72 years old fished these lakes all my life grew up at barryton. i think the fishing was better 60 years ago but is not that bad today for the fishing pressure it gets...

I should have fished during that first calm morning. Once the winds came in, fishing became difficult to manage. Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing. Our family camped at Tubbs Lake nearly every summer when I was growing up. We spent a lot of time fishing and exploring the lakes in Dad's little motor boat. I live in the U.P. now and am spoiled, but I may just have to come back some day for some canoeing and camping.

I really enjoy your canoeing and camping videos especially this one. I did a lot of whitewater when I was in my 20s through 40s. Sitting on my knees destroyed the meniscus. You are wise to sit instead of kneel in a canoe whenever you can.

Looks like your paddling has improved since the beginning of the trip. Nice job! Get that knee fixed so you can kneel and you'll be pro😉 From a fellow hammock camper.

@p3outdoors4 ай бұрын
@Bikerbobber Most the boats we took were RX Wildfires/Yellowstones. With the number of rocks I visited, I was glad I was in RX. Water levels were pretty decent for us. The cut of the wildfire is great for that trip. You might be skilled enough to avoid most those obstacles. Lighter would definitely be a plus on the portages.
@Bikerbobber4 ай бұрын
I'm sure you've been told this before but, you need to kneel when running White water. Not only does it lower your COG , it moves you a little further forward, it allows you to control the boat with your thighs and it gives more purchase for your paddle.
@p3outdoors4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the sound advice. Unfortunately, because of an old knee injury, my right knee doesn't bend more than 90°, but I hope to overcome that someday. All my kneeling friends do so much better than me.
