[@Woodstock271]

That place is absolutely beautiful. I love your channel and have been subscribed for years. I rarely comment but you got life by the horns my friend. You have a ranch with goats and chickens and ducks and Guinea hens, and living life the way it should be lived. Just naturally and without pretense. Fishing lakes around you and excited about life. I’m 61 now and lived a really crazy life in nature but now my hips are shot and I just can’t hike miles anymore. It used to be a breeze. Never even thought about it. Surfing in Hawaii for most my life. Me and dad sailed from San Francisco to Hawaii in 1984 on his old beautiful Tahiti ketch. We sailed all around the South Pacific, just headed back to Hawaii. Saw the most beautiful things this planet has to offer. Dad moved to Canada with his wife and she died shortly after of lung cancer. Dad was alone now and I worried about him. He was still writing his short stories and publishing them but his heart wasn’t in it anymore. I knew I was losing my dad. My best friend. My sailing partner. He called me from Vancouver Island and said I should fly up there from Hawaii. He’s got a surprise trip for us. I’m like, “What? Where?” And he said, “Son, just get up here.” Me and dad had sailed all over the South Pacific together so I’m thinking he’s got something crazy planned and he won’t tell me what it is. That’s dad. Always mysterious and loves a surprise. So I took vacation time and flew up to Nanaimo, BC. I figured this was our last great adventure together and I was right. He’s getting old but his mind is sharp as ever. Basically he’s messing with his son like he always did. I don’t fall for the same tricks anymore but I love watching him try. “Okay dad, what’s the plan, where are we going.” He nodded, “You’re from Hawaii and need a visitor fishing license. We’ll be gone five days.” And that’s all he said. I know this man very well and he’s toying with me and I’m not biting. I know we’re going on a fishing trip but I don’t know where and I’m not stupid enough to ask. It’s a surprise so I played along. And dad milked it as long as possible. It was a dream trip. We drove to Eagle River and hopped on a Cessna float plane out 50 miles from civilization and landed on a lake in the mountains. Middle of nowhere. No humans for 50 miles at least. No roads to this place. You can only get here by floatplane. “Okay dad, this is gonna be cool. It’s no surprise, I figured you’d pull something like this.” He just laughed. It was a lake with a cabin, the only cabin, and it was an abandoned ranger station with three walls and a bear lock on the back door. And I’m looking at the open wall on the front porch. We can lock the bears out from the back door but they’ll just easily climb up on the porch and into the cabin. I’m thinking this old ranger who lived here was insane. But, we saw no bears the whole week we were there. Trout and salmon were jumping like crazy all over our lake. It was ridiculous! It was fall and salmon were heading up river to spawn but this was obviously a rest area on the lake connected to the river. Just fish splashing constantly day and night, it was hard to fathom how many fish were here. Thousands easily. We brought with us, a couple steaks and potatoes and butter but that’s about it. The plan was to survive on fish for the rest of the week. And we did. These trout have never seen a human before. Never seen fishing line or a hook. They bit on every cast. So did the salmon. We ate well on that trip. I had my guitar and dad had his harmonica. We played old blues tunes on the rickety old porch every night. The floatplane picked us up on Thursday at noon. I didn’t want to leave. This was the most wild and beautiful mountain lake I’d ever seen. Ever fished. Best trip by far and last trip with my dad. I mean, I could say our sailing adventures were better because we were younger but this was our last voyage and it was special. Miss you dad.

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Your story left me speechless man... That's a dream of mine, to fly into an area so remote that man does not exist. Away from even trails existing. And don't even get me started on sailing the world!

And you’re right that once you get dropped off and that plane leaves, you really are alone as it gets. The silence is deafening.

I feel like these videos really are something special, thank you for making these videos and I’ve almost watched every video of yours and I never get bored. I just wanna say how thankful I am for that your channel exists and inspires these many people!😊

Awesome Part 2! I've fished my whole life, and never have I ever caught a football size trout. The size of those fish is crazy! It's definitely worth the hike, and thanks for bringing us on the hike with you, lol

Dude it’s been 4 months.. I know life gets busy but like a lot of people are saying this is your job this is how you make a living. I’ve read other comments on how they think it’s a punch in the gut that you haven’t posted let alone not post why you haven’t and I’d have to agree with them. I remember this year in a video you said you were going to do weekly videos and you’ve barely made a video a month. All I am saying is if you can’t produce that than you probably shouldn’t tell your thousands of fans that.

My guy ? Where have you disappeared ? 😮 Where’s the monthly uploads ? 🫠

[@Ross_On_Drums]

Absolutely my favourite channel on KZbin. Inspired me to get my fishing rod out for the first time in 20 years last weekend and got a lovely golden trout. Heading out again today. Best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Dude..are you still alive?

[@floresaza253]

Honestly I have the exact same concern. He's gone blank in all the social media of his that I follow. Very concerning

[@ArgjendB8502]

@@floresaza253yeah, if he gets unalived during a hiking trip no one will know for months since he lives in a mountain farm and has no connection to the outside world other than the internet

[@qrax1543]

Being from, and living in denmark, I absolutely adore the amount of stunning, untouched wilderness you guys get to explore. Treasure it! Amazing how you treat it like your own home, everyone should have that respect for nature! Let me know if you need some more seasalt, we got plenty here!

[@NWFishingSecrets]

It really is amazing how much untouched nature still exists in N America. Can't wait to explore the Canadian wilderness sometime too 🎣 Careful or you could become my Salt importing partner 😆 It's getting harder and harder to ship over here. Might have to make a trip to the island soon and arrange for a pallet to ship haha 😜 Greetings to Denmark my friend! 🇩🇰

[@qrax1543]

@@NWFishingSecrets I'm a long time viewer and follower of the channel -I'd love to help out if you would like that! They come in 2,5 kg bags, bet i could get a couple of those in a parcel, depending on your needs haha. Also they sell seasoning salt too, one of them is made specificly for fish, we should get some of that to you so you can try it out in the mountains! Let me know, very happy to help! -Mathias

LOL, the reason I do not sub is because the ONCE A WEEK video turns into ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS videos...

[@saegusax]

this is a real person with a life outside of youtube. u dont know whats going on in his personal life. stop being rude just because he stopped posting for a bit, jesus christ... dont even call urself a fan if ur gonna behave like this

[@DarrelSitzman]

Not dead

hes not dead this is so weird to comment bruh

[@michaelacevedo8240]

Thank you for all your survival knowledge I appreciate you 🍄🎣🌮⛰🍽

[@paulomenezes3499]

I hate to say it because I have been subscribed to this guy for a long time but I’m unsubscribing. I love his content but I think he forgets that we are his source of income and he doesn’t even give an update for almost 4 months now. If I had to call into work I would let my boss know. If I went weeks or months without doing so I would get fired. Just as anyone would. I feel very unappreciated as a subscriber. It’s because of us that Leif is at the position in life he is in. The fish farm. The new truck. The second property. And for what? To get ghosted for slowly approaching half a year?

[@ArgjendB8502]

Yeah to be honest i get you, ive been a big fan of leif s for a while now but this is just a punch in the guts to his fanbase, he always says that he ll make weekly videos and then he ghosts his audience for 3 months, i do enjoy his videos but leaving your audience without an update for months is just unbelievable. I mean come on a community post takes what 5-10 minutes to write, but he hasnt even done that so far.

[@paulomenezes3499]

@ yes exactly. You are allowed to have a life and handle business if you need to. But it takes 2 minutes to make a post saying “hey guys I’m having a family emergency and I’m going to be gone a while I’ll keep you updated” it’s not that hard. Especially if it’s your job

[@Burgerb0y17]

Your videos make me happy. Thank you.

[@NWFishingSecrets]

thank you for enjoying! :)

[@Tightlinesoutdoors-iy6tm]

I hope he’s safe and ok. I know some of his adventures can be dangerous so I hope he’s safe and just filming a nice long video ❤ i can’t wait to hear from him

[@philiphaenen5546]

Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures. We look forward to every episode as if we were traveling with you. Having lived and fished in Washington State, I can appreciate the beauty of the high mountains that very few people access. Keep up the great adventures and great fishing content. And don't forget the butter.
