Agreed! I’ve upgraded the rear suspension for more weight and better shocks for rougher roads. The front is coming in the near future. Thanks for watching Naomi!
You had us wondering until the giant rock on the road! Different perspective with your overhead drone footage. Well done! The wasps were TERRIBLE, but those fish were awesome! Haven’t caught one there yet, maybe next time! We love that lake, and glad you got to enjoy it too! Seeing an old friend in a remote place, priceless! Cheers! Erin and Greg
Man you full sent that trail! Another great video Harry. Beautiful spot and great fishing, Your dog is an amazing swimmer! Hopefully we’ll be joining you guys next month.
Thank you! I’ve already made some plans to revisit it, you don’t find much better than that. I hope you guys can make it next month too, the spot me and Holger have planned is pretty incredible!
I really enjoyed this video. I think Hunter 'stole the show'. Looks like a beautiful lake to swim and fish. I'm glad you caught some fish this time! The wasps are so brutal! Nice to catch up with an old friend. Thanks for sharing 😊
Awesome video Bro!! Nice job nailing the fish too!! That was epic!! That trout at the end was huge! Glad you had a good time and yes that lake is beautiful! Cheers Bro! 🤙🏼😎
Ok, you making it through the dips is wild 😂! Glad you made it out there and had a good time. Cannot believe the amount of wasps, though. Looking forward to the next one. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
haha I told you it was bold of me to try! I have to say the old girl made it look easy! The wasps were insanely bad camera made it look like there was hardly any! All in all I did love that spot so much! I cant wait to go back with you guys. Maybe in the next few weeks Walter & Joanne you guys and us should plan a trip out there.
That last fish was awesome!!! Great video as always Harry! Hunter is a kick ass swimmer lol glad to see your videos back on the tube, we've been missing good content. If you go there with Backroad let us know and maybe we will meet ya there! Take care! Walt & Joanne
Thanks Walt & Joanne! I was just commenting to the BRJ saying you guys should come over in the near future and we should all go up there! could be a great introduction to fall/winter video! Lets make it happen! And as always thanks for watching!!
Hello Harry, another great video, Hunter look trill to eat all your delicacy’s, what a good dad you are 😉. Very nice spot thanks for the drone views👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Take care my friend✌🫶👋
Thank you! Are you saying I'm brave because of he wasps? because Ive had that comment a few times already haha. The I can't recall the name of the rims they were on sale and I wanted to get rid of my steel rims and they fit. I'm still not sure if I am a fan of them but its good to know a viewer likes them. Thank you for watcing!
So happy to see you get on some fish! The chaos ensuing bringing your buddie’s fish in the boat is so relatable, lol, what a fish. Just as a point of interest, biologically steelhead are rainbow trout in rivers that go downstream and feed in the ocean and then return to the river to spawn. I think they are usually 4 years old when they return to spawn which means they’ve been feeding in the ocean that long which explains their size…same fish though.
I was told this from my friend and he used my van to visit that lake 2 weeks after and couldn't see how they would get back to the ocean from this lake. I was confused as well. Maybe I'm missing something. It was a beautiful fish though! when measured it was 21" camera does NOT portray its size well at all. But as always thanks for watching Halcyon Guitars!
@@outlandharry they probably can’t get to the ocean from there, making it a rainbow trout. In rivers, some stay in the river and remain trout, some go to the ocean and become steelhead. Not confusing at all, eh? But I think that’s why you can’t keep trout from streams in BC, because a trout might get the gumption one day to hit the ocean and become a steelhead…
They can not get to the ocean from that lake. As well Rainbows and Steelhead are geneticly different. Anadromous fish spawn in a river and run to the ocean. Fluvial migrate from a river to another river. Adfluvial migrate from a lake to a river.... all potentially "cross pollinate" at times of spawn. If you take a steelhead, a true steelhead and land lock it in a lake it will still be a steelhead but it wont spawn. Anyway.. the govt wont put steelhead in a lake. The will put Adfluvial fish like Pennask in there. Sorry im drinking coffee in the am lol
Harry, you are one brave person there is no way I would be camping out there with my dog and all of those wasps. I couldn’t do it man you were brave. I’ll give you kudos man. Kudos to you man you’re awesome. Keep posting amazing videos that you do.
Hey Kevin! yes the wasps were pretty bad and off camera it was worse. But sometimes you just got to make the best of it. Thanks for the nice comment and thanks for watching! Cheers!
@ as far as I know steelhead are sea running rainbow trout that return to the river of their birth to spawn and then return to the ocean. The only lakes that I know of that have steelhead are the Great Lakes. You can check with Fisheries B.C. to find out what lakes are stocked and with what type of fish. It’s a great resource for knowing where and when to fish. Cheers.

What a great time on that boat nothing like fresh fish 🐟 from the lake 👍😁🐟🫶
I am impressed that your van handled the rough road so well.

Great videos, I’m binging a bunch.
New sub sent here by Michelle & Holger - BackRoad Journals👍🏻
Thank you! And welcome! I’ll have to check out your videos as well.
@@outlandharry cheers! We both explore the Island. You by van and me by Dualsport motorcycle.
That’s awesome! I envy you for that. I’m to soft for that now a days lol. Spent my life camping in tents the van has been a nice changed
Yah I'm an Islander. What lake is this? Be nice to know. 😊
What is the name of the lake
Why so many wasps..location timing nest ?? Keep the vids up, cant wait to hit the island in a couple months...
Yes I think it was time of year. There’s lots to see when you visit! Thanks for watching!
So glad Hunter didn’t tip the boat
haha me and you both bro!
I’ve never heard of stalking a lake with steelhead. They are sea running and river returning.
I read that on an article on that specific lake, not my words.
