  • Today I’m out to do some fishing in the beautiful gin-clear waters of Grand Lake Stream, Maine (GLS)! Although, I didn't have much luck today. I still made the most of the day by taking the Ruffed grouse that I got yesterday : (Here a link if you want to see how I got this grouse : • Hunting the Remote Mai... ) and making a unique dish in the back of my truck, to lift my spirits, and get me ready for the next day of fishing! Enjoy!

    I went on a canoe trip in northern Ontario with a guy who carried 2 cutting boards, He was picky, one for fish, one for vegs. (I use a beavertail paddle as my cutting board) I wish I thought about telling him to use both sides of one board, save some weight. Good video, nice eats

    The cranberries are just naturally tart. If you caramelize an onion before you do the mushroom cranberry mixture the sugars from the onion may cut the tartness some.
    It would be cool to forage some mushrooms if it weren't such risky business.
    Great video as always. The grouse looked delicious and the scenery is hard to beat.

    Nice video........ Here is an idea for a camping meal in the fall in Maine. Scandinavian fruit soup; various wild berries you can collect in late Summer//Fall, cooked with water, honey [ or sugar] and thickened some with whole wheat pastry flour. It cooks up quickly and is very tasty.......

    As always, great video. Glad you were able to experience GLS. I have never fished it in the fall. If you use the same technique in the spring, you should have some decent luck. The Micky Fin is a great fly for up there. I think I would have used a Stonefly as a dropper maybe. In the spring make sure you watch for the dam release.

    Nice video. I wish I was that motivated to cook like that out there. Just bagged my limit of birds up by Gulf Hagas this weekend. Tons of birds everywhere in Maine this year. Very good editing and presentation. Just an FYI though: Maine rivers, streams and brooks are closed to fishing come September 30 in both the North and South zones.

    • @MainelyOutDoors
      @MainelyOutDoors  Před 3 lety +1

      Nice I’m headed out tomorrow! Well a lot of people think that but there are plenty of rivers open past the 30th including some open year around. Such as the East and west outlet. GLS is open until October 25 I think this year

      @@MainelyOutDoors, ahh I see. I had to look it up. Never knew GLS has a special extended season. Just looking out for you.
      Good luck tomorrow. The birds are plentiful this year. The lack of rain made for an optimal nesting season this year. Last year I only got one after four trips so this year is a good surprise. I had a late start this past Saturday. Missed four right off (2 spooked and 2 I just shot at terribly). Shot four in 35 mins a couple of hours later. I saw the first one I bagged. Drove down the road at 3mph after. I heard the next two, rustling in the leaves, before I saw them. The fourth one I almost ran over with the truck. I've got four in the fridge so I might have to try that cranberry, mushroom and rice dish you made. I bet the bitter cranberry would be great paired with the grouse topped with a little gravy. I think it will beat my pan fried bird with a can of mushroom soup dumped in it. Haha. Thanks again for the content!
