to run in the canoe.

Ha ha, I was wearing ear phones while listening to this and it sounded like the mosquitos were right by my ears.
My very 1st "canoe trip" was to Booth Lake and Farm Lake....thanks for the flashbacks!
Skidders and snotrockets! Well done Alex!
Advice- It’s significantly easier to paddle solo when sitting in the bow seat facing the stern.
Nice Tamarack but not rare Tamarack grows in wet areas just like the swamp you guys were in when you saw it.... awesome Trip
Another great video, thanks guys!
Thanks for watching!
Biggest pike we caught on booth was 44 inches long and weighed 20 pounds on the far side near sandy area. Same weekend at least two hundred bass phenomenal fishing. Thanx for sharing
Wow that is amazing! We were either not throwing the right things or the weather changes might have spooked them because there was no lack of effort on our end haha
also, you guys should try some sun gloves - they ROCK against bugs too! just the tips of my fingers exposed...and they tuck up under my sleeves or my bug shirt (those are amazing, love mine!)
We used to go there every year in the 60's. We would catch huge pike, walleye and trout. It was an amazing place but only for the tough. Having to go up logging trails to get there with 4 wheel drives. The mosquitos were so thich we have to get tetnis shots when we got back to the states. I'd go back in a heart beat but I now live in Tx. We have a real mosquito problem here too but not as good of fishing. :(
Did a trip there with the family 5-6 years ago and caught several 30+ inch pike trolling from the canoes in 15-30 feet of water off the shoreline with crankbaits. Like them or not, the pike have been in Booth Lake for a long time and this wasn't our first trip there with our kids and my daughter was 11 at the time and I've caught them in there on trips before we had kids.
Just did the same route in October. There were no mosquitoes, and nice weather.
That sounds like a real treat! The bug shirts helped a lot and we had the entire area to ourselves which was a plus to going at this time of year. Sounds like you had a good trip!
Do you guy's like the Pike over Trout ?
They will destroy everything...The park will be troutless
I love that area of the park, I have a couple videos I've done of trips over there. I've had more success fishing on Shirley and Ryan Lakes, though I was targeting trout.
Pike and still good to eat. Do them up in a deer batter . Yummy!
Would never go in June or July while the bugs are like this holy hell
Booth and kitty lake are filled with aggressive pike. I’ve gone to the ranger cabin three time in 2016 and 2017 and caught tones of pike and the odd bass. I think the pike ate them all....
We have been hearing mixed stories of fishing successes but there have been a lot of positive experiences. Must have been the weather or we were just not throwing the right things
Northern Scavenger the fishing in that area is great... just not for trout. My son and his friend the last time we were out that way got into over 20 pike in a couple of days which is a lot considering that quite a few storms blew through the area so we weren't on the water as much as we wanted.
Yeah we will need to head back again to have round two against the pike and bass.
Great video! What brand bug jackets?
nice video... tamarack is quite common in the park.. I think the tree u id as "spruce" was actually a balsam fir... just sayin'
you drinking a Mad Tom?? I like the detour too for when i feel like having a few!!
It was actually the new Muskoka "Cool As A Cuke" beer that has a hint of cucumber in it. Very refreshing. I also love Detour though!
Looks like Uncle Kev's canoe is treating you well. I'm debating on buying a nova craft pal or prospector.
You will not be disappointed! It is a great canoe and it has been nice to have!
Why the can?
You Guys have always lots of mosquitoes in Nova Scotia?
Hi guys. We are planning a trip to booth lake next year and I could not find those jackets with integrated mosqito protection online. What brand or model is that? I obviously need one of those!
The is the original bug shirt company. If you Google that name you can order online! Great product
Canadian Tire has similar stuff. $40
if your not casting spinner baits into cover along the shore line with MH gear and braided line with a floro leader your not really set to catch pike on this lake
Where did you get those bug shirts and what brand are they?
Deane Richardson Alex is wearing The Original Bug Shirt from the Original Bug Shirt Company. You can pick them up from MEC or their website
Men the bugs really suck, how come you didn't eat the pike?
We had enough food on the trip already so we didn't feel the need to eat it. When we were on our Wabakimi trip last summer we packed a lot of carbs (sidekicks/rice cups) with the intention of catching fish to eat. In this case we figured we might as well let him go so he can grow.
Way to go. Brian 78
Thanks Brian
Alex looks kinda like ragnar from Vikings
Hmmm... what’s the fine again for taking cans into the park?
Yes this is something that we really struggle with. It bothers me that the park needs to put these rules into effect but we usually still take the chance because we always bring out more garbage then we take in. My hope is that explaining that to a ranger and showing them the extra garbage bag filled with stuff that is not ours, will make them give us a break. If not, it might be worth the fine for a beer lol. We never take glass in with us because if it were to break, there is no way to guarantee that you got all the glass. Always need to leave the sites better then you found them. Cheers
Unless your a logger then nothing applies to then 🙄
When did APP lift the ban on bottles & cans ???
No there is still a ban on bottles and cans. I understand the bottles part and we don't ever bring glass on a trip but cans I never understood. We always chance it and if a ranger were to stop we would just hope they would let us off when they see that we bring an extra garbage bag just to take other people's trash out. Still a risk for sure.
Exactly what I do.
how cool! I follow you on IG...just found the channel here - gotta sub, of course! :)
Thank you very much!
