Abandoned in the Far North of Canada, the Forgotten Estates.

[@HoneyandMe]

Dease Lake was home for 2 years. There was, at that time, a little more to it. A hardware store and gift shop, another restaurant or two. But it's really lost a lot of the services. The bar used to do a Friday night steak night for $10! Best steak I ever ate! The 'estate' was moved in from Cassiar when it shut down, as were some of the houses. There used to be a big office of Forestry workers, which brought in a lot of families and made it necessary to build housing, which after the office closed, sat empty for quite a few years. When I went through last fall, those houses seem to have residents. I enjoyed living in Dease Lake. Now, living more of the year in THE Yukon at our cabin, and not at our home base in southern BC, I can honestly say...northern living is the best!

I’ve fished Northern Pike for nearly 70 years. Once you’ve hooked into a large Pike you are ruined for any other kind of fishing. Although I have to admit a Muskie ranks right up there with the Northern. Most people pass on Pike fishing because of the Y-bones. However if you know how to fillet them correctly the bones are avoided. Without a doubt this has been one of your best Destination Adventure episodes.

[@Marcelmopartruckguy]

I remember ice fishing for Northern pike in Alberta way back when and some of them we couldn’t pull up through the 8” augured ice hole!!! You would just see those rows of teeth!!

[@FreeDom-dh5mf]

... and that is saying a lot!

[@BonesyTucson]

Man, I'd love to try that. When I went for pike in the great lakes area I find they're pretty good fight.. for a short period of time, and then nothing. Probably why I prefer I bass fishing. Of course, I'd love me some muskie action too.. here's to some good fishin' buddy!

[@Destination_Adventure]

The filleting has taken a lot of practice and video watching, and I’m still pretty lousy at it, but the meat is very very good. Well worth the struggle. lol

[@marky-n]

Pike is one of my favorite fish in Alberta. its so easy to fillet.. i found video on you yube how to do it properly

[@rhondaburke5700]

Emi is your good luck charm for fishing. She is all you needed ❤😂

[@creamsiclem4433]

Looks like Emmy needs a bigger net.

[@JRWaite-ur5ge]

The abandoned townhomes originated from the town of Cassiar. They were one building there. In 1992/93, after the mine closed, they were split into three and moved to Dease Lake. Only one section, the one on your right, is lived in. They were so expensive to heat and maintain that none could be rented. There are many homes in the area from Cassiar. Great video 🤙

[@Destination_Adventure]

Really nice info, thanks so much.

[@timwilson4808]

Cool I worked on those townhouses when they were moved to Dease Lake sometime in the late 90’s. shame to see them in this condition.

[@paulhiebert1887]

I thought that they looked familiar, they were stained a brown color when I stayed with my cousin and her husband in Cassiar for a couple of weeks before I got a job working in the lumber mill in Watson Lake YT back in the late 80's.

[@davecottrell3044]

Welcome back to our beautiful country!

[@safelysomewhere]

From this video and any time I've visited in recent years, I'm pretty sure even the right side is a lost cause now. But I definitely do remember at least 2 units being occupied sometime between 2003-2008. Family of a childhood friend lived in one briefly, I think the father was a doctor.

[@alandsofairandbright]

Man I still can't get over that rig you built.👌🔥

[@leapingsilver6112]

So glad to see Emy having a ton of fun catching fish , Now she knows why we love it!!

[@davidlipski863]

Emi brightens the day with her smile and laugh, good to see her enjoying your trip. Sad to hear of the fire damage in Jasper over 300 homes destroyed.

[@williamwilliam728]

Thank you thank you thank you. I watched 3 of my all-time favourite KZbin traveling adventurers all at once. The smiles were wonderful from all of you fishing away. You made me smile 12000 km away. Love from the Philippines. ♥

[@reubenj.cogburn8546]

What a fun adventure this was. The humility, wisdom and compassion is always present in your film work. Thanks for bringing us along

[@brianpesci]

Finally, a KZbinr that utilizes the entire fish! Getting a rich fish stock is an awesome way to get the most out of the catch, it's amazing how good it tastes with fresh fish!

[@montyforster3370]

As a devout fisherman i smied when you leaned over to adjust the drag. Its all the little things you capture that make for such delirious echantment. My thanks again from the flatlands of Alberta. Cheers

[@MrRandyf]

Sweet to see foresty. Forest on the channel both of you guys have great content

[@bubba41123]

Foresty forest is half the reason I got into these videos. I got the feels watching him get that fish, he has been tying soo hard!!!

[@marywalker2896]

That was a beautiful place at one time.. looks like at one time apartment buildings....lots of fun fishing…beautiful gorgeous mountains and scenery..

[@2times2is4]

So happy for Emi. What a great adventure.

That's what I'd call a successful day of fishing! Way to go, those were some beautiful looking fish.

[@StonyTackleShack]

We'll get another fly rod out to you when your ready, and from the looks of it, a bit bigger of a net for those monster pike! I'll see what I can find for a collapsible net to get those big guys in the boat easier.

[@sarakalisgilbert]

My two favourite people to follow. You and Simon! The best of KZbin adventure channels right there! AWESOME!

[@kirkboivin4357]

I worked on that project back in the mid 90's . We moved those buildings in sections from the abandoned and closing town of Casiar. They were reassembled in Dease Lake to provide rental units for the government forestry workers that were supposed to base in Dease . The government never actually showed up and while one of the buildings was operating for a couple of years the project collapsed. Vandalism took care of the rest of it and the place was eventually condemned. There was a large concrete sign that read Stikine Gate.

[@tykillick]

wow i cant believe this showed up on my youtube feed. ty killick here. i remember you calling it' Stinkin Gate". i hope you are both doing well. we are still living on the same acreage west if edmonton. are yourslf and Maryanne still in the area?

[@weavertip]

Had to come back and watch Emi The fish Slayer for the second time. Still an Unbelievable catch just wow.

[@genzigzag]

Haven't been up to Dease Lake in years. We have such a beautiful province, we forget how much there is to see.

[@donaldharrison3031]

The complex you speak of originally was in Cassiar when the mine was in full production. It was for housing and was full when I lived in Cassiar. After the mine shut down the buildings for whatever reason were moved to Dease Lake. As a side interest the new school in Cassiar was shut down a few years after it was built and moved to another location after the Mine ceased production.

[@NancyHanson3472]

I am a HUGE fan of Foresty Forest, and when he said on his Patreon that he just happened to see you at a stop light and then proceeded to stop and say hello, I was hoping that we would see a collaboration. Thanks, Dustin, for this collaboration!!!
