Best one yet!!! My family has been fishing this way and breaking trails in northern Ontario for decades! Only time I ever see my grandpa, uncles, and dad run is when they're running after a stick that's halfway down the hole! Love it!
We used to carefully split a hole in the branch around a foot from the thick end, and push a short stick through the hole, perpendicular to the length. If a perch pulled your switch in, you'd probably catch at the hilt and be OK.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s I always fished at an outfitter in Quebec just over the Ontario border from Ralphton. The Quebec government didn't believe blue walleye existed and would pay for specimens if they were actually blue walleye. I sent in an 8lb walleye and they sent me a check for $5,000. Always loved fishing in Canada the best. The ones we caught were way more blue. Even the gold bellies were blue.
Many Years ago when I was just a lad (actually it was back in the 50's and 60's in lake Erie there were a strain of Walleye that were called Blue Pike that were fished out completely and none have been caught in Lake Erie in many years. I was just wondering if these are the same strain of fish? We sat along the shore with a light hanging over the water and a single hook with a minnow waiting for these to bite. As you looked down the shore line all you could were campfires with fisherman trying for '' Blue Pike''. Even if they weren't the same species it still brings back a lot of good memories,
Get your plastic wrap from Costco in the yellow and blue food service size package. I use it for catering, and at home, fish, and meat storage, and even in the garden. Bout thirty bucks but it will will last you a year or two, and it's much more durable and easy to work with.
The Pennsylvania fish and boat commission was offering a cash reward for DNA samples of blue colored walleye in hopes of reintroducing the Lake Erie blue pike. It had been fished heavily and with the drop of in mayfly due to pesticides it went extinct before I was born.
What is that blue from? In the boundary waters the last fall on the Canadian border my buddies and I all caught the classic dark gold walleye but the fins were a blue green and we’d never seen that before. Still haven’t seen it again
Not just the east coast. Same problem here in Colorado . I don't set up stands anymore. Have to hunt on foot. Although Elk and mule deer hunting usually requires to be on your feet.
People used to maintain trails and work to get their fish that was part of the adventure😊. Now society is all about instant gratification and let someone else do the work😐✌️
That’s Old school! going to try that when the ice finally hits in my area
Jay makes the best contribution to the Meateater crew! Always entertaining!
This reminds me of perch fishing with tip downs . When they're biting, you will be running. Its so much fun with kids.
Love the slow blues while willow picking on Hard to Get to!!!
Good friends, good fishing, and good food. Great video, mahalo for sharing.
The journey, the fellowship, and the deep fried goodness! Love it!
Boy, that looks like a vacation someone would pay for!
Great video!
Thanks for sharing!

Reminds me of my youth willow stick fishing. Really cool episode. Love the simplicity!!

Nothing beats Canadian walley and the fresh fish fry dinner
Living the good life guys !
We were in that area last September caught hundreds of blue walleye. What a great time and really neat to see how blue they were
Very cool old school way to catch some nice fish!
Reminds me of ice-fishing near Merritt, B.C. when I was a kid with my Grandpa. Love it guys, more of this please.
Fantastic videography. Troy the Giant always makes for great content. Your adventures are unreal Jay you have a very blessed life.

stick fishing looks so fun!
So jealous, we just lost our ice to a freak temperature swing and rain storm yesterday. Looks like open water until late January again.

after seeing this, I will definitely be willow stick fishing with my own kids one day
Take me willow stick fishing
Nice video. Brand new sled brand new electric chain saw brand new gps, fishing with a stick back to basics lol
Love it guys and gals
Good one, might not be as great as the first video of the season but it’s a good one 👍🏽
Nice !

I love how these guys call all snowmobiles "ski-doos". Like down south calling all pop "coke".
Always considered myself the Usain Bolt of ice fishing...
Man i was super into jays youtube channel and he kinda stopped posting. At least for quite awhile
Yuuuuuuuuup!
Ahw sweeeet we actually get to watch jay fish again instead of being a walking advertisement for frostbite and Eskimo
*birch stick walleyes*
what minnow bucket is that
East coast hunters fighting for two square feet of land putting stands up on the same tree and this guy has eight cabins XD
Not just the east coast. Same problem here in Colorado .
I don't set up stands anymore. Have to hunt on foot. Although Elk and mule deer hunting usually requires to be on your feet.
Well they run a guide service so not the same.....

Yeah!!! First
Tungsten is not more dense than lead. Tungsten is no.74 on the periodic table. Lead is no. 82.
Why is this video under a meat eater headline?
Really???
Jay hosts the show called Canadian Angle for Meateater. This is an episode for them.
Less facetime with your multiple channels and"persona" ...more fishing footage. Great video of fish..far too much of you. Is this your job??
