A Week In Trout Fishing Paradise | Surprise Bear Encounter In Camp | Adirondack Canoe Camping
ฝัง

- Settle in guys and girls, because this is a long one. In this video, I set out solo (with the exception of spending the first night with Stephanie) on some new waters to canoe, camping and fish for a week. I was not sure what to expect when I was planning this trip, but I was not disappointed in the slightest. You will see some of the best Trout fishing I have gotten to experience here in the Adirondack Mountains of New York while out a canoe trip. Besides the fishing, there was plenty of wildlife to see and hear, and even a bear that decided he wanted a closer look at my campsite.

I have a similar collection. One of my students purchased one of those for me and it’s hanging up on my wall. It’s kind of fun being the token Bigfoot guy.
Ever seen anything weird in the ADK?
Over the years of doing Cryptid field investigations I’ve seen a lot of weird things out there, but I don’t have a whole lot of experience in your area. I did do a little fieldwork in the LBL recently, but I didn’t see anything there.
When I’m paddling solo in a windy condition I normally add enough weight (rocks) in the bow of my canoe to reduce the “sail effect”.
Watching your video at 6:30am. Your breakfast 🍳 looked awesome!
Awesome
If you put a spacer between the bottom of the muffin tin and the Dutch oven, you shouldn’t get that burning on the bottom of the muffins. You need about an inch of air between the two surfaces. Small (1 inch diameter) stones or balls of aluminum foil work well.
“Shug” Emery has a (old)video on ‘dry baking’ which is what you’re doing there.
Have you ever watched the 3 Minutes with a Maine Guide channel?
Lol I actually watch both Shug and Lisa from 3 Minutes! I know the video does not show it super well, but the tin actually did not go all the way to the bottom of the dutch oven, it was so wide it kinda "balanced" in the middle. I do definitely still need the risers though for some future campfire cooking ideas.
Another great video. These are getting me super excited for the upcoming spring and summer. Hope the ice goes out soon!
Oh you have no idea how badly I need ice out to happen. I am dying to be back in my canoe.
Another great video .
Thank you David!
Great adventures, really enjoy watching! The reason you should never throw fish guts or clean fish in the water is due to the parasite that causes whirling disease. If you have never seen a trout that has been affected, it is a very sad sight for sure. The parasite is in Adirondack waters, unfortunately.
Interesting! I did not even consider that angle! I appreciate the insight John.
Awesome job on this video man. Another truly gorgeous Adirondack location. Great fishing 🎣
Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed it, was a ton of fun to film I know that! Cannot wait to be back.
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Absolutely one of the best videos my friend!! Those brookies were BEAUTIFUL!! I am so pumped to be getting out in the kayak ISO Trout!! I may need to get to this pond chain this year!
It is definitely a special little place, I am also dying to get back to it in the spring to see if I can get into more of this same action.
I’m going with my brother on are kayaks in 2 weeks can’t wait thanks for the videos
Great video as always! And we had a very similar bear encounter at Ross Pond. Something big came in and would not leave, probably at like 8pm. We yelled and banged stuff and it sat and watched us for almost 10 minutes. We saw eyeshine as well. Finally, it left on it's own, but slowly. Always unnerving when they don't get scared off!
Oh wow! Yea man I totally know what you mean after that little encounter!
Another great trip, I sure like the trout fishing in our ADKs. hope the ice leaves soon I have been getting gear ready.👍🧸
I hope so too! I have been away from that canoe for too long now.
Thank you for your wonderful videos, they inspired us. Just got back from here, beautiful place! We were completely skunked but enjoyed the seclusion - saw one other person in 4 days. Hope to come back in a better season.
I am shocked you got skunked! Were you trolling Wabblers, or using something else? Fall and Spring are definitely the best time to hit this place. Thanks for watching!
Always love your videos! Your presentation is down to earth and relatable. It's a great substitute for me not camping and fishing as much as I'd like to.
Awesome, thank you! I am glad you enjoy the videos!
Excellent video Jay your really inspiring me to give this a try. Thank you
Go for it Bob, if you ever need a guide you know who to ask!
@@DaxWoodsWanderer I sure do thank you
Good stuff Jay. Barb and I enjoyed the heck out if it. I love camping in lean tos as well... but having those fire pits that close to where you sleep is a double edged sword for sure. Especially when bacon and S'mores are involved. Lol. Have a good one.
I am glad you guys enjoyed it, always love seeing your videos pop up. Hopefully we can cross paths one of these days out there!
@@DaxWoodsWanderer That'd be great Jay. I'd love to pick up some fishing pointers from you too.
Another great trip!! Seems like I am following these in reverse to your visits there, LOL!! So far it only looks like you ran into a Bear once back in there and I'm glad he decided to leave you alone. I can't wait to get back in there, it also looks like I could Mt Bike to the leanto if I didn't want to paddle around but what fun is that!! LOL!! Stocking up on my Wabblers!!
I actually saw a guy with a bike drawn canoe cart. Best of both worlds lol.
Awesome videos!! Thank you!!! I live in Tupper Lake and love living in the adirondacks. I kayak fish and camp also!!
That is awesome! I am glad you like them. Stephanie and I just moved to North Creek this year, we love it here as well!
@DaxWoodsWanderer sweet!!! Maybe I'll see y'all on the water!.
Long lake is my favorite place in the ADK but this looks like a great trip
Oh man, I also have a special place in my heart for Long Lake. So sad to see all that flooding that just happened.
I’ve fished that water for over 50 years
That is so cool! Were you a member of the hunting and fishing club from before the state bought the land?
Yes. The whole deal was a sham. The club was an extraordinary steward and DEC is ruining the fishery. The beaver dam has backed up the entire chain and has caused eutrophication. The deal made hedge fund owners wealthier and caused a lot of problems for the local towns.
@@peterh4446 Do you happen to have a Facebook or Email I could privately message you at? I would love to ask you some questions about this history of this land, water, club and land acquisition by the state.
Hey Jay👋hi Stephanie👋
Dude, I saw those boots on another canoeing video and tried to look for em. I’m glad you did a little review on em, I just sent for a pair 🤣🤣
Awesome! You are definitely going to love them, was a total gamechanger for getting in and out in that cold water.
@@DaxWoodsWanderer I found out about the boots at Hornbeck last fall. They sell them, so when I got my Classic, my wife and I got a pair. Love them so far.
Another great video,Jay. Trout are one of my favorites to both catch & eat (most almost always go back) I did pick up a Coleman 1 burner butane hot plate (funny i collect old Coleman lanterns & restore them) can you tell me a little about your griddle...is it aluminum? Looks like the perfect size for the 1 burner and great for doing fish & breakfast. C'mon Spring...i so need to get out there and wet a line as well as a paddle. Thanks bub...keep em coming !
I am also dying to get back out there! I believe it is aluminum, I just picked it up in the camping section of Walmart one day when we day it on sale. It definitely is super handy to have though! Lightweight, and works great, as you saw.
First, to like it! 😅
Appreciate it!
Great video Jay. What approximate area are you in? I've seen some DEC helicopters stock fish and I think I may have been in the same place a few years back.
Great video bro! We can’t wait to get in there with ya soon. We’re you marking a good amount of fish on the Garmin?
When I was using it I definitely did, but I found I had better luck fishing with it off honestly.
Hi man. Just followed from a Reddit post. So cool. Do you have any vids on how you rig your lures and stuff? Really dig your vibe either way. Super cool.
I definitely do, but I cannot for the life of me remember which video I go over it in. This video here should be super helpful in getting you started though:
th-cam.com/video/SrmHntZLSXU/w-d-xo.html
In NY, you have to be 100 feet from the shores edge to dump fish entrails.
I thought so, do you happen to know why? I mean I would imagine plenty of fish die in the water and are consumed by other fish. I have always followed the rule but also always wondered why.
@DaxWoodsWanderer I'm sure it is for the " leave no trace theory," but don't hold me to that. If people just throw their entrails in the water close to shore, it'll look like a landfill before long..
Hey man, great video. What rods and mono/wire do you use?
Sorry for the late reply Scott, I have been super busy running around since ice-out. I use Sixgill Halfling rods with a Sixgill Reaver reel on one rod and a Banshee reel on the other. Both of them have braid loaded onto the reel with a mono/fluro leader about 6 feet long attached to the braid.
What do you use when you're throwing with your wobblers? Do you put a worm on or do you have a fly on it?
I don't recognize this area of the ADK. What general area is it in? I'm assuming your not gonna give us the lake name but I'm wondering what the area is.
It is in the more southern region, but there are a lot of places like this scattered all over the park, as I am sure you know already.
Caught 20 inch brook trout in Adirondacks 2 weeks ago
That rocks! Congrats!
Have you ever fished Horseshoe Lake?
Which one? There are a few out there, no?
Rte 421 over Bog River Falls. There are several free camp sits on the lake.
Why do you not say where you are if it's all public? I live in St Regis area and some of it looks familiar and some I can't exactly tell where you were.. nice trip though man.. I'll be out there soon
I'm not trying to be stingy or withholding, I just worry about putting the names of these places out online and them seeing a ton of use or possibly damaging the fishery. If you want to message me in private I will gladly help you out.
@@DaxWoodsWanderer I totally understand why you don't mention.. I wasn't thinking of the fishery elements just kayaking... I appreciate your time and response also for the respect of nature
Very nice, is the location a secret? For catch and release leave the net at the lean too., it can really cause abrasions on the eyes. I don't mean to tell you your business. Tight lines my friend
Good tip! I never thought of that. So what would you do instead to land them?
@@DaxWoodsWanderer You can shave down the barb, this is less traumatic, but you're going to have more fish flop off the hook. I use a seven-inch hemostat that is curved. grab the fish by the bottom jaw this is well tolerated and you can hoist them out of the water with little damage. If you are looking to get photo control the head with the clamp, with the other hand cradle the fish in your palm as close to the tail as you can maintain control. Not that it matters to me I have really had a hard time trout and landlocks. The water has been warm and the bottom vegetation has grown to the point its a challenge to get my fly to the fish. I've been told the booming population of Loons and Osprey could be the source.
As we saw none on the lake so why not tell us the name?????????? I do not understand that! I have had sucess on Bennet lake I tell all.
YOU ASKED YOUR FOLLOWERS: Why can't you throw "fish guts" in the water after you clean the fish - NONSENSE - Fish guts thrown into the water are cleaned up by crayfish - Fish guts buried 150 feet from shore attract bears - racoons and skunks - Who needs that around camp ? Whomever wrote up that law - if it is a law - doesn't know their anus from a hole in the ground - Your video's are super - Vinny
Thanks for watching Vinny! I actually asked a ranger once, and the plain and simple answer is because it would be human introduced. Even though it is a natural thing that happens, they don't want humans further contributing to it happening naturally.
I guess google won’t allow me to give my email address to you. I’ve posted it twice and it was deleted
Oh I never even thought of that! If this comment goes through, shoot me an email at daxwoodsguide@gmail.com
Dude you should not handle trout. Release them in the water with hemostats
I totally get your concern, but I make sure to wet my hands, hold them up REAL quick for the camera and then try to place them in the net to recover until they are ready to go. A lot of that gets cut out in the video and you just see it swim away, but I really do try to do everything I can to make sure the fish swim away safely. I really appreciate you watching the video!
