A trip that started ugly then got beautiful. Challenging travel up the West Aubinadong River past Megisan Lake. 10 nights, 38 portages (much to my surprise), and countless trout. One of the best trips of my life.
This route is typically known as the Ranger Lake loop and travels up into Algoma Headwaters Provincial Park.

I made a simple map for this trip. If you want to follow along or to consider paddling this route, the map is available here for free: www.dropbox.com/sh/ecs0amwrcmabtob/AAC7_xu0VCxdgb6Z18ztAVnEa?dl=0 It's geo-referenced and will show your position on the map in an app like Avenza Maps. This is a re-release of the 2018 Algoma Headwaters videos series. I wanted to re-release it for a few reasons: (1) looking back, I wasn't satisfied with the original edit and I liked the idea of making it a long format video, (2) this was one of the best trips of my life and I enjoy sharing it, and (3) because this is a great time to be thinking about ice-out trout trips :)

In case you didn’t understand what the fish was trying to tell you he said “A man in your line of work needs a 4x4 pickup with a lift kit and some nice off road tires.”

@peglegjim3124 4 года назад

Blue Barron When I heard “I’m stuck”, & saw the street tires on his rig, the exact same thought screamed thru my little toy brain!😂. Lifted rig, stock rig, they’re all only as good as their TIRES! Like his, my rig spends more time as a Grocery Getter than off reading these days, BUT, when we fish the Great North Woods in MAY, I worry less than most. The last 4 sets of tires I’ve put on my rigs are BF Goodrich KO2’s & I won’t run with less! When I get teased about “Geeze, Jim. Those tires aggressive enough for ya’?!?” I look ‘em in the eye & say “You know those days when you get 18” of snow, & you don’t want to take your truck out?” They always say “YEP.” I say “With those tires, I don’t have those days.” Mic drop.

Hahaha you guys are right for this kind of stuff. Shouldn't have been on that road, but wanderlust and hoping for a shortcut got the best of me. Just can't justify basing my car on the .01% of the year I actually need that clearance. And now I've got Erin's 4x4 Tacoma anyway 😝😝

@KY-ge7uy 3 месяца назад

We re-watched this video again tonight when there wasn't anything else of interest to watch. It turned into a beautiful trip, in spite of the wicked start with one problem after another. Thank you for pushing on. It was worth it. One thing that really stood out was the change in your methods between then and now. For instance, picking up a fish, you used dry hands. These days you make a point of wetting them. When holding the poor fish, your grip was so tight I could see your fingers sinking in and the poor fish was burping like crazy. Also, you left two to three hooks on your lures, but recently you taught Xander the benefit of removing all but one hook. Practice makes perfect. Way to go Jon. Keep it up

I can't believe how rarely you eat the fish! I would be mowin' down a fish per day if I were doing a trip like that. At least. You need to change your priorities my good man. Fish, then eat fish, then travel.

@LostLakes 4 года назад

Hahah usually every 3-4 days. Often I feel like I just don't have time, and also want to eat my packed food to lighten my food bag. You might say "just pack less food" but with wilderness tripping that's a very risky play. I'm a pretty confident angler, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. Would hate to cut a trip short because I'm running out of food :)

Excellent Trip and great fishing Jon. I use little cleos on Lake Superior and ive caught many salmon and trout on it. I wrap some red yarn around the trebble and it seems to trigger the bite.. I use half blue half silver one most of the time. The one Brookie you caught with the red belly was drop dead gorgeous !!

Another nice video production of some great looking back-country Jon! That run of waterfalls you found at the north end of Torrence (sp?) Lake was such a gem. I can't imagine coming upon that in real life, all alone to enjoy first hand. I am not a big angler but I really enjoyed seeing the Lake and Brook Trout you were catching, the varied colours and cool one- offs like that big dark trout. Anyway, thanks for making the effort to film this as I know it can't be easy. Keep adventuring!

My camping and hiking days are over. My cancer issues keep me in the bed these days. Those blue trout where amazingly blue. Let me vicariously explore with you. the bible say's young men see vision's, old men dream dreams. Let this old man dream about those blue trout.

I googled blue trout and it said they are called a Beardslee trout. They are so rare that they only occur in one lake in the whole world. They are only in Lake Crescent, Washington U. S. The locals call them Blue backs.

I really admire you keeping your cool at the beginning of the trip. I'd have been cussing up a storm if I lost my rain jacket and life jacket. 🤣👍👍Awesome video. Makes me want to camp this weekend.
