- Here is a video of Phoebe and I visiting Algonquin Park in hopes of catching my first brook trout. It is important to note this all took place on Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin) and Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ land. We are so grateful to have spent some time in the beautiful area and tried our best to respect the environment. This experience will be with me forever.
Couldn’t stop grinning watching you catch those fish. There’s nothing like it!
Hahaha thanks for watching Matt, hoping to get back again this year!
Congrats on the first brook trout!
I still remember catching my first brook trout, it was a small 4 inch fish, but boy was it a good looking fish!!
Great to see another fly fisher is out there at Algonquin, I thought I was the only one 😅
Great video, looking forward to watching more adventures!
Derek thank you so much for watching! Maybe we could link up for a fish or two some day
We should all get together and plan a 2023 April fly fishing trip!! Seriously🎣🛶
@@NotSoEpicAdventurer hey I like that idea let’s keep in touch!
Send me a dm on social and we can keep in touch for sure. We have kayaks and canoes and I have another pal that would join - slay some brookies! :)
@@NotSoEpicAdventurer love that idea, let's see what trip plans we can draft up!
Great vid. What other sorts of flies were you using the river?
Hey thank you so much for watching! I started using a copper prince nymph which was only catching fallfish. I moved onto a stone fly stimulator, then a brown wooly bugger and finally a muddler minnow with some orange! I hope that helps, I think I was using mostly size 8 to 10
I love this! You guys were already swimming mid may? Congrats on your first brookie. Algonquin is a beautiful place to catch your first one. When you hold them, put one hand under the belly by the pectoral fins and one around the tail. They calm down this way and the fanned out tail makes for some pretty photos.
Also, do you mind if I ask what river you were fishing and where you accessed from? I want to try there with my fly setup as well :) haven't got a brookie on the fly in Algonquin before
Thank you so much for watching!! We’ve been swimming since melt out, gotta love a cold dip! It really was such a memorable experience and thank you for the handling tip I really want to handle them the best I can. Shoot me a message on Instagram and I’ll give you the details! :D
@@Evan_Le5 what's your Instagram? And wow ice outs gotta be a cold one
EvanLe5. My dad and I have been experimenting with some Wim Hoff, though my dads always been able to handle cold temps
Awesome!! :)
Thanks for watching Jules! We gotta get out to catch a few together sometime
Amazing place and congrats on your first ever brookie! I am also a fly fishermen and good on you for releasing them so others can enjoy catching them aswell.
I have been to the park couple times now and have trouble finding good access points, do you mind sharing the river you fished and how to get there? I would really appreciate it, thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words!! I hope to learn how to handle them better, they really are gems. Reach out on my Instagram (evanLe5) and I’ll help you out!
Amazing footage! Some nice solid brook trout you caught there for sure! Just subscribed, looking forward to more more amazing footage! Which cameras were you running here? Feel free to also check out my fishing footage across Ontario as well. I'm editing a brook trout trip I did in Algonquin this year as well.
Thank you so much it was such a blast. I really appreciate your comment. I was just running a gopro 9 here, though it has become such a pain to use these days as it’s not very user friendly. I’ll keep an eye on your channel!
@@Evan_Le5 Which mounts were you running for the gopro 9?
@@reeloutdoorscanada so I usually just use the clip mount which I attach to my paddles or life jacket. I also have a head mount for my helmet and a tripod I use occasionally
