Spring Fishing - Finally Got One On Camera!! 

Just fun to get out in the boat sometimes, isnt it? I expect you and your sister felt the same way I do. Especially on a lovely day

Exactly right!😊

that sounds much more comfortable than our little inflatable Karen- I too love listening to the birds, especially when all else is quiet. One of life's great joys.

You are right there for sure. Develops patience evidently! 😂🎣. thanks Beth

So far no punctures. The fabric is really quite tough. They are repairable. As for inflation, it isn't hard but takes some time. We take turns pumping it up. An electric pump would be better for sure. thanks for watching and your continued interest and support. much appreciated.

The fabric on ours is tough. I also am using quite small single hooks usually barbless. Reduces risk to the boat, me and the fish have a good chance of not getting hooked.

Awesome! Thank you!

thanks Janet. Bob did have a good time. He's not crazy about fishing but he is happy for me to go and get some for a meal. You're right about camping. I love it all.

Hi Cathy- no the bugs are not bad at all. They can be at times but not like what I have seen from folks in Ontario. I do think that the island here is generally pretty good . However, up in the mountains here in the summer they can be a real menace. Glad you enjoyed the video- thank you.

Seems like a common thought amongst those of us who fish. Forever optimistic. thanks Julia.

one is a Shimano Stimula and the other is a standard rod bought at Canadian Tire called Zebco Rhino Tough, neither were very expensive. The Shimano is likely more available in other places. It is a well know brand. thanks for watching.

I have van camped in Alberta only. I did some winter camping for the first time this last year . I bought a teepee style hot tent from LiteOutdoors out of Lethbridge . I purchased a FireHiking titanium stove on Amazon. they make a good combo. I did a few videos using this equipment . There are many different bags and sleeping mats and tents out there. I do quite a lot of research on line- I don't use recommendations from a paid for site.ie Amazon. After comparing reports and assessing costs I go with the best I can afford which will suit my needs. Always consider time of year and the environment you are most likely to go in. Many folks have a collection of various types of equipment for different situations.Over the years I have collected a fair amount of gear myself. If you buy quality gear and take good care of it it lasts a long time. Some items are really important to buy the best you reasonably afford and tents and sleeping gear are right up there. They are your "house" and shelter when out in the elements. I am considering doing some videos about gear in the future. Your questions are welcome.

@@wendyoutdoors2230 Thank you so much for your detailed reply! I look very much forward to your future videos! We are about 30 minutes outside of Lethbridge and my husband and I have never ever heard of that business so that is a super piece of info to have!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Thanks for watching Linda- I was lucky with the fish for sure. No guarantees for sure

that's him. the quiet one.

that's great- nothing like a fresh trout meal- thanks for watching

Ok😅

Thank you very much Julie- We had a wonderful time at this beautiful lake.

thanks Sandra- We have had ours about 6-7 years now and continue to be happy with it. yes, Sturdy and not tippy either.

You got that right!

that is a very lovely comment- many thanks

thank you Shannon. It is a provincial campsite in a wild place. Absolutely love it there. Morton Lake Provincial Park if you are looking. North of Campbell River.

thanks Kathy- the bonking part is sure not the fun part but needs to be done quickly for the sake of the fish. I deliberated whether to show that or not but it is a fishing reality. Really appreciate your comments and yes, I agree. I do feel very fortunate for the life I can presently lead. I will pass your compliment on to Bob. really enjoy hearing from you.

thanks so much Jim- I really enjoy hearing from you and appreciate your continued support of this channel. The fish were yummy!

It was!. I am very grateful to have such a great place 2 hours from home.

Hello Anne- thankfully we don't have a lot of black flies here. Other bugs but not too many of those guys. enjoy your area, I understand Algonquin is amazing

very tasty indeed.

Hi Charlene, so sorry you have lost your husband . Thankfully you have your family. Take care

Thank you, Wendy!

I think I would Janice- there is a club here and I might check out

Yes, not a pleasant job but... if you want to eat one, well it is a necessity. the one part of fishing I don't really enjoy for sure.

Understand. I just thought I was seeing things! I love learning! Keep up the wonderful videos!

Poor fellow for sure but my fishing helps make up for the strain!! 🤣🎣

thanks a lot🎣

I really don't like doing that but I try to be quick. I don't see another reasonable alternative. I like to eat fresh trout. so...

usually my Go Pro Black 10

@@wendyoutdoors2230 thanks for letting me know

Yes it was Brenda- a perfect little spot for sure. thanks for commenting

great way to spend some time together. thanks Wendy

thank you very much. I am sure we could trade "fish stories" . Our little boat works well for us. It packs up well so we can take it in the van.

Hi Janet- the loons calling--my absolute favourite sound. nothing matches it. thanks for coming along

@@wendyoutdoors2230 Yes, their calls are so beautiful...like listening to beautiful music...Blessings♥

I hope you too can get out there. I totally love camping! thanks for taking time to comment.

Yes, we did have a great time. thanks for watching Thomas.

absolutely- very much enjoyed the catching the eating and the filming! thanks for your comments

When you have a comfy one you are more inclined to wear it. It is a"life saver" for sure.

Yes Edna- give it a go- you can book campsites on the provincial website. They also have some non bookable sites. It is on Vancouver Island north of Campbell river.

Yes, I saw camping on the Campbell river & lake. I’m getting started late this year so I’ll look into possible camping next season. Love your videos looking forward to more adventures.

thank you so much for taking time to comment.Welcome San Diego. Always great to hear from a fellow outdoors person. There are many who subscribe to this channel, including some who can no longer get outdoors so they come along in heart. I love hearing from you all.

@@wendyoutdoors2230 my name is Anne. Pleased to “meet” you. 🙂

@@califwoods hi Anne. Pleased to meet you too

I too love those dusk and dawn time when camping. Somehow they aren't as noticeable when I am at home. thanks Diane

You got that right!

no problem- thanks Eric

It really is, I love it there, especially the loons.

Glad you liked it and thanks so much for watching.

thanks Amy- It is a lovely place to spend time and the fish on camera was a victory of sorts for sure.

Glad you enjoyed it Sandra, we really had a great time.

It really is Kendra. Thanks for watching and for sending in your comments.

Hello Ellen- thank you for sharing a piece of your life with me. It reminds me to be very thankful we are both well and able at this point. We can never take things for granted. I can forget that. I am honoured and pleased that you find some enjoyment in sharing these outdoor times with me- I wish you well. loved the "tug is the drug" had not heard that before. 👍

thanks Carolyn- just getting out on the water is a joy in itself.

thanks so much. Yes, one more cast is usually several more!! Just waiting for the big one!🤣 Happy to hear from another avid fisher person.

thanks- the lake is a personal favourite. Really happy you could join us.

give it a good try anyway😂🎣 thanks

Thanks Bonny. much appreciated

It really is. The fishing is great too. thanks Dana.

Thanks so much! 😊

thanks so much- A pessimist wouldn't enjoy fishing for sure. Helps if you have patience and just enjoy the art of waiting!! and waiting some more. 😴🥱🤣

It is wonderful that you have found something you can do that you thought you'd never do. It is such a victory and I know it will inspire you to consider opening other doors. Who knows what wonders are waiting for you. Thanks so much for letting me know about your new love for Kayaking. Enjoy

@@barbaraibiel WHERE did I say ANYTHING about murdering fish on my post? Troll somewhere else mate.
