10-Day Solo Wilderness Fishing Trip on the World's Biggest Lake

[@LostLakes]

IS SUPERIOR THE WORLD'S BIGGEST LAKE? 1:28:11 Superior is the world's biggest freshwater lake by surface area. Caspian Sea is bigger but it's just a part of the ocean that got disconnected and now has 1/3 of the salinity so I feel iffy about its classification as a lake. Some would argue that it's Lake Baikal which is much deeper and with more volume (though way less surface area) but that's not much good unless you own a submarine. "World's largest freshwater lake on earth by surface area" doesn't work in a title.

Superior wins

im heading out to North Frontenac common camping spots. Lemme know if u wanna join :)Good times fishing and chilling in local ontario.

“I suffered another injury however. I sacked myself swatting a mosquito”. Best line of the video Jon. That beaver dam was a good size. Neat trip. Like another world out there on those islands it seems.

[@MissionaryInMexico]

You just reminded me of something: When I hiked the Appalachian Trail almost 30 years ago, I got to a shelter in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Biting gnats had been bothering all of us since we left Georgia. I went down to the stream pool water source, from the shelter to purify my night's supply of water for drinking and cooking. As I reached the pond, the gnats covered me from head to toe. It was miserable. Soon after, as my food was cooking, I wrote a limerick in the trail shelter logbook. It went, "The gnats are a problem, don't scoff. You need Deet, or some kind of Off. One little pesticle Bit my left testicle And now I am REALLY PISSED OFF!" A few monster hikers caught up to me and said they died laughing at my log post, and looked forward to catching up to meet me. They suffered the same thing as me. And appreciated my humor. I replied, "It's all what we make it. Gotta keep the goal in mind and laugh about the irritating stuff." Those guys finished. I didn't, because of a family event I stopped and got off the trail for. One day before I crap out, maybe, I'll hike the trail again. And finish.

Some people go to Disneyland and talk about the “magic” but these views and experiences on Superior were what I consider “magical”. Very well done, professional grade vid. I loved this!

[@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve]

I dread the suggestion of Disneyland! Give me an alpine lake and colorful sunset, that is truly the adventure.

[@fredcox961]

Your videography and storytelling are wonderful! I especially enjoy the closeups of flowers and critters. You carried me back nearly a half century to my younger days exploring the lakes and streams of southern Yukon and northern B.C. in my Folbot. I can barely walk now, and my eyesight is so poor I can hardly make out a squirrel in a tree, much less the stars on a clear night. But on my large computer monitor and speakers, your video brings to me the sights and sounds of nature I so love. The call of the loon, the slap of a beaver's tail, the lap of water on a rocky shore, wind in the canopy, the roar of breakers on a troubled lake. Thank you for enriching my life! I also appreciate your setting a good example of managing risk. Adventures are much more rewarding when you survive them. Hopefully your example will encourage young adventurers to exercise better judgement and live longer to share their tales. This was the first video of yours I have come across, but I certainly look forward to watching more. And, I will watch this one again. I was delighted to take the opportunity to subscribe. May your excursions be many, safe, and rewarding. May your memories be warm and satisfying, and may you always have someone you love, and who loves you, to share them with.

[@chrlmlln9018]

Thank you, Fred Cox for such a rewarding writings of yours! Not native English speaker I just agree to every single word you have written above and truly you are telling almost every thought I also have thought during watching this amazing videography of John! I love his fine tuned verbal describing and story telling along his voyage and his language are a delight to listen to! Thank you so very much, sir, for taking your time to writing all this beautiful acknowledgement to honor John for his excellent job to capture his trip! God bless you both! Best regards from Sweden! 💯 👌 👍💝💝💝💖💝💝💝 👍

[@m.t.6969]

Your content is just "superior," literally! It just puts me at peace and in such a wonderful mood. You should consider turning your videos into Imax form. It would be splendid to see. With the music you add and the sound effects coming from the lake, birds, etc, it would be a hit. Thank you for letting me live my dreams vicariously through you. As a fellow nature lover, where I live, we don't have too many beautiful places like this. You truly are a master of your crafts, John.

Nice! I was going to try Silver Islet this summer in my kayak but settled for Pigeon Bay instead. I live in Atikokan so it was a little closer drive. It was a good day, landed a couple salmon. Cheers

Jon, This was a magical video. One of your best. I love how your travel is dictated by the weather. You summed it all up with the last night's unreal sky. Definitely the best 1.5 hours I will spend today. It is so cool you see you put in the work to get out there and gain the rewards of all the beauty that nature offers. Lake Superior is unreal. Alex

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate that Alex 💚

[@JingaBBB]

@@LostLakes is there any possibility of getting your start point in rockport with pathing for the first set of islands? I would like to do a 5 day trip with my grandfather next summer to these island lakes, looks like an extremely scenic route, he loves climbing for views as well, these small peaks may add value for us. Let me know! Thanks

[@LostLakes]

No problem. You can launch a canoe here: goo.gl/maps/3vC79jAGaTjfxLb49 and then cross to the islands anywhere but usually where the distance is minimized. BUT--given that I have no idea of your experience--keep in mind that this lake can be extremely dangerous to be on in any vessel and especially in an open canoe. And to make any open water crossings between islands you MUST have a dry or wet suit. The water is lethally cold even in summer and kills by incapacitation drowning in a few minutes as one's body loses control from the cold. So if you dump away from shore it can be deadly. Conditions change fast and it can be hard to plan a trip here if you don't live close because you might arrive or need to leave on a no-go day.

[@JingaBBB]

@@LostLakes thank you very much, and yes I promise I will over prep and then some, nothing will be pushed or chanced whatsoever. I appreciate your continuous safety conscience for everybody watching, not only myself. It translates, believe me ❤️ Thank you again, also for your work, it’s inspiring and promotes a different mindset for certain things some often overlook, I find you also help keep me focused as far as the small details of what’s really needed, where you can limit/use less/be more conservative etc, not only in camping but many aspects of day to day life. Best wishes

[@differentfins]

Yes! Well Jon I finally went out on Superior myself... for the first time in my life! It was mostly about exploration but did manage to catch some nice salmon from my kayak. I went south of Thunder Bay towards Minnesota in Pigeon Bay. That is my latest video. Anyway your Superior videos are some of my favourite! Such a beautiful lake. I regret not doing it sooner. I'll be exploring a couple new spots every year. Why not, it's only a couple hours drive from home 😎 Cheers!!!

[@LostLakes]

Right on Joe, you've got the bug now man

[@turkeybird7679]

Your photography and shot set-ups were EXTRA GOOD on this trip, and it made it even more enjoyable. I am disabled, and I can not get out in the wilds anymore. I live vicariously through adventures like yours. Your trip was wonderful, and I really hope you enjoyed it. I also hope your back issues stay away as well. Good portaging to you!

[@LostLakes]

[@AnythingOutdoorswithSteve]

I started making videos for 2 reasons; in the event I myself can no longer get out there, and to share the adventures with others who can't get out there. We do a lot more messing around, but check out my channel one day (shameless channel plug 😄)

[@davehunt9817]

Hey Jon, Dave here from Newfoundland, awesome stuff. I was having a hard time with my lower back, and ended up trying daily core workouts and it has changed my life. Getting a strong core is the foundation of a strong body, and therefore a strong mind. Cheers buddy. Keep up the good content.

Thanks for this Dave. Someone gave me a book called "Foundation" which I believe speaks to the same but it's large and I haven't read it yet...you're motivating me though, thanks man

[@chrisblack8390]

That was SO beautiful! All those rock cliffs, northern lights, sunsets and sunrises, beautiful flowers and caves. I collect rock an every one of them would go home with me. I have a old washtub for a table outside an i have small rocks on half of it. I do sit out there an play with them a look at them every day. Yep I'm pretty strange. You can put them in a glass bowl with water in it an floating candles. Thanks excellent video.

My Sunday just started off so much better. Another inspiring adventure. The photography in this one is second to none. Sometimes when I watch this stuff I wonder, will heaven be a let down for Jon?! If there were a separate channel of Lost Lakes drone shots and canoe bow shots, I’d probably leave that on loop on my living room TV. As an aside, in my work life I specialize in the area of joint pain and back pain. It sounds like you struggle with it a lot. If you can see my email on Buy Me a Coffee, feel free to connect. I’ll help you figure out who you should see about it if you’re not already plugged in. I looked for a way to message you directly about this but couldn’t find any.

That final night sky was a transformative experiance to say the least. Thanks for your continued mission to share your love and wonderment of the great outdoors. Looking forward to the next adventure Jon.

[@LostLakes]

Thank you so much Joy!

[@johnrflinn]

Beautifully done. I couldn't help seeing that you preferred using a kayak paddle with the canoe. My Dad with other engineering professors and graduate students from the University of Michigan used to take the train to river crossings on the northern shore of Lake Superior and canoe camp their way down to the lake. There were often several portages and once they got to the lake it was a long paddle back to a town on the lake.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks John :) Yeah for solo, especially into the wind, I've come to much prefer the double blade. Except in whitewater where I still prefer the single blade

[@troyhammond3494]

Being from the U.P. of Michigan currently living in Central Indiana. It's refreshing to see the North Side of Superior. Never have traveled up that direction - However, It is SO AWESOME to see your footage as it's a stark reminder of how much I miss home and the good old days of wintering just South of the Southern Shore.

My favourite lake .What I wouldn't give to go again. I did that section of Lake Superior several years ago. It's all wonderful. I cannot resist adding to my Superior rock collection whenever I visit. I was a bit worried the waves would get you when camped under the rock overhang! Magnificent last night.

[@TimAndyMik]

Our first experience with Lake Superior was at Munising. Hardly comparable to your epic outing, we did get to experience the beauty with which you regularly describe this amazing lake. We had Trout Cove on Grand Island to ourselves for an hour. We also wet our feet and skipped a few stones on the western shores of the island. Neither of us have seen such pristine waters. This is such an amazing video. We’re grateful for your dedication and tireless work to bring such incredible beauty to our lives. Be safe!! The video starting at 47:55 is stunning.

Wish we had this kind of wild in Nebraska… alas, everything is farmed right up to the water’s edge. Navigable but hardly remote. You are blessed.

I'm a traveler myself. I'm older now, and my body still craves the move. Damn body can't cash the checks it once did. Your videos sweep me away, at times when this body tethers me. Thank you

I feel for you my friend...thanks for joining me :)

Your Superior videos are always magical. I would watch them endlessly. What a special place and such a perfect night to end your journey. Thank you.

Thanks for bringing this to my living room. I understand the silence and awe.

I had those day 9 conditions on an open water crossing in my kayak, on Lake Michigan in 2016. NW wind and swells off the open lake from the SE. I ended up cutting behind islands to cut the crossing to 1 mile. Regretted not having the spray skirt on or accessible during that crossing and have not repeated that mistake since.

Wow your living a dream, being one with nature and seeing things that no person really gets to see. I fell in love with snowmobiling for that reason and to to love a season that most hate . You gained another subscriber.
