Spring Algonquin Camp - Better Fishing and a Very Long Portage

On the back-half of last video's trip, Aaron and I continue deeper into the park. We have a little more luck with the brook trout and also complete a monster of a portage to round out an amazing week in Algonquin!

I love the sounds! Water, wind, birds, insects, rain, zippers... all of the camp sounds that we yearn for. Loved it.

Just watching a few of your videos. Man i thought i was nuts in my younger days. Know some lakes in Algonquin a lot easier to get to and better fishing , for speckles usually . No crowds either . ie have to go solo though .

You seem to have some good info on the area, I hope to also some day!

That site at the beginning looks like the one down the stretch of the Tim river. Beautiful spot!

[@wildernesscanuck]

Good guess but incorrect sir ;)

I wish you had said how long that portage took! You got some nice fish - thank goodness!!! For the most part your weather looked great ☀️. Beautiful cinematography. No animals except the frog and the loon? I’ve not seen you use the hanging water catcher before…. Was that bear spray you were checking out?

[@wildernesscanuck]

The portage took us over 6 hours. Had great weather all considered. Frog, Loon and also saw a big moose swim across a channel but it was too far away to get a good shot. Yes, we wanted to test out the bear spray as this canister was expired, it had a bit more juice in it than I expected but it also didn't spray quite as far as I thought it would either!

That was a very long portage lol

[@wildernesscanuck]

Took us just over 6 hours!

Nice trip Guy's!....Some good fishing, I like that Teepee tent and that 5.2 km portage X3 must be a killer.

What are nighttime temps this time of year?

[@wildernesscanuck]

They can hover around 0 degrees plus or minus a few. I think considering how mild this winter was we probably were waking up to 5-10 degree weather all week.

Awesome stuff! I love that section of the Park especially at this time of year. Nothing beats it.
