"compassion is never a bad thing" Words to live by.
True bro 👍
Misplaced compassion is a very bad thing.
Great video. Thank you. I’ve canoed and fished quetico and waters further north a dozen times over the years and I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. I especially appreciate you advocacy for compassion and respect towards the fish and promoting a true catch and release ethic.
Another thing to mention with getting a lure out hooked on yourself is to get it out before the shock wears off and the tissue swells which makes it tougher to get out
Thanks Shawn, interesting point!
Want to thank you for taking time to make this. Deserves so many more views. Especially regarding "compassion". One thing I and many other notice is the genuine "thank you" or similar when either catching to cook or release. You're doing a good thing. :)
I'm in Australia and I'd definitely add a small surface popper.Its a real rush for me getting smashed on the surface.Well done Jon,love your trips.Go Canada.
John, you should do a video on your favorite backcountry meals. Seems like you eat some interesting but delicious looking stuff!!
There is no chance you’ve ever brought only 5 lures. Top water buddy, nothing better than casting top water from camp first thing in the morning when the lake is glass. Recently learnt a tip for knots, carefully burn the last bit and it creates a nice “butt” on the line lessening the chance of it coming loose, plus cleans the knot up.
Thanks for that feedback Anthony!
Hahah no Rob, not even close. Was more of taking the theme of packing light to the extreme. But this year I finally got down to one full sized tray and one half sized. Top water for sure...I've been away from bass too long. Haven't fished bass waters in a solid two years. I fish top water for pike a little but not enough to make it a top 5. Great call on burning the tip. Funny because we just did that with paracord but the thought has never occurred to me for fishing line.
Kinda funny! I remember watching this video before I went away on my French River and Petawawa River trips last summer! thanks for the tips, they came in handy ;p
Hahah good stuff man! The first fish of ten thousand casts is something to look back on... Especially a chunker like that ski
My buddy put a hook into the fatty part of his palm below his thumb. We were very remote in Canada. He pushed the barb up and out of his palm, nipped the barb off with a side cutter he had. He backed it out, put on anti-bacteria jell and a bandaid, and back to fishing. I always carry a small side cutter now. I am also a fan of going barbless. Just keep pressure on em, and it’s no problem. I also carry perch colored patterns. Every fish eats perch. Great video, thanks.
Aghhh.... Exactly, it's ideal to stop the problem at the source. Perch and silvery baitfish are always great choices eh
Great video. Made me think a lot about how I fish and how I can improve my techniques. I dont keep many fish at all. Pinching barbs and removing front hooks is a great idea. Thanks and cheers. Keep up with the great videos
Really appreciate that Rob, makes me glad to hear it :)
Thank you John. Great tips to live by when fishing and canoeing.
Bravo Jon! Excellent intro to paddle-fishing. I don't think I ever heard such a quintessential and important info in one pretty short video. Thank you! I have no idea why people complain on audio, mine is just great.
Thanks so much Gene! It was longer than I hoped, but it was the fastest I could get it all in. Seems like CZcams had an issue initially but it went away.
off topic.. I don't know what took me so long, but I followed your link to Amazon, went to your reads and bought "The stranger in the woods". I haven't heard of it before and expected some kind of Dick Proenneke's story. The book dazzled me.. WOW!!! Thank you so much for sharing, Jon!
Excellent outstanding information I’ve fished all my life an iam 62 an you taught me something keep up what you are doing you both are awesome 👍
Thanks so much Dennis!!
Incredibly refreshing content and I quite enjoy the detail you cover.
Much appreciated Mike!!
Just wanna say you are such a nice guy. Love your respect for the nature and the fish.
Really appreciate that Chris!!
Yes, very helpful, and I have to watch this again, for the details, cheers!
Jon, I'm getting into fishing late in life, really late. I'm doing my fishing from a 12' Old Town Canoe. Your videos are invaluable, especially this one. Right now I'm fishing. I hope to graduate to catching before long. Thanks
Love to hear that, thank you :)
Such a wealth of great backcountry fishing know-how here. Will be watching this one again for sure. Thanks guys for doing this super-practical and info packed vid. Cheers!
Much appreciated NWR!!
Jon knows his stuff. Excellent role model for any aspiring outdoor enthusiast.
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I immediately subscribed. Thank you for taking the time to include the ethical dispatching and handling of fish in this video.
I have been canoeing quite a bit in the Adirondacks with my 3 year old, and am slowly introducing fishing to him and reintroducing myself (although I’ve never really given it a good try). Your video gave me exactly what info I needed to determine and prioritize what gear to purchase and in what order to do so.
Thanks for the great video!
Yes, first, very helpful, finally got around to watching this in more detail, my kit is near complete, and now I have to pull it all together and coordinate it.
And yes, I have a rubber-like basket-shaped net, and, the how-to approach to lakes, I am sure that will make a difference.
And thanks,,,
Glad to hear it Malcolm!
Thanks. Very informative and well paced. I'm going to the BWCAW and will be fishing for again for the first time in decades and appreciate the tips and strategies. A lot has changed since I last fished as a kid, i.e bathymetry and rubber nets, braided line etc. which I will take advantage of.
Much appreciated. Hope you have a great trip
Very informative and ... dare I say it... entertaining. Thanks, Jon.
Thank you Kate!
Perfect timing for this video! Going to Algonquin backcountry in two weeks. Started pinching my barbs after seeing it stuck in your leg. Thanks man, another great video!
Right on WW! And thanks!!
I just returned from a backcountry trip fishing for trout in the boundary waters! As you point out at the start, trolling caught almost half of my fish. Excellent videos, keep ‘em coming!
Bingo! Thanks TB!
Thanks for this. Very comprehensive and full of small but useful details.
Thanks Andrew! Glad to hear that!
Good job, well organized, you have a wealth of material that you can pull form!
Thanks a lot Kevin!
Seriously. This is the best video! I took notes and will show it to my son so we can keep learning together. Thanks Jon.
Aw that's awesome!!! Thanks so much Terral!!
Thank you for this. And special thanks for the words on compassion. ♥️
Thanks Andrea 🙂🙂
Thank you, I just learned so much!
Thanks! That was a great video. I learned a few things for next time. Cheers!
Hello friendly neighbor to the north. I came across a principle for accelerating learning a few years back called "modeling." It's basically common-sense but it is quite a powerful method if used consciously. Essentially modeling is carefully copying someone's approach who is getting the results you are seeking yourself. So instead of trying to glean information from multiple sources and make your own mistakes you shamelessly imitate someone else's success and then make small personal adjustments after gaining experience with their strategies and techniques. Just wanted to let you know that I will be creepily stalking your YT channel for the next few weeks as I take on fishing as a new hobby and forming myself into a second-rate version of yourself as an angler. I made this decision because you seem to have a similar mindset to mine: using a canoe instead of a kayak (cheaper, more effective, simpler, proven); fishing as a part of backcountry exploring and camping as opposed to the primary focus; embracing the effectiveness of trolling (why is this not discussed more by kayakers/canoe fishermen) and finally the wisdom of pinching barbs. I have a three-year old son who will eventually be fishing with me and his safety is obviously #1. Plus I think barbs are a bit cruel for the fish.
Anyway, just wanted you to know that there is an American out there who doesn't feel that all Canadians are garbage people!
Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 😜 Thanks Adam, definitely a good call to pinch the barbs, with your young son especially
Amazing content, clear, detailed, and compassionate. You've earned yourself a new subscriber; keep the good content coming!
Really appreciate that!!!
I was hoping I’d find something like this on your channel. Great work👍
Can’t believe I’ve skipped over this video for so long. Great and very informative video!! Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot KL!
Great video. Lots of valuable information and promotes good sportsmanship 👍
Thanks Paul!
Another great video Jon, I agree with you on pretty much everything. I, myself, try never to net a fish I'm not going to keep, it does such terrible things to their fins. Also, I've replaced pretty much every treble hook with Owner hooks, because you can get them with a micro barb, plus they're very sharp and they don't rust anywhere nearly as bad as those old bronze hooks, and they're easy to pull out. I also keep my body baits to one treble, but I keep the treble at either the front, on a two treble lure, or in the middle, on a three treble lure. With that set up, you won't hook fish outside the mouth, as you can when a fish hits the lure at the head end, and that rear treble ends up snagging them on the head or gill plate etc. One real advantage to that set up, is that a fish that hits the back end of a plug that has no hook, will very often try and grab the lure again near the front end. They're not letting it go a second time! Found it very interesting that you've also used satellite info and Fish On-line to generate the same info that I have! I often use Google earth, using the data from 2006, as that was an extremely low water year, and the shoals and weed lines are clearer. Cheers, and thanks, this was informative.
amazing video , many thanks, so what's your thoughts on the Shakespear dock runner rod for a canoe, its medium 36 inch rod which is short and very manageable for a canoe
Also, love the humility. You stand out.
Thanks a lot Steve :)
I will be crushing those barbs.
BW expo is in my back yard practically! Super cool to see this even if it’s virtual. Maybe in-person next year!
Right on! Hopefully there's a vaccine by then 😐
Excellent vid. Very well done.
I need this level of instruction and more!!
😁
You've definatley taught me something. Up until right now I have aways kind of rolled my eyes at people squishing their barbs. For some reason I thought it was just silly.
I think you're 100% correct. If not for the safety of the people around you. It's about respecting the fish and the land around you.
Keep doing what you're doing man 😀.
Love to hear that 🙂🙂
Thanks for this, very informative! Going on my first week-long solo trip next month in Sweden and looking to improve my fishing experience. Cheers for the video
Right on, good luck out there Jesper...and thanks!!
I can't wait for this!
I luv your vids.not sure if you heard bout mystery tackle box but I get 1 a month and because I fish all species of fish I change it monthly.never been to Canada but you decide to offer guided tours you'd be my first choice.ty for sharing your views of life.much appreciated.
Good to see someone showing respect and caring about a living thing that actually feels pain and stress. The audio was fine on my phone.
Thanks a lot John. Sounds like YT had an issue initially but it got worked out
HOLY MACKEREL JON! The information in this video is gold! Very very good information and tips. I am far from a beginner and I learned a lot. Just the tip on paddling technique when trolling...the zig zag...it makes so much sense but I never figured that out! I love how you present information without a lot of ego getting in the way. You're obviously really knowledgeable but you're not a show-off.
Crushing barbs is a really good thing. I have been doing it in saltwater for years and I'm going to start doing it in FW as well. Especially in the wilderness. Having a hook impaled in you is potentially a trip-breaker. The idea of "pushing through" a 3/0 hook is ridiculous, I think people imagine that flesh is like a fish filet. It is not. It's dense. And the tension/resistance of skin is really significant. The pain levels are high. the chance for infection is significant. (another reason to carry a GOOD first aid kit and keep it maintained) The info on pre-trip recon was really good.
Lastly, your extensive discussion of the tools, techniques and ethos of catch & release is just really great to hear. Thanks for spreading the word and being an advocate.
This is the ONE video to have a beginner and intermediate fisher watch.
Thanks for this video. I'm coming back to fishing after 20 years at the request of my 6 year old. I instinctively pinched the barbs when we went to our local trout pond, but it was good to know I was doing the right thing. We're now all set for 8 days canoeing and fishing with the family in northern Saskatchewan.
Right on Jim...an excellent choice with a 6yo!
@@LostLakes We landed a few pike, including one that had a go at our water filter coil before being caught by myself and then my son all in about 10 minutes. Thanks for all these videos.
@@cljim22 hahah that's awesome
Very nice Jon...I agree about treating all animals with the same respect we would want.
well done. Some great information...Thank you..Paul
Much appreciated Paul :)
Love your compassion for the wildlife. I have fished with many men who keep everything and have no remorse or conservation in mind. I prefer to fish alone with my boys now. I agree with all of your information, ideas and mindset. Keep spreading the good word!!
Very much appreciated Will!
@@LostLakes anytime my friend. Our generation will make huge strides in conservation!
Love your fishing videos! (and video editing) Enjoyed watching it. Just subbed!
Thanks a lot Fish Tails!!
i gut hooked an epic small mouth on my first day on a maine trip and forgot my plyers. eventually got it out but basically murdered the fish slowly frantically trying to get out the hook and it darn near ruined my day. im still talking about it 4 years later.....im almost sure it didnt survive as it very slowly swam off. i now have about 4 pairs of plyers on me at all times. dont learn the hard way fellow anglers, be prepared like the man says! and barbless Siwash hooks are the way to go! not only better for getting the hook out of you or a fish, but i get WAY less snags and when i do get snagged i stand a chance of getting it UNSNAGGED. love the content man keep it coming.
one area i disagree, ONE ROD?! if you dont piss ur GF off for a good 15 minutes getting all 3-4 rods safely into the canoe, you are really missing out!
I’m sure many have taken good lessons from this video. Well done Jon👍
Much appreciated Marc!
Excellent trolling tips. I just started canoeing, and have focused so much on the fundamentals of corrective stroke paddling that I never thought to paddle on both sides to change the speed and depth of the presentations.
I'm going to give this a shot this weekend to see if I can get on any of these kokanee that are rumored to be in this lake near me.
Thanks Lrrr! Best of luck this weekend and say hi to Ndnd for me 😜
This is just the video I needed. Doing my first solo in the BWCA next week. Just got a rod holder after watching you use one in your videos. Hoping to target lakers for a day or two before going after the grand slam. Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks Christian!
great video lost lakes! I once had a tiny pike jump quickly on me a few years back he ended up getting a treble into my hand whule he was also still hooked.. It terrified me ofcourse as the fish only made it go deeper. But from what I recall, it was barbless.. ALWAYS ALWAYS make your hooks barbless and as he mentioned, if you are keeping fish, be aware of the risk of keeping unbarbed in the back country as mistakes happen no matter how cautious you are.
Ive been looking for a rod and reel combo and was aaaaaalmost settled on the Supreme with an Ugly Stik Elite. I think this will be the combo I go with.
Good one Jon. Pretty much covers it!
Thanks Bern!
I sure could have used you back in my teenage years. But, that was long before the Internet.
Been fishing for two years and learned more in this vid than everything else I’ve watched or read combined.
Love to hear that! Thanks Matthew!
Hey Man, Appreciate the Videos. In the case of getting "hooked." Another technique i learned in B.C from Salmon fishing when i was a kid. Depending on how and where you are hooked. sometimes its less painful to cut the eye off the hook end and continue to push the hook through past the barb and slide out. Another technique learned from a doctor... if you are hooked in a thinner part of your hand ... you can feed a fishing line through the hole in your hand, and pull up on the line to create the opening to get the barb back through... both minimal pain compared to ripping the barb backwards... and doable in the backcountry. Cheers bud!
Great ideas, thanks Alex!!
Outstanding
Hey Jon been awhile since I've been able 2 check out your videos . Enjoyed the hook segment. This is coming from a person that has had 1 stuck in stomach, head , arm throughout the years. 😆 Great editorial. Thanks for sharing. Take care. 👍👍🎣🎣 I chose the cut eye off the hook and push it through method.
Hey David, oh man! You're like a war veteran. I guess they were all single hooks if you could push them through...good that they weren't trebles!
great video alot of great tips i prefer to fish in a canoe myself it so quiet an peaceful first time paddling i was hooked :) cheers from hawk junction northern ontario !
The line trick works really good for getting books out of people and animals
Excellent rigging tips. Wish I had to worry about hooking 10lb northerns. I made an anchor out of the mesh bag that holds my Sawyer squeeze by throwing a large rock in it and clipping it to my 25' bow line, kept my canoe in place while fishing chironomids to rainbows in the wind at Cliff Lake. Thanks again
Thanks Steve! Great call...boat control can be so tough in the canoe if it's windy. Staying on the spot is huge
Great fishing tips Jon! This makes me want to get back into fishing. :)
Thanks Vee!!
This was very informative. Thanks
Thanks a lot Matt :)
Good, I need tips. I got skunked. Stayed east. Glad I did, y’all got some weather over there.
Lengthy...but comprehensive video. Bought a pop up camper this year....canoe on the list for next year. Trying to pick up some canoe fishing tips. Thank you.
Right on, thanks Martin! Hope you can find yourself a canoe :)
Hey John - looking to do some fishing on Lake Ontario (off of Amherst Island) from a canoe. I'm new to fishing but experienced in canoes. Do you have any specific advice for what I should focus on or do differently for fishing in Lake Ontario? Thanks! (I don't plan on paddling out too far from land, mostly want to find shelves closer to shore and fish those).
As a beginner would you use that same line setup on a bait caster reel?
Which rod mount do you have? I got a Scotty 449 which is alright but yours looks lighter and more versatile.
Good mix of info. Learned a number of things. I would have liked a bit more details on some of the subjects, like the rod holder, and the apps, but I get why you had to keep things moving. Once again, great job. Love your videos. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Waveyak!
I’d add a tube jig to your Kure list. Not really for trolling but great for jigging and for tossing around cover.
Excellent advice, especially the humane aspects of it. I’ve been fishing for over sixty years, and got a hook embedded in my finger while fishing with my son just recently. It was extremely unpleasant and never fished again without pinching my barbs and/or removing the front hook completely. I just bought a Wenonah canoe and looking forward to my first overnight trip at 72 years old. Blessings, Scott
Thanks very much Scott. It's pretty awful and definitely makes you empathize more with fish. Overall, I'm glad it happened to me. That's wonderful...hope you have a fantastic canoe trip!
just did my first algonquin solo trip into rock lake, and saw 2 coywolfs and young bald eagle and a big bull moose on my way in. thought it was going to be an epic trip till the the black flies got to me lol never go in june. and no northern lights but some loons singing in the night was nice
Hahah yeah they take some getting used to. The right clothes (and maybe a bug shirt) help a ton though. Tough to catch the lights in the summer with all the daylight. There's been barely ANY solar activity for the last couple of months too. I check the forecast all the time and it's constantly low.
GREAT ATTITUDE Bruh, LOVE YOUR EMPATHY🙏🙏
@22:32 I find a good Arbor knot will not slip. But you can always put one layer of electrical or two-sided tape around the spool, and then spool your braid onto it (starting with an Arbor knot)
I have had 2 Fishhook-in-finger incidents over the years. Only one was on a back country river trip and the other was close enough to a hospital to have an ER visit. Interestingly enough, the ER Dr. used the Loop-and-line method to remove the hook from my friends hand. When he yanked the hook out, he yanked so hard and fast that it flew across the room and hit the wall. Some finger meat came out with the hook - he pushed the finger meat back in and sent us on our way.
Nice video! Why do you remove your front hooks on your crank baits? Thanks!
Thanks Justin :) For catch and release. There are way too many hooks on most lures out of the box. 3 barbed treble hooks (9 hooks total) is crazy. Worst of all, if they take the back hooks, the fore hooks are dragging across their face during the fight and liable to catch them in the eye. I inflicted that on too many fish and truly hate it
Hey John, how much backing do you use and also how much braided line?
Love your videos so much. Grew up camping and fishing on White Lake in Ontario, and always made it out to Marathon every trip. I live in southern Michigan, I can’t believe someone makes videos so specific to my passions! Thanks.
Hahah thanks a lot Marshal! I just use enough backing to cover the spool fully from top to bottom (or maybe slightly more if it's a large reel), because I don't want that knot getting casted out every time. It's a nuisance because the knot will clip the guides and inhibit it a little. Then I fill the rest of the spool with braid, plus the fluoro leader on the end
Thank you! Great video! And your other videos are just like therapy for me in Australia, under ongoing lockdown.
I have question - how would you place your rod when using two sided pedal?
Thanks sydorov! Sorry to hear that you're locked up :( I feel your pain. I push the rod holder up farther when using a double blade paddle. It makes it harder to reach, but it's necessary. I did a more detailed video on that subject recently if it helps:
czcams.com/video/fFri02EMoa8/video.html
@@LostLakes Thank you again! I will try to move the holder forward and see how it would go.
Now... back to therapeutic videos on your channel!
Thank you
Great video! Tight lines =)
great stuff!
Thanks Mark!
What size reel for the Pflueger President works for you? This size refers to line capacity right?
Yeah capacity and the maximum drag it's capable of. I have a 25 and a 35. 25 is a fairly standard size and will probably be good for you
Hey. Great video and tips! I'm heading to Big Porcupine Lake in Algonquin in a couple days for father's day. I was thinking of using a 3 way swivel (2 ounce weight + 1/4oz spoon) and 20 ft deep. Do you think that's a good idea? Any further tips will be much appreciated. I've gone multiple times and I've always been skunked. Thanks.
Thanks M C! Definitely a good idea. If you want to simplify, you can even add 2oz onto a snap, and then add a jig and plastic minnow on the snap. Gets deep without getting tangled like a 3-way can
Just curious….i have watched several of your videos of your long canoe trips with all the portages and I am wondering if you carry any type of protection against grizzlies etc.?
I’ve never heard you mention that potential danger so I was just curious.
Ya I carry bear spray outside of winter, usually holstered on my belt. But only black bears where I camp, no grizzlies, and polar bears are 500km north
Me, doesn’t like to fish, has never been in or seen a canoe in person, isn’t interested in fishing, hasn’t ever been on a back country trip, but still watches the video
Hahaha appreciate it Paige!
Jon, awesome all encompassing video, you covered many key pointers for me . I find snags have the ability to diminish my fun !
Thanks a lot Antony! I know the feeling, before I had a canoe, it was a real buzzkill for shore fishing
@@LostLakes yes, someone stold my custom solo from the backyard a few years back. Haven't been able to replace it $ yet. Now this year gouged prices. They can't stop me....I'm going no matter what.
Your videos stop me from going mad in this suburban scrawl. Much appreciated.
@@antonylund241 that's heartbreaking 😔 but good on you for soldiering on. Appreciate you joining!
What poundage for the braided line?
Do you measure the water temp and specific depths to match the fish you are angling for? Really good over view, I will practice many of your points in the future. I noticed some comments on volume, either you fixed it or its fine, I had no problem with the volume.
Thanks DPS! Sounds like YT had an issue but it resolved itself. That can be a very good move, but I don't bring the tech to do it on trips. A sensitive sonar unit can pick up the thermocline (looks like noise) but I don't bring my sonar anymore either
Good informational vid. I’m a fly fisherman and if you’d ever take my advice and give it a try you would be hooked. I know you will transition someday. Looking forward to your next adventure and some good shoreline cooking. Be safe in your adventures!
Hahah someday John :) Thank you!
18:21 I always have a Cotton Cordell silver and black, pink highlights. Medium size. It’s fat rap shaped with a rattle.
Great pick, can't go wrong with that!
Great information thanks don’t forget to wet those gloves before handing fish . Cheers 🇨🇦👍 oh yea wearing safety glasses before pinching barbs they can really fly around. I know from experience.
Eek! Good call!
Good info. I like barbless too. And trolling with a good rod mount. One thing I haven’t figured out though, is paddling speed. I think I’m probably paddling too fast (3-4 mph) when just moving point to point, for effective trolling. I’m thinking lure action is typically best at 2 mph. How do you manage speeds while trolling?
Great point, if you're travelling at full speed, I guess it's usually too fast, but it still works sometimes. Part of the trick is to make sure your lure can tolerate that speed without floundering around and ruining the action. Some packaging will indicate this, but you can also hang it off the boat and see how it performs at full speed. If I'm just paddling to fish, I'll definitely slow down though
@@LostLakes Perfect. I’ll play around with it. It does seem like crank baits, deeper diving crank baits, are the things causing me to ask this question. I’m not exactly sure how they behave at 3 mph but it doesn’t seem optimal. Experiments commence!
Thanks! BTW, if you add “Intro: 0:00” at the beginning of your table of contents then CZcams will learn that the subsequent time stamps are different topics and it will add chapters to your video that automatically appear with labels as the viewer scrubs through the timeline. Cheers!
My friend, that is absolutely SLICK! Thanks for the intel!!!
Thanks for putting all of your fishing knowledge in one video Jon. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people & a lot of fish, hopefully.
I'd definitely add a spinner bait to your perfect list Jon, but that would make it 6 lol
Sorry to hear that nasty cough Erin. Maybe you should stop smoking, or start smoking LOL
😂😂 Hahah I was obsessed with the spinner bait for a year or two, and now never use it....it's funny. Thanks Pete!
My favorite part of this video is when you said to show compassion to the animals. I preach that myself all the time. Sometimes I am disgusted by the way people treat fish and other animals. I have no problems with hunting and fishing them, but at least show them some respect.
Nice video! About the canoe though…..
