Brook Trout Creek Kayaking | Finding success even in harsh conditions

[@HaightsWanderings]

Looks like my upload got a bit weird.... from minute 20:00 to 20:50 is a black screen. My bad!!!! Thankfully it's all the way at the end of the video. Quality control didn't catch that oopsie!

Nice , you brave soul. I watched the radar yesterday to see what was coming your way. Have a great Spring

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jim D Check the radar for today too. Ha!

Some real beautiful Brookies dude. Thanks for sharing! I’m heading up next week!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Ace Michael Be forewarned - the rivers are flooded. This weekend will be bad, probably. Hard to tell but the foot or two of snow that fell is melting and we have more rain coming. Stay safe.

Just found your channel on my recommended and can say I enjoyed the video a lot! Keep up the good work man!

[@HaightsWanderings]

You guys earned those brookies, some real beauties. Got the pictures and released them quickly, well done. I personally got skunked on the opener, but I didn't really try that hard.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Barney Ewing Absolutely, Barney. I love the pretty ones - I'd prefer smaller ones with more vivid colors than the larger ones that are dull. But, honestly, they are all beautiful to me!

[@toddshook5798]

Another great video Benjamin. Loved the upstream paddling to get to the trout waters. July cannot get here soon enough for my trip to the U.P. to utilize your guide services.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Tennessee Fishing Heck yeah! Looking forward to it!

[@kevinkubed7683]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I love the rivers too. I didnt make it out for trout opener. I went for walleye in the maumee. Tomorrow im going to try my first good attempt at fishing for some hatchery browns. Its a tiny stream with not many good reports but its my only local option. Going to be a good place to practice regardless and its one of the more beautiful spots by me.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@kevinkubed7683 Cool - walleye sounds fun! I never get a chance to target browns so that sounds fun too. Good luck!

Being down in Venice fl and not at my camp in se Marquette co makes me sad , beautiful fish , the most beautiful fish in the world, I’m so jealous good start to your year , I’ll be living the UP through you my friend, at least until early August

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Brook trout 1 Right on! I am planning another trip this weekend so say tuned!

[@mattryan9805]

Nice brookies man! You were careful with them too. Great video.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Matt Ryan Yeah, got to let them go and let them grow! Thanks.

[@timjones8184]

Oh to be young again. Paddling upstream. Those were some dandy trout. Usually lucky to catch one A-day over 12 inches and you caught how many. I'll be heading up that way in a couple of weeks. Going to finish up turkey season here in Indiana. I can barely wait.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Tim Jones I definitely felt it in my body the next day... I am glad we got out that day too because it's a full blown winter storm today.

[@calhiser8265]

Frozen brade is impossible. Its a good idea to have a backup reel spooled up with mono.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@calhiser8265 Good point! Didn't even think of that.

Where up here u at?

@u.p.mi.woodsman5066 I live on the west side.

[@trout_bum_john]

Looks about as cold and wet as my opener was hahaha. I was up your way kinda actually. Rivers were super blown out where I was and got worse as the weekend progressed. Steelhead, a sucker, a few brown trout and when the river was too high to fish safety, we went out of Munising and caught a limit of tasty coho. Good weekend I guess minus the water levels. Anyways, nice brookies you got into for sure. Tight lines 🤙

[@HaightsWanderings]

@trout_bum_john. It was so nasty but I was so happy to get something. The high water was tough. Glad you got some!
