Hammock Camping & Trout Fishing Tips in Algonquin Park

Here is a fun video from our recent journey to the north end of Algonquin Park. It was my dads first time visiting and I don't think things could have gone better. We had a beautiful spot to ourselves(and the spring peepers), some great food, and left with great memories. The cherry on top of it all was the brook trout that we caught and cooked up which was a first for the three of us. To help us digest all the greatness, one needs a good sleep. So I tried to run down a few tips and tricks that might assist you on your next hammock experience. Let me know what you think of the video and if there's anything I might have missed. Thanks for watching!

I really like your helpful tips. Thanks for your insight! I've been camping and portaging for decades but I am always open to learning new things. Cheers!

[@Evan_Le5]

I’m really glad I could help out! I’ll try to give out more tips in my future videos

What a beautiful getaway!! Algonquin is the cleanest park I’ve seen; dense and super-varied forests with lots of silence! Awesome video Ev, thanks for sharing this memory.

[@Evan_Le5]

It sure was special! Where to next?!

@@Evan_Le5 This feels hard to beat, but we have so many beautiful waterways to explore - here we come!

Amazing trip!! Loved the video especially the close ups of cooking over the fire. You got a nice selection of flies but the good ol' woolly bugger or kreelex always seems to get the job done eh (I carry a hundred flies out there and always end up using the same 3 😂)

[@Evan_Le5]

Aye thanks for watching Derek I was just about to watch your video!! The bugger does it every time I was considering a muddler but maybe next time🎣

[@alanbierhoff6831]

That looked like a great trip. Nice ‘feesh’ too😊

[@Evan_Le5]

Thanks for watching Alan! Definitely grateful for tha feesh🎣

Great catch, looks like the perfect time to get up there. So nice to have you dad join you, he looks quite experienced as well.

[@Evan_Le5]

Thanks a bunch for watching!! I definitely owe it to poppa Pete for catalyzing my love for nature

[@robintheoutside]

Enjoyed this video. What a great little trip. And the hamock tips are on point. On my 15 dayer I can honestly say there was only maybe 3 nights I had it dialed right in and felt like I was is heaven. OHHHH and loved the dance moves at the end! :)

[@Evan_Le5]

Oh wow thanks a lot for watching and commenting! I’m so happy to hear the tips are helping, the hammock stuff can be especially tricky. Here’s to hoping to find that you find that heavenly spot every time🙌

[@NotSoEpicAdventurer]

Great way to start the season Glad you had good weather! :)

[@Evan_Le5]

Thanks a lot for watching and the kind comment Curtis! Looks like summers just about here I hope you’re enjoying the new canoe🛶☀️

[@deriklawlis2843]

beautiful video Evan! inspiring!

[@Evan_Le5]

☀️🛶🙌

[@DBogey]

Never thought about using sheepskin while hammocking. Def will have to try - so damm comfy !!!!

[@Evan_Le5]

Oh it it a game changer for sure you won’t want to get up🤣

[@jaysway2346]

Nice trip guy's and a lot of good tips!

[@Evan_Le5]

Hey thanks a lot for watching! Did you find any that you might try?

[@jaysway2346]

@@Evan_Le5 Surfer dude tree measurement is good way to remember and packing the canoe to paddle straighter.😁

[@Evan_Le5]

Heck ya I’m happy that helped!!🛶

[@mattcarlson5179]

Great video, where did you get that stand for the fire pit?

[@Evan_Le5]

Thanks a lot! The grill is made by GOSO

[@MrMike0076]

Great video! Just wanted to say the fish you caught is a Splake. Brook Trout have “square” tails & yours has a very distinct “V” tail which Splake have. Good luck fishing 🎣!!

[@Evan_Le5]

Oh wow thank you for pointing that out I never realized! I’ve changed the title and I’ll be sure to be more aware next time.

[@joshuabooth2955]

It was a brrok trout. It was just the angle of the camera that made it appear that way. There are no splake in algonquin rivers

[@jimhamel7864]

Newly subbed, great video. Thanks for sharing. What kind of campfire grill did you use?

[@Evan_Le5]

Hey Jim thank you that means a lot! We used the Suluk 46 ultralight grill, it’s as light as a feather

[@philrudachuk4904]

Hi great video,also looking for info on the folding grill you have. Tried to find it online and had no luck, any link you could share?

[@Evan_Le5]

@philrudachuk4904 hey my friend it’s called the GOSO folding grill made in Canada we have loved it! Looks like they have an affiliate program I should consider haha. Let me know if you can find it alright

[@ryderlapage]

got any suggestions for entry points? hoping to do the same this spring

[@Evan_Le5]

Brent! Be careful paddling cedar though it’s a really dangerous lake to be paddling in the spring. Make sure you’re able to self rescue out on the water and keep some dry clothes handy, it’s a big crossing.
