@Shawn James of @My Self Reliance and I head out for some Backcountry Trout Fishing in Algonquin Park & Wild Catch and Cook. We had our work cut out for us when we decided to enter the Algonquin Park backcountry and then paddle and portage all the way back in one day. We were chasing after the elusive Brook Trout. We also had a surprise catch and both landed white fish. A bushcraft style catch and cook made for a delicious lunch and Shawn brought a wild turkey leg from a bird that he had harvested in the days prior. The food was delicious and the day was nearly perfect but we couldn't stay in the backcountry for long as we needed to paddle quite a distance back to the roads where we left our vehicles. All in, it was an amazing trip with 4 trout landed, 2 white fish, multiple smallmouth bass, which we quickly released because they were out of season, and several suckers as well, which we saw spawning in the shallows, a very interesting and welcome site. Additionally, we saw a great blue heron rookery on an island with many seagull nests in the area as well. It felt perfect and pristine in the Algonquin backcountry this day and this was likely because the travel restrictions into the park that had been put into place during the COVID-19 outbreak had reduced human activity and has made the animals less wary and the fish more plentiful. As bad as the COVID outbreak has been, I feel blessed to have witnessed the Algonquin Backcountry in such a state. Please check out Shawn James channel and watch his version of this adventure.

I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Graysen Casey Instablaster :)
Awesome video Jim, it's always interesting to see the same trip from the other person's perspective. As always, making the videos family-friendly cuts the video way back! 😂
It’s called Canadian pigeon !!🖖🏼😂 🍺r’s🎣 and cussing yessssss!!!!🦟💨
I would love to see a blooper video one day? I bet it would be very interesting behind the scenes and funny.
I would love to see the uncut version! Catch on gents.

Quite the day, nice bag of mixed fish and beauty specs, good weather, great meal, and few bugs which is rare for a Canadian spring…🇨🇦
Thanks, ya it was a lot of fun
sure did enjoy this video you should have more with Shawn James
I have a trip with Shawn coming up
Wow ce ciel bleu et l'eau du lac!! Très belle vidéo avec votre ami Shawn
how beautiful. so peaceful. thanks for sharing. be well and safe.
Thanks very much!!
Such Beautiful wilderness 👍Thank you again enjoyed it very much🎣
Thank you, it’s definitely a beautiful place.
Awesome trip with Shawn, this is the stuff that makes great memories. Waiting for your next adventure!! Stay safe!
Favorite peoples in wildlife county ⚒️😎🤘💪🤙👍🦾🤲
Lots of memorable canoe trips in Algonquin. With my wife and four kids in tow. They now have families of their own and are seasoned campers with their young ones in tow. I`m retired and looking forward to another trip. Been a while but i think i`m up for it.
Very nice, great that you’ve passed that love down through generations
Nothing is quite as beautiful as the landscapes of this beautiful province. Thanks Jim Baird - Adventurer & Sean James @My Self Reliance! ⛺🛶🌎🍁 ("...always a blackfly pickin my bones, in north Ontario")!🦟🦴😊
very nice touch end of the video..our side many areas still remain closed..many areas only a day hike..and some areas but not many open for hike and backpacking..and we backpackers do rules join as a small group..but hikers they go big sized group..hope everything gets better as in short time so we can do some trip together.
Great time guys and some awesome trout etc. beautiful country out there thank you guys for sharing love it keep on enjoying the great outdoors nothing better
Beautiful! My husband has a standing joke where he always says there’s trout in that their stream you just have to walk down the hill and catch it! He says that for every river, creek, or stream we pass! He fished in Silver Valley and on the Ausable River in Michigan.
Love you and Shawn’s adventure!
Thank you for filming these for our pleasure!
I think it's very considerate to peel the bark off the tree and being sure not to harm the tree...very responsible outdoorspeople to be sure!😊👍👍🌲🌳 AWESOME heron rookery! Beautiful birds!😊😊Great lunch! 🔥🐟🐠🥄
Shawn and Jim- nothing but good times!👍
Watched the video again and it was just as entertaining, “love the canoe on the water it never gets old”.The birdsongs are enveloping, a language only a seasoned woodsman could understand...truly a tribal call for the family circle 🏔🌲⭕️🌲🐺🌲🐺🌲🐺🌲🐺🌲🐺🌲🐺🌲🍺🍺🍺Cheers!!
It looks like a beautiful place. One day after the lockdown I will head north. Thanks for sharing this video it was excellent.
Canada has lots of wild country and water to explore. You won't be crowding anyone!
Well I hope you can get out there sooner than later. Thanks for watching!
All you guys lack is one of those little yellow squeeze bottles of lemon juice shaped like a lemon. I would definitely take one along.
Good idea
So jealous! Really hope they open the parks next week.
Great to see you guys team up. Two of my favourite you-tubers!
Thank you great trip and yuumy fish .
That whole area of Ontario and Quebec is so beautiful. One of my favourite landscapes. Thanks for the video!
Jim beard, I'm a new fan checking out your old videos and stumble across you fishing with another favorite TH-camr. Doesn't get any better than this 😁
Awesome, glad you liked that one and thanks for watching. Ya, Shawn is a great guy to go fishing etc. with.
Looks like a nice little trip with a good friend. Thanks for bringing us along :)
Great video! What a beauty day, thanks for sharing!
cool, two Canadian nature youtube heroes on a trip!
This is what the Canadian wilderness is all about great fishing guys.🙂🇨🇦👍🐟
Agreed, thanks a lot
Epic video. The scenery was amazing as was the fishing. Couldn’t of picked a greater guy to spend the day with than Shawn. Fun to watch both versions and yes Jim it’s about quality time outdoors not who catches the most fish. Lol. Really appreciate all the hard work and time that goes into making these. Probably cuts your day in half with all the filming but was spectacular to watch. Thanks🥰
Thanks a lot, ya the filming does take up time and I’ve learned to try to shoot in the fly as much as possible and it sort of becomes mechanical after a while. It’s the batteries and charging them out there that are the biggest pain on longer trips.
So... lol. Real men! "don't eat peanut butter & jam, cause it makes ya not be able to shoot straight"...lol . Awesome job brothers, it's great to watch this and every vid y'all post! THANKS for posting.
Thank you for your great video. I’ve already watched Mr. James’s and it’s really interesting to see your fishing trip together from two angles. I am now very relaxing and hungry too. Would be nice to see you together or with your brother Ted and Mr. James on tours through the wilderness. Looking forward to your next one. Please stay safe and healthy with your whole family😉☘️💫🤩
Thanks a lot and will do. I just came back from some adventures with Ted actually
Jim Baird - Adventurer @ Jim Baird - great, cant wait to see you next video with both Bairds on tour.
I had my 1st taste of whitefish at a restaurant last year & I have to say it's Very good ... what a difference between Highliner & fresh ... lol ... haven't been fishing for years so, enjoy guys - great fishing & have fun.
It’s delish! I brought a fillet home for my wife and we beer battered it.
Nice video,
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed a nice day in the park, great vid.
Thanks Derek!
Good for you guys. I did the same. One day in qe2w. Skunked. Had a laker come right up to shore to me while I was casting and no bites. What a tease! Ha. Oh well good to get out there. Nice whitie too btw
Thanks, I bet that follow was exciting! That’ll always get you back out
Deer meat for dinner....awesome channel!!
Agreed!
Hello Jim, Hello Shawn. Love to see you guys together.
i love this show im living in qc now but i used to go to algonquin with my older brother and man it was the best time of my life
Awesome man, I do love Quebec too
Nice stuff jim watched Shawn's video was just as good. Hope all is well buddy. Stay safe be well. From Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣%
Really enjoyed your footage of the trip.. Perfect conditions
Thanks very much
Perfect day Jim. Perfect day.. superbly peaceful, and breath taking scenery wonderfully shot.. As you so eloquently said in your closing words.. The natural world has time to replenish .. ATVB To you and yours... Scott Somerset England.... p.s and you got the trout
Thanks so much for watching Scott.
Nice day trip. Beautiful day. And good to see Old Jim eating trout cheeks again!
Hello again, nice to see yall hanging out together
Bonjour Jim...une très bonne journée passée avec votre ami... magnifique vidéo sur l'amitié, vos passions partagées.. l'île aux hérons, qu'elle belle surprise et contrée !..notre planète a respiré pendant notre confinement !🙂
Loved the chatter. Nice, relaxing canoe trip. Great fish. 💖👍
This video just brings me pure happiness. I did my first ever canoe trip, 2 years ago with my outdoor ed class on that route, heading to manitou and back. Worked out of kiosk last summer. Hoping I can head back into the park for the summer.
It's very cool how many lakes and water ways you have up there.
Thank goodness they soft opened Algonquin on the 15th. I thought they were still closed until may 31st. Lets get at it. whoot whoot
👍👍
Shawn is showing off again! Nice fishing boys.
Thanks!
What an awesome trip. You guys are awesome together
Thanks!!
damn! The lake and the weather are just perfect! This makes me want to go fishing!
It was a perfect day, I hope you can get out on the water soon.
Very fun and casual trip with Shawn on the back lakes.
I would certainly go out of my way and deal with black flies for Brookies as well!
They are the best eating trout for sure. Right up there with redsides and rainbows.
Awesome photography this trip Jim... you really getting the skills developed! Cheers Bro!
Awesome day trip ! Enjoyed the video !
Hi Jim. Love this video. Waited a long time for another Algonquin canoe trip. Love your comment about Shawn's early May swim. True, so true. We ladies do love watching Shawn strut his stuff. But you're no slouch you know. You're our superman out there who can do it all. Can't wait to see the finished long house and maybe a corn roast with all the families camping out there. That would be awesome--love it when the whole gang gets together.
Is this the normal time of the black fly season? Here in Finland my neighbour was visiting his cabin quite lately and he told me about the aggressive black flies. I think this is unusually early but the winter was quite unnormal in the southern part of Finland. Practically no snow and pretty warm.
You caught 3 beautiful whitefish! That fish is regarded the very best fish. It is a typical Christmas fish eaten salted. In the summertime it is also smoked and the sami people in Lapland makes the whitefish soup, which is excellent. Have you fished the whitefish using the fly fishing? I think the whitefish is a difficult fish to catch because it's jars may break so easily.
You have a very beautiful and rich nature in Canada! I enjoy seeing your videos!
Yeah, this time of year the black flies are particularly bad. They’re not as bad as last year though, thankfully. And yes, the fish was delicious, we were surprised to have caught the white fish. I haven’t caught flyfished for whitefish unfortunately. Maybe one day. Thanks a lot for watching!
Another awesome video! There are 6 of us who use our account to watch videos! We watch, My Self Reliance, Doug Linker, Joe Robinette, Dave Whipple, Brooke Whipple and now you Jim Baird! All great videographers and true Outdoorsmen! Thank you!
Leshgooo
What a sweet day trip there u both had. So peaceful and calm waters too.
Nice
Great to see you and Shawn enjoying the lakes again! Looking forward to more summer adventures. Thank You for showing that life goes on!!
Thank God the first portage had a cool trail! Some that you have been on has been brutal! Excellent video Jim. Fun to see you and Shawn together. Too bad you couldn't bring some trout home for the wives.....I know that would have been a real treat for them :)
Good Friday Jim & Shawn! It looks gorious and beautiful day to be out in the wilderness!
👍🌅🚣🎣
I like Sean's vlogs but he never answers my questions... and you and your brother are new to me even though I've watched you guys within Sean's vlogs.
I'm liking you guys more cos your reply at least. Also your spouses are often with you... and i just watched you and your wife with Wesley camping in the snow!! Loved that so much. Your wife is amazing... power to the woman..lol
(More of the 3 of you vlogs please).
I'm so envious of your adventures.
I think Seans wife is a bit more of a delicate lady. However his vlogs are really just about him and his dreams. You guys have a different approach to adventures. Dont ever stop. 👍
Big thanks, ya we try to answer questions and I hope to be able to continue doing it. Of course, we don’t get the views and amount of comments Sean does but I know he reads as many comments as he possibly can even if he doesn’t reply. Ya, my wife Tori is awarding and string and tough and a really hard worker. We just did a video yesterday on our property where we had to take off high branches from surrounding trees in order to get more light on our vegetable garden. We’re going to do a family canoe trip next week too.
@@JimBairdAdventurer ooh havent seen that???? I best go and look. Cheers dears... My hubby and I cant do adventures ... old age arthritis etc... so keep them coming. We love it X
Thanks a lot and will do! We will put that video up Friday so it’s not up just yet. Glad you can live vicariously. Sorry about the typos in my last reply 😬 (auto correct)
Looked like a great fishing excursion with Shawn , nice catches as well the water looked clear as glass real nice video
Thanks a lot, ya it was a near perfect day
I am an avid follower of shawn james my self reliance.. he is a nice guy nice to see you spending quality with each other..i will be your subscriber now too.have fun guys.
watching from philippines😍
Thanks a lot, yes, Shawn is a very impressive guy. Great to have you as a subscriber. I hope you enjoy my videos!
Really enjoyed the video! Especially since I did a trip there with some friends back in May 2018. I think you and Shawn had lunch on our campsite! (Don't worry, I won't divulge the location). Too bad you didn't get further in; if you were going to the lake I think you were, you're right about it holding trout. We did a day trip there from our camp and my friend caught two beauties there 18" and 19". We had them for dinner back at the camp that night.
Beaver dam much easier than Whitewater Canyon. Thank goodness.
This is true, though I do enjoy a good whitewater canyon!
I used to use small gold or silver spinners with a worm, depending if it was sunny or overcast. If it was a rocky bottom and I got hung up, I put the splitshot at the very end of the line to sacrifice. If on a lake I could troll, a lake clear spinner and muddler minnow fly or worm worked well. If crawfish got your line hung up and you could get them out, the white meat part of the tail was good bait for brook trout. I left a bit of exoskeleton to keep it on the hook. I have a small collapsible handle foldable net for trout that would fit in a pocket, plastic frame. Not sure if they are still available.
🤩ohh Man ... super parceria do Jim Baird e My Self Reliance nessa pescaria 🎣🐟 ficou muito bem valeu nota 💯 👏👏👏 não conheço rio River mas está aqui❤️🙌☕🌎🌏🌍
Heck of day out on the lake! The fish lunch looked really good! Excellent vid!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Jim Great spot, first time I ever had white fish was from that lake. Pretty darn tasty fish. I have plans for a backcountry trip next week but if it gets cancelled I'm doing the exact trip you and Shawn did. Either way I'm good! Its good to be outside...lol
Best of luck with your backcountry trip, I hope it’s not canceled. Thanks for watching!
Ya,real outdoors adventures without the hype! Thanks Jim!
thanks for the video Jim! cheers
You’re welcome
When you went slow mo I thought for sure you were going in the water, lol. Great video!!
What a good time. Thanks for taking me along!
What did you bring for lunch?
Skill 😄👍
Anxious to see Shawn's version of this and editing out the F-bombs 😊
Awesome video
Amazing!...Going up there July 9th.I know a little warm but going to try for those deep water brookies.This got me so primed.Thanks for the great vids looking forward to more!👍
Sweet, good luck! Bring a dipsy-diver.
Really neat butterfly setup on the trout over the fire. Love how you share your tips on fishing/cleaning from last year's trip and this year looked awesome as well.
Love this ! Especially your humility! PB always a hit ! Looks like a great day !
Great way to spend the day. Water looked like glass. Great fishing and interesting how you cooked it up over the fire. Looked delicious. Nothing wrong with a good ole PB an jam sandwich. Beautiful area and good the black flys were not to bad. Never had fish brains to eat. You guys are fun to watch.
This combination is amazing. I liked the video immediately.
Great piece, thanks.
Shawn's got all the brookie spots :o
Thats the best thumbnail I have seen. Great artwork and video mate 👍🏽
Much appreciated! And full disclosure...my wife Tori actually did this thumbnail
@@JimBairdAdventurer Can Tori do one for me? 😊
She probably could
what a great day trip. you guys eat well again
Hey Jim I love the spot you visited on this trip it’s one of my favorites and we have caught up to 4lb brookies on that lake where you caught the whitefish!! Great video again.
Awesome, that a lot! Ya, it’s a great Lake. I haven’t been there for years but it’s only a hit 45 mins from my place so I think I’m going to go back more often
Oh my, perfect conditions. Jealousy is a sin, right? 😉🙂👍🛶
It was great to see both of you in a same video. (In two videos actually) You two are my favourite youtubers! Thanks and greetings from Finland. Keep this thing going!
Thanks for watching!
Def worth watching a second time//
Thanks!
Great channel and video. I saw Shawn's video of it and now I have seen yours! Looks like great fun!
It was a great day for sure. Thanks a lot for watching.
“Am I good enough? Am I a worthwhile person. Only time will tell.” 😂
🤣
lol, 14:58 though.... hmmm... lol JK
great vid ...my favorite catch and cook
Another great video thanks Jim.
Another great video Jim. You and Shawn make a good team.... looking forward to your next adventure.
BRING A BUTTERFLY /BUG NET TO CATCH FLIES ,,PUT ON TROUT HOOK FISH LOVE THEM !!!!
It looked a bit snaggy with those logs in the stream bed. Bring out the big guns, worms. Joe Robinet would have just reached down and grabbed those fish with his teeth. no need to land on the shore. beauty of a day to paddle, so calm.
I love your videos and as always can’t wait to watch the next one. Time to invest in a landing net!!
Thanks a lot and yes, I have one but didn’t bring however I also have got a new one that’s perfect for trips like this
I dream to have either one of those canoes before I retire. I'm not a monster like Jim, so I'd probably go for the lighter Swift model. Another great video!
Hey Jim, a couple of questions and a suggestion:
1. What size kayak paddle you running in the canoe?
2. Have you thought about running an anchor system at all for these fishing-specific trips?
3. You should fabricate a removable rod holder deck, would mitigate having to hold your rod in your teeth, and help with trolling. It would be a good video. Google "bwca forums rod holder clamps" and you'll see some good examples.
Man I want a Werner Paddle!
Where do I get my hands on one?
Ya they are beauties, I think I have an amazon link under gear list in my description. You may be able to order off Werner’s site too. MEC carries them in Canada too.
