Quest for the Wild Trout - Portaging into a Remote Native Trout Lake for Spring Fishing & Camping
Quest for the Wild Trout - Portage to Remote Native Trout Lake for Spring Ice-Out Fishing & Camping I shot this fishing adventure on a four-day canoe trip north of Massey, Ontario in Northern Ontario, Canada. I did the trip with @MySelfReliance @TheRealTedBaird and @nate_muskoka Check out their channels! Dogs Cali and North were along for the adventure too. We were heading into a remote lake that holds native Lake Trout and we battled strong winds and deep mud while completing several portages before getting there. What we found is a beautiful lake with many islands and rocky outcrops that we had all to ourselves...and we caught a lot of fish too.

Thanks for watching! Let me know what your favourite part of this video is and don’t for get to subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already. Thanks a lot for your support.

[@kaohtix420]

Curious what's the brand of the ring knife you have I'm quite interested

[@allisonwanderland9917]

Favourite parts were all the delicious fishes and the tip re gutting! Thanks Jim!

[@antoniobaez6282]

I like seeing how you cleaned the fish and than cooked them! Yum! 26:30

[@NatureIntoAction]

Appreciate seeing the different lure info and that butterfly fillet. Maybe you have one already but if not an instructional on that butterfly would be terrific.

[@katlookingup3625]

Enjoyed all of it, as usual 💕

[@gr8outdoors]

The struggles, pain, and physical hardship we are willing to endure to have the solitude and the rewards of having a place all to ourselves is so worth it. That is why I love watching your adventures because I can relate so much.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Absolutely and even the parts that are hard at the time become part of the overall fun

[@gr8outdoors]

@@JimBairdAdventurer Definitely! All adds to memories.

[@ralphwatten2426]

Jim and Ted videos are the best outdoor videos on KZbin bar none. Thanks for taking us fishing. Thanks for showing how you clean and cook your fish. Very clear, concise how-to. I can't be sure but I think Teds' Laker was the biggest. Thanks again.

[@lorrainedunbar4274]

Jim your videos always makes us feel we're on the trip with you .whether it be on the canoe or in the back country .You definitely Know how to film and educate us with info of each area. This is what makes us feel we are right there with you. Also thanks for not cutting out the camp fire talk .Sitting around a camp fire with friends or family and sharing thoughts and stories well done Jim !!!! Teds videos are awsome also . Thanks YAAAAAA as you always say and Hudson

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot for watching and for the great comment. I hear that from people who say they feel like they’re there. I’m not sure what it is I do to make that the case but maybe it’s the way I talk to the camera. Anyway, I’m glad it’s engaging to a few people so that’s great to hear. Yaaaaa

[@waltsimonson2556]

I love the fish , but you are the first one I've seen make pancakes in the wild in a long long time and I don't know why . Ever time I go into the woods , I have pancakes and bacon at least one morning if not every morning . I always look forward to it. Doesn't matter if I went through hell , the weather was horrible , or anything else , as long as I have my Bacon and pancakes in the morning , all will be good with the World . Oh and coffee . Thank you , for being awesome , once again .

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot, and ya, pancakes are the best out there. And if you have bacon too than that’s tough to beat!

[@lpschick7237]

Jim thank you for filming you getting stuck. The best thing you did was NOT panic. Always learn something new watching your videos. Just goes to show how quickly your circumstances can change. Glad you were able to get out of there WITH your shoes. 😉. PS….the fish a long the doggie in the face was pretty hilarious. 😂

[@BrienWood7.3]

This was absolutely well done!! Such a fun adventure to watch! My favorite part was the whole video! Thank you for sharing.

[@PocketKnivesBlog]

As I watch more and more of your vids I look more for your morning talks from your barrel!! Great vid and TY!!!

Wicket video. Spend a lot of time in my mad river journey at the mud trout. Can’t wait for spring.

But did you run out of whiskey before you solved all the world's problems? I really love your videos, Jim. It's like I'm right there with you. Never lose that ambiance.

[@starbright47]

This was great fun, my fav's are the stunning scenery, (as with yr brother's channel, excellent camera work,) the beauty of the fish and the friedship❣️

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Much appreciated!!

[@TheRealTedBaird]

Two Beer and that's ready to go LOL

[@rumaniaurbina5979]

Very good video Jim!! Yummy fish 👍 One of my favorite parts was seeing your expertise when you butterflied 🦋 slewed the fish 🐟 leaving it without any bones. Yet, another of my favorite parts of this video was how you got out from that deep muddy hole which had the effect of quick sand. My best regards to you Jim, Cori, and the children!!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks!

Lets go fishing JIMBO !!! SHAWN & OUR CALI YEAH!!! TED AND everyone else !!! BIGGER FISH FOR JIMBO !!!

So happy to get another Baird video! Thanks Jim - you do a great job making your videos - I think some of the best outdoor ones on Utube! Can’t wait for the next adventure- 😀

Ah, you lads were playing in my backyard, happy you enjoyed yourselves, another great video

It's a toss up for my favourite moment. "I did it" when you knew you wouldn't be digging out your shoe. That Shit eating grin on Ted's face when he netted the lunker.

that was one of the best trips

57:44 when you released it she coughed up another fish. Awesome video!

Thanks! Ya, that was pretty cool to see. I don’t thing I saw that until I watched the footage.

[@pnw_element9822]

I love these kind of adventure heck yeah guys damn awesome

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot bud!

[@josephb.johnson8122]

Thanks for the hint as to the location. I was able to guess the lake based on where you put in at the start of the video, but it's nice to have confirmation that I guessed right.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Haha, nice man, I figure that if someone what’s to do the work to figure out where it is and do the work to get there than they deserve it. Having people care about the lake is a good thing.

[@josephb.johnson8122]

@@JimBairdAdventurer I do this on your othet videos, too: I try to match the scenery with what I can see on Google Maps. It's a fun exercise. And I respect your reasons for not being overt about where you're voyaging.

Found it. Too many clues :)

This made me happy! I’m at home sick, and this makes me look forward to this spring here in Alaska. I can’t wait to have shore lunch. Kick ass trip boyz.

[@lizcaporicci8483]

Jim, again an epic production of what it is to camp out in the wild. Kudos to your friends as well, catching the trout they did, and pushing hard against that wind. It was hard seeing you stuck in the mud, though. What cannot happen out there? Thank you again for a great time out to watch this episode.

[@KAStodgell]

I love fireball. What a brilliant.ithing to do.

[@KelJayP]

Awesome with such a great variety of content, too! I wish I could now see Hudson hanging off the side of the couch watching this as you catch those fish ~ YEAHHHHH!

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot! You mean this video specifically has a good variety of content? Or my channel? I suppose this vid does with the camping, portaging, paddling, fishing, cooking and me taking about the logging etc.

[@KelJayP]

@@JimBairdAdventurer Yes, I did mean this video specifically. I saw it was an hour long, but I never once considered "skipping ahead a bit". It was a perfect mix of what you listed with great timing, comments, and film work. And that's also true for your channel as well.

[@asimally9468]

SMART GUYS , THE WAY U COOK THE GREAT TROUT FISH IS TAKE OUT ALL THE GOOD THINGS FROM IT ..JUST THE TASTE LEFT .... CRAP COOKING .... THE REST IS AWESOME ...

So you eat the guts and consider them to be the best part? Good for you.

Thanks a lot snd yes, that fish barfed up a minnow it’d already eaten. I don’t think I saw that until watching the footage.

[@lawrencelandriault-iy4eh]

Up to your .... In mud! Grew up in Massey area. Went to Elementary School there. Spent many times "Up the Tote Road" as we call it. Canoed the Sables River from just north of Bull Lake to just below Cameron Falls. Now that's 40- 45 years ago. Was great Speck fishing in the river at the time. Sure nice to have you visit the area.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Thanks a lot, o love the area. I’ve heard the spec fishing is still good on that stretch actually and we were talking about floating it next spring! Funny you should mention it.

[@nickstojanovic8868]

Very nice video. My buddy and I went to Bull lake quite a few years ago for 3 years in a row. An older chap Jerry owned the camp back then. He called himself a bush pig. LOL. We mainly hit some of the back lakes for speckles and the river a few times but mostly got smaller ones in the river. That little cabin over the lake at 2:39 on the left with the red roof is where we stayed.

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing. It’s a pretty awesome area

Everyone had caught 1 or 2 that day, , but me, Nada, so said, if I finally catch a Trout , before we head for shore, I will kiss it !! ( Ah !! yes !! I, finally did the kiss!! A Promise Made is a Debt unpaid !!lol !! )~~ Thanks Jim, Tori, & Family for All your great Vids.. Keep Healthy & Safe.. Keep Enjoying Life & Sharing it with so many Others You are Appreciated !! :

Hey Jim Here’s an interesting connection between your canoe trip and eating some canned food! I did a canoe trip with a couple of guys from the Australian SAS. To cook a can in the fire they put a dent in the can, threw it on the coals and when the dent popped out it was done. It’s was called “al dente” !
