Backcountry Trout Fishing in Algonquin Park & Wild Catch and Cook with My Self Reliance

#wildtrout #wildernesstravel #algonquinpark @Shawn James of @My Self Reliance and I head out for some Backcountry Trout Fishing in Algonquin Park & Wild Catch and Cook. We had our work cut out for us when we decided to enter the Algonquin Park backcountry and then paddle and portage all the way back in one day. We were chasing after the elusive Brook Trout. We also had a surprise catch and both landed white fish. A bushcraft style catch and cook made for a delicious lunch and Shawn brought a wild turkey leg from a bird that he had harvested in the days prior. The food was delicious and the day was nearly perfect but we couldn't stay in the backcountry for long as we needed to paddle quite a distance back to the roads where we left our vehicles. All in, it was an amazing trip with 4 trout landed, 2 white fish, multiple smallmouth bass, which we quickly released because they were out of season, and several suckers as well, which we saw spawning in the shallows, a very interesting and welcome site. Additionally, we saw a great blue heron rookery on an island with many seagull nests in the area as well. It felt perfect and pristine in the Algonquin backcountry this day and this was likely because the travel restrictions into the park that had been put into place during the COVID-19 outbreak had reduced human activity and has made the animals less wary and the fish more plentiful. As bad as the COVID outbreak has been, I feel blessed to have witnessed the Algonquin Backcountry in such a state.
