Solo Spring Fishing Canoe Trip | borysintheforest

Got here fried pancakes and then uh yes it's still raining holy ---- rolling but here widen yo hey it's for us 2022 first spring fishing middle of may what a beautiful day it's in the dirt road that we're on see you on the water hi guys so i made it six hour drive from toronto to one of my favorite places in ontario that's close to toronto lots of favorite places not close six hours is close i figure anything that takes you less a day than to get there is close right last year guava kimmy took almost two days to get anyway uh may 13th 31 degrees celsius way up north it's crazy we're five degrees hotter up here than there is in toronto the water's still pretty cold hopefully the trout don't scoop through this heat wave in this heat that trout won't keep right great what a beautiful day pretty impressed for the weekend before may 24 weekend pretty awesome deep lane so we're on mystery lake somewhere up north looking for trout a little windy this is a big lake so i'm kind of hugging the shoreline to make it easier been at it for about an hour and a half now i'm almost halfway there i think anyway beautiful day the bugs are starting to come out i'm gonna go a little further and i think we'll stop for a little break here soon well we made it out of the big lake took a little break on an island because we had to and we continue on paddling into the heat i'm drinking a lot of water because it's hot it's got to be a record up here or at least close to it i mean may 13th 31 degrees feels like 37 thank goodness there's a breeze it'd be nice if it was breezing that way instead of this way yeah the water level's up for sure a couple of feet what i would see it at the end of june or beginning of july yeah i've been here many times depending on the year brook lake trout mollies walleye fish catfish no problem well it's uh around mid-afternoon and uh with any luck i'll get to my campsite by six which will give me plenty of time sunset somewhere around 8 30 i think something like that maybe closer than nine i didn't look lots of time to set up camp get some wood put up the tarp get out of the heat especially for tomorrow because it's going to be a repeat of today calling for some a front to come through either saturday or sunday not much rain but it'll cool down a little bit we shall see all right back to the task at hand gopro stop recording going upstream it is hot i probably haven't mentioned that yet okay well we made it to my lake it's getting late in the day so it's taking me longer to get here than i anticipated and it's been a long day so i want to set up camp and make sure i'm good to go rather than doing it tired and trying to fish first well i checked out the island but uh yeah firewood's a problem not that i need heat but if the weather changes it's pretty exposed nice view for the sunset but i'm going to check out a couple other spots first it's got to be past six o'clock almost there oh boy all right that's good that's going to be really good dropping the camera hi i am whacked i'm tired six hours sleep up at five excuse me away at seven got there at one got here at six a little after seven gotta eat something i'm hungry i'm tired so i'm gonna make myself something from big old chili where's the other jack links that i just had hello beautiful big full moon 9 p.m friday the 13th at camp pen set up canoe tied up made a little fire get rid of the skaters it's not too bad they're small they're trying they're not a nuisance at the moment so yeah uh made myself some chili uh was too tired just didn't go fishing i'm here for a few days so up and at them tomorrow morning today is more of a travel day you try to get everything in in one day and you know what happens you don't fit it all in is what happens and then you're tired and then you're telling everybody you're tired so i'm gonna go to sleep good night see you in the morning good morning what a restful night nice sleep as you can see it's uh bright and sunny this morning slept great it's uh around 7 30 no wind heat's coming sun's blaring i'm on my first coffee thinking about pancakes for breakfast putting up this tarp i bought this last year this eureka trail tarp 14 it's fantastic works great the bugs are flying around and i don't know what they are they don't land so they're like gnats or baby mosquitoes because every once in a while there's a bigger one but he's afraid to land it's really weird there's a whole bunch of little ones a couple of big ones and they're uh either not hungry or basically they're screwed up on this time of the year just like everything else may 14th today hotter than hades i have a tear in my tarp oh no well that only took i don't know how long to get out of the sun pancakes pancakes with cranberries well sometime late morning on the water a few clouds rolling in the black flies have hatched i confirm let's check out a couple of things on the lake while i do some trolling la waterfall nice eh i wonder if there's any fishies here we're gonna find out well the wind picked up had a little snack i think we're gonna go get some wood not that we need it now but you never know i saw a birch that's dead over here let's take a look nice hard burning wood birch that's a lot of work a tree down okay take a break and then uh bring it up to camp for processing well i took a nap for a couple hours was very refreshing i woke up to raindrops let's take a look oh a little bit of darkness over there clear sky coming apparently no we're gonna get some rain for sure rain yay no yes it's still raining the wind got brutal i did everything to hold this tarp together that's a pretty strong gust there for a while there's the story so not much to do but we're done all the dry stuff for now and watch it rain well there's the day now seven and it shall continue till the early wee hours of the morning apparently it's not going to stop until around eight nine o'clock tomorrow morning which just thrills and excites me because there's nothing more that i would rather do than be stuck here in a lot of wind with thunderstorms where i can't go on the water i can't get warm with a fire it's pouring rain at least i can sit here and enjoy that and tell you about it okay we got like 25 000 views but look at the subscribers 95 percent are not subscribed you keep coming back and watching but you haven't

now and as you can hear and probably see so that means tomorrow is going to be a great day and monday morning when i leave and this is what the price we've had for that great day that's the way to look at it so i didn't feel like cooking anything for dinner i didn't know how long this rain would be so i got hungry i had two huge pancakes left so i got out the old jiffy squeezable peanut butter tube made myself a double cup of tea a little bit of whiskey so i go to sleep for a couple hours to take a nap so i can stay up late today and go fishing you know at sunset and after and stuff and of course as soon as i get up from my nap it starts raining and here we are mother nature has a way of messing with your plans so be prepared for that okay enough whining it's still raining in the tent definitely in the tent and uh good night good morning in the tent 6 30 time to get up and see what's going on in the day i hear thunder in the background a good update to follow good morning coffee time coffee brewing smells good well we've got some fog it's really strange it's early in the year with the water being so cold ah good morning trying to wake up here coffee time coffee time too hot pancakes with cranberries for breakfast yum great pancakes made a double batch for this morning and for tomorrow morning with my coffee quick pack quick breakfast get on the water going home five o'clock no dilly dally tomorrow so i'm going to prepare tonight put everything away you know minimum packing and cooking and fuddling around in the morning because it's going to take me five six hours to get back to the car then unpack load up and six hours home well we're going on a little portage here over to another lake see if we get any luck there it's about 11 o'clock sun's out for sure now supposed to reach 26 today after that cool down with all the rain last night watch them slippery rocks so uh hooked into a fish right away but out of season unfortunately look at the size of that fatty holy ---- he's got to be five six pounds hey nice smallie there you go buddy another one that's what cap looks like two in the afternoon the wind has picked up it's not so hot we've got the wind very very comfortable gopro power off gopro turn off gopro turn off gopro power off gopro turn off gopro power off gopro turn off gopro power off gopro now listen ah there's a seat right in this rock right in front of the water very nice with an armrest yeah cup of tea cup of tea it's very pleasant out here just to sit and do nothing just so beautiful no horns from cars the birds wind in the trees the waves lapping on the rocks on the shore the odd splash from the loon fishing or fish jumping and your own voice crackle of the fire sound of the paddle in the water quiet rustle of a chipmunk and yes occasionally sounds of a noise of another canoe and the voices within can't have everything good show then jolly good hmm fire is slightly dying in the tent for sure in the tent so nine o'clock up at five see you in the morning good night sleep tight good morning and we're off 7 a.m the clock says seven okay up at around 5 15 seven took me longer to get going than i thought still breakfast packing up tearing down and away we go cloudy day barely any blue peeking out 12 degrees it's not bad don't need a jacket rolling down the lazy river yeah well there's a little swift there fast running water tried a few casts nothing there you can see what kind of day it is nothing changed it's now 11 o'clock still paddling so that's four hours with only about what a half an hour 40 minutes for the double carry this time and i've got another half an hour i figure this is a big lake but nice and gentle today right out here widen the open and it started to rain or maybe it's just a drizzle passing drizzle let's call it that shall we i just realized after two years that as i could talk to the gopro and turn it on and off and get it to stop recording and start recording and everything i can also tell it to take a picture i've never had a picture of myself in a canoe and the gopro can do it for me selfie two years before i knew that at least now i know here we are we have made it packed up ready to go h2o tied down all right okay on our way
