Ranger Lake Loop - 10 Day Fishing Canoe Trip, Part 2

[@LostLakes]

Man this makes me wanna get back there. Awesome vids Alec and that was great to see you get into a nice Torrance laker (thanks for the mention!). Uncle Doug is hilarious

[@AleconAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it! Tripping with Doug is always a great time. Thanks for watching!

[@tonysilverman5038]

That rotary bush phone is PRICELESS!

[@AleconAdventures]

😆 I know! It was pretty funny to find that in one of the cabins. Thanks for watching!

[@scottwhite7320]

Thanks for sharing, loved your video

[@AleconAdventures]

Great to hear Scott. Thanks!

[@bernkondret9981]

Look at about 15:27, 15:42 as you walk the portage trail. I can see several trees that were struck by lightening.

[@AleconAdventures]

Oh yeah, you might be right. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@hellojiny8935]

정말멋져요💙

[@AleconAdventures]

Thanks😀 It was an awesome trip!

[@henrymostert2125]

I was planning to do this route in early May period but was unable to because of covid. Good to see that you got it and did it and it looks like an amazing time

[@AleconAdventures]

It was tough planning canoe trips during that time with all the uncertainty and Doug Ford's obsession with banning backcountry camping. As soon as we were able to, we paddled this route and thoroughly enjoy it. Hopefully you can paddle this route in the future. Thanks for watching Henry!

[@jaysway2346]

Awesome trip.....Excellent fishing and chef Doug was a great paddle partner.

[@AleconAdventures]

It had been a long time since just the two of us paddled together. My first few canoe trips in high school were just with Doug. It was great to get him out on a longer trip and we thoroughly enjoyed this remote area of the province. Thanks for watching!

[@stephenbouchard8075]

Looks like the fishing gods where with you guys. Thanks for posting.

[@AleconAdventures]

After one day of catching no fish the weather changed, the river opened up and the fish turned on. It was a great trip. Thanks for watching Stephen!

[@zenrhinno]

Love it. Just finished this route yesterday and came home to watch your video and relive the journey all over again. What a great route.

[@AleconAdventures]

That's awesome! I really enjoyed the route too and hope to paddle it again in May. Did you see any other paddlers? and how were the water levels for you?

[@zenrhinno]

@@AleconAdventures I saw one other paddler finishing the portage after the confluence between the two rivers. He gave me some great insight into the route ahead. Also spotted a couple sets of anglers in john boats in the bigger lakes, and the owner of the lodge on ranger lake stopped us on our last rainy portage and insisted we come inside for pancakes and coffee :). I would still say it was relatively remote though. The water levels were manageable with a lot of in and out of the canoes and lining, wasn't a great time of year if you were looking to run any rapids and of course the the log jams were still fierce. I thought late August would be tough on the fishing but the lake trout and the pickerel were still biting something fierce and also got on my first brook trout. Great content Alec, looking forward to see where your heading next.

[@MCheekeOutdoors]

I'm looking to put this trip together for spring 2022 .

[@AleconAdventures]

It's a great route, I really enjoyed it. Higher spring water levels will make travel easier on the Nushatogaini river. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@larrygorst8749]

Thank you for sharing both episodes Alec. It was a real blast. Enjoyed very much.

[@AleconAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed them Larry. It was awesome to paddle a new route with my Uncle Doug. Thanks for watching!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Fantastic video(s). I just recently found your channel. Everyone needs an Uncle/Friend/Chef/Angler/Sherpa Doug in their life. You are very blessed to have such a good man in yours. Doug forgot to say “Razzle Dazzle” (Stripes reference) as he spun the paddle over his head lol. I’m also a big fan of Jon and Erin @LostLakes. I’m pretty sure that’s how I found your channel. Now I have to go back and watch your previous videos 👍🏻

[@AleconAdventures]

Awesome to hear Alan! Welcome to the channel. Doug is a great paddling partner and he's the one who got me into backcountry canoe tripping. It was great to get out on a longer trip with him. Thanks for watching!

[@dougmacrae6003]

Razzle Dazzle eh Alan! You got me watching Stripes reruns - amazing. I will incorporate a little Bill Murray next time. Thx, Uncle Doug.

[@NikonF5user]

Can you add links to the other videos you mentioned? Would be fun to check out different videos from the same lake!

[@AleconAdventures]

Hey Russell, thanks for checking out my video! Here is the link to Kevin Callan's video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqarf2ydnK-dpZI Here is the link to Lost Lakes video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZaseGmLa618erc

[@ThePursuitofPassion]

Finally got to part 2! I knew you'd have good water on the Aubinadong after seeing what the Nush was like going up. Wow, the portages have improved a lot since I went many moons ago. Likely much more travelled now than ever. Too bad about the lodge. Nice haul with the fishing! Thanks Alec!

[@AleconAdventures]

I was surprised how clear the portages were along the Aubinadong, definitely more travelled now. Thanks for watching David!

[@bernkondret9981]

Doug, I suffer the same problem with my hands. Solved with nitrile gloves at night with any cream or even Vaseline.

[@AleconAdventures]

That's a good tip! I will pass on that info to Doug. Thanks for commenting!

[@blakearrowsmith7446]

Hey Alec! Awesome video! I look forward to seeing what you get up to this summer!

[@AleconAdventures]

Hey Blake, I haven't been out as much this summer but I'm currently editing a short Algonquin trip I did in August with Paige. I'm looking forward to some fall trips now. Thanks for watching!

[@jacqueline7118]

An awesome route with some great fishing. Sad to see that lodge in such a mess, darn shame. :(. Thanks for sharing. :) :)

[@AleconAdventures]

Hello Jacqueline. It was a lovely route and with some nice old growth forests. That lodge would have been a nice place to stay while in was operational. Thanks for your kind comments and for following my adventures!

[@NatureBound]

Seems like your always catching huge lunkers. Your harse must be sore with that massive horseshoe up there lol

[@AleconAdventures]

hahaha 😂 Somedays I am lucky but I've been skunked my fair share of times! I tend to leave those days off camera.

[@TheOutdoorSeeker]

That fish looks so good on the plate. I need to start fishing!

[@AleconAdventures]

Those fish meals were so good! You should definitely bring a rod on your next canoe trip.

[@scottkennedy6058]

Great videos! What camera do you use

[@AleconAdventures]

Hey Scott, happy to hear you like my videos! I use a Sony A6400, Sigma prime lenses. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@dwrivers47]

Top notch video, wicked fishing success, beautifully captured on film. You should have many more subscribers - and you will soon I foresee, thanks!

[@AleconAdventures]

Much appreciated Derek! We had lots of luck fishing and this beautiful area made recording video easy. Thanks for watching!

[@ianmacrae4963]

Great video Alec (and Doug)! Those background shots of the bush and sky the last day are really something to behold. It was tough going at times but looked like that backcountry was definitely worth exploring. Keep sharing your adventures!

[@AleconAdventures]

It was tough at times but the beauty of this canoe route made up for it. The views from our last campsite were pretty great. Lots of good memories. Thanks for watching Ian!

[@derekgraziano9499]

What time if the year is this ?

[@AleconAdventures]

Hey Derek, this trip was mid-June, 2021 👍

[@derekgraziano9499]

@@AleconAdventures yes I was in the park at the sametime we did Hogan and a bunch of day trips into other lakes . Finally we should be able to go early may this year . Fingers crossed

[@alexs3447]

You guys certainly look like you know what you're doing.

[@AleconAdventures]

Thanks Alex, It was our longest trip together yet and everything went smoothly.
