Algonquin Part 1 - lake trout fishing

My friend Leif took me to Algonquin park with him to go fishing for lake trout, bass and walleye. This video is the first half of our 4-night trip, where we go fishing for lake trout and part 2 is the second half where we target bass and walleye.

Heading to the park at the end of August. Which lake did you catch your trout in? You guys did a great job. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the comment! Sorry, won't say what lakes but hope you had some good luck with the lakers!

Landed my first laker this summer from my canoe. Got a Charlie horse mid fight in my quad and had to lay down in the boat. When I finally got the fish beside the boat my leader snaps. I grabbed the tail and hung on for dear life. I forgot my net back at the campsite and I’m trying to get this fish in the boat (I am by myself). After about 5 minutes of trying to get this fish in the boat I manage to get it over the gunnels and Into the boat. 14lbs 39” laker.

[@thecanoefisherman9642]

wow, that's quite the story! 😆 , and fish too! Good job! Can't believe you were able to hold onto the tail and get him the boat! I only started fishing for Lakers last year and my three biggest lakers are all 6Ibs! but I've learned a lot and my goal is to try and catch 10+ pounder this year. Did you catch it jigging or trolling? I've mostly caught mine jigging.

[@bevinashton3098]

what bait are you using for the trout?

[@thecanoefisherman9642]

I was using a silver and gold spoon on a 3-way rig and my buddy was using spoons as well

[@jameshamilton2590]

What weight and what depth do you reckon you were at?

[@calebvincent373]

Carl Wilson?

[@thecanoefisherman9642]

No, this lake is a smaller one, more in the park a few portages to get to.

@@thecanoefisherman9642 lol... nice fish tho..

[@thecanoefisherman9642]

@@calebvincent373 Thanks! Hopefully, I can go up there again this summer, might try Carl Wilson for some lakers.

[@calebvincent373]

@@thecanoefisherman9642 Yes for sure.. I’ve done very well for lakers and brookies in Carl Wilson..

Dont put your fingers in their gills. It can kill them. I went to this same lake last year. Our best was a 7 pounder.

[@thecanoefisherman9642]

Ya thanks, I've learned since then, didn't know how delicate they were when I first started fishing for them.
