[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

Nice fresh spring specs and beer🎉

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Is there a better combination?

[@smokeymcspitter]

Nice video 👏 can’t wait to get out when the ice is off this year.

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

We’re finally going this weekend now that backcountry opened up today!

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video, love fishing 🎣

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks Jeffrey Bezos 👍🏻🔥🎣

[@maninthewoods]

Great video

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks Rod! It was a good start to the season! Got a few more videos recorded this past weekend too!

[@maninthewoods]

Sweet. I can't wait to get out again!

[@rossdunlop2274]

my pals and i goto algonquin every spring and fall. We got skunked off the kiosk jump-off going south ad through a bunch of lakes looking for lake trout. Came back in the fall and fished the south end through Ragged and caught three on the last day of trout season. Cant beat it.

[@GalensFishing]

Awesome video guys

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks Galen! More coming from the park soon! 😁

[@GalensFishing]

@@TheAverageJoesFishingShow I went last Sunday. The water temp was super cold still. Managed 2 small brookies but had to work hard for them. I'm hoping to head back when the water warms up a bit

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

@@GalensFishing we did really well with the warm weather this past weekend, but yes the water is still cold! Got up to about 44f mid day, the next two weekends will be the best temperature all spring to catch them!

[@GalensFishing]

@@TheAverageJoesFishingShow it was 48.6 near Haliburton, crazy how much colder the park is

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

@@GalensFishing it is for sure!

[@mikeorourke7171]

Great video guys. Hopefully you guys make it out next opener

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks Mike! We’ll for sure be out ALL of May and the end of April if weather is permitting!

[@tsocanuck]

great vid ...i love the catch and cook

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks buddy! Got a couple more videos recorded this past weekend too!

[@RightHookedCanada]

Great to see local content! To bad about your rod, like you say. Its all part of the game.

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks for the local support bud! And yea is what it is haha That Brookie is bragging to all his buddies about his new rod he got 😂

[@jameshamilton2590]

Hey guys great vid, did a bunch of googling and could not find it. Can you link that gang troll set up you’re using?

[@quacksmack7449]

I love the attitude on the releases and proper fish handling :) Well said, have a great safe season fellas !!.

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thank you sir! It’s very crucial for that survival rate! Best of luck to you as well! 😁

[@samuelhowe447]

It would behoove you not to take our Lords name in Vain

[@jaysway2346]

That catch and release was so quick the rod went with it. Nice video guy's!

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Lol quite the blooper you catch on film 😂 Second time that’s happened to me but first with a Brookie lol thanks for watching Jay 😁

[@davehendrick5497]

Good job, you guys are a great pair to watch and great educational videos

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks Dave! We tolerate one another on camera 😉

[@bunkone]

Awesome video! What kind of dog is that btw?

[@Evan_Le5]

This is great. Can’t wait to head up May 13th, hoping to catch my first trout!

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks Evan! Keep it simple and you’ll catch them, too often guys overthink it. A hook and worm is all you need!

[@Evan_Le5]

@@TheAverageJoesFishingShow I’m so excited!

[@TaplayOutdoors]

@@TheAverageJoesFishingShow evan I am heading there too from May 13th to 16th. Little trout, queer and time river

[@dmanwithnoname9179]

Great video guys, keep up the good work. Your spot on about selective harvest in Algonquin, we all need to practice this. Much respect ! 👍

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks bud! Very important to practice for sure! We got out again this past weekend with lots more success!

[@rossdunlop2274]

top secret spot: the portage between smoke lake and ragged, theres a couple pools there. We could literally see x3 12-16" trout just laying there. At that point it was already october so we just watched.

[@FreakofNature1]

Get out of my spot!🤣 Loved the fire side chat boys🔥🏕 Very well spoken and way to educate.👊 Congratulations on the first Algonquin Laker Lyle! Also you know you from the valley when you lads are wearing jeans into the park👖🥾

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Took a while to respond to this one lol Thanks Tuna! Lyle always has a horseshoe up his ass lol And blue jeans are a staple of the valley 😉

[@frankhanes8005]

were you guys using just warms? Just curious thanks. Nice looking fish boys good job.

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

For the first two and last Brookies yes, just hook and worm! Honestly Frank, the best setups for spring trout are always the most simple, don’t need anything too fancy! The other trout were caught trolling! 😄

[@evancaird273]

Have my babies

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Both of us or just one of us? 😉

[@kieranisenor1683]

Miss the park haven’t made it in about 8 years. Been trying to get a group to make a trip there one of these years

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

It’s the place to be! Heaven on Earth! You should get back in there buddy!

[@peterbrouwer143]

Great vid boys! Your getting me so excited for some spring Brookie fishing in Algonquin. Nice canoe as well. What is the make and size?

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks Pete! Gotta get in there while the biting is hot 😉 And the canoe is a Swift Prospector 16, Kevlar Carbon Fusion, 42lbs!

[@peterbrouwer143]

@@TheAverageJoesFishingShow that’s a beauty!

[@alexs3447]

Glad to hear the catch and release advice and new policy. The park cannot be a fish farm.

[@Krayonsss]

Is it free to go? Or how do you access water

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

You need to buy the appropriate park permits to access Algonquin waters

[@AWESOMEGUY41]

Have you guys ever fished rock lake or surrounding waters?

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

I’ve been through there yes, very nice system! Lots of good scenery and fishing can be decent too!

[@Lou_Zasil]

worms or other live bait is prohibited in the park

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Worms are good to go, the park wide rule is actually no live baitfish! Worms and even dead preserved minnows are alright to use. However there are a handful of specific lakes in the park where organic bait is prohibited, and in those cases you would be correct! Thanks for watching!

[@NatureBound]

Trout opens on the last Saturday in April for the park lads. April 30th. Fourth weekend outside the park.

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

Thanks for the comment and for watching! It opens Fourth Saturday of April every year. If you look at the regs, it has always specified that day as the opening date, not the last Saturday. Tight lines!

[@NatureBound]

@@TheAverageJoesFishingShow I copy and pasted this : last Saturday in April The Algonquin Park fishing season opens on the last Saturday in April and ends September 30th. Earlier in the season, until late June, the best action is for the brook and lake trout. These cold water fish prefer cooler water and can be found closer to the surface at this time.

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

@@NatureBound wherever you copied this text from is incorrect. It’s vital to take information from proper sources online. This link below is the only proper resource for Ontario’s Fishing Regs. If you scroll down to the “Waterbody Exceptions” you can read the following… “Algonquin Park Live fish may not be used as bait or possessed for use as bait Dip nets and baitfish traps may not be used to harvest baitfish Fish sanctuary - no fishing from January 1 to Friday before fourth Saturday in April and December 1 to December 31” www.ontario.ca/document/ontario-fishing-regulations-summary/fisheries-management-zone-15

[@NatureBound]

​@@TheAverageJoesFishingShow Yeah I've read that 100 times and that's what I thought myself. When you look at the literature online, it says its open on the fourth weekend. But when I went to get a pass for my buddy they told me April 30th in the park, so I had to wait an extra week. piss me off lol. The guy at the bait store had a note from the MNR saying it wasn't open till may 13th this year for some reason, but I disregarded that. Just so we're clear, I don't really care myself, a few days isn't gonna make or break a species Just wouldn't want anyone to get in trouble. Now you have me thinking the guy at the gate just googled it and saw what I saw lol Anyways, good video lads maybe see yaz out there someday

[@TheAverageJoesFishingShow]

@@NatureBound yea it’s always been fourth Saturday of April in the regs, so not sure why they told you otherwise. Have to always be positive with the regs, and rely on those government resources more so than the he said she said info which can be very different and wrong lol Backcountry camping was originally getting held off till May 13th due to ice, but is not open. Thanks for watching Eric, glad you enjoyed it. We’re local to the same area, so I’m sure it’ll happen eventually where we’ll cross paths!
