Ep 7 - Polar Bears, Beavers & Bass Oh My!!! | Planes, Family & Fishing (Season 2 Ep 7)

Polar bears, beavers, bass fishing — and even a riding lawnmower in a floatplane. In Season 2, Episode 7, outfitter Joel Theriault of Air Ivanhoe takes his son Matteo along with friends Miguel and Elijah on what starts as a routine plane maintenance trip to Cochrane, Ontario — and quickly turns into an unforgettable northern adventure. The journey north includes some truly unexpected cargo, as the crew flies a riding lawnmower into the bush, showcasing the unique and sometimes unbelievable realities of bush flying. Once in Cochrane, the group dives into northern history and culture, visiting the polar bear museum, the iconic Tim Hortons Museum, and the largest vintage snowmobile collection in Northern Ontario. After the maintenance work is complete, the adventure isn’t over. Joel, Elijah, and Miguel lift off once again, heading into a remote wilderness lake to get the camp ready for upcoming guests. As a well-earned bonus, they’re greeted with fantastic bass fishing, turning a work trip into the perfect mix of responsibility, exploration, and fun. From father-and-son memories to aviation, northern wildlife, classic roadside stops, and untouched fishing waters, this episode captures the true spirit of life and work in Northern Ontario — where even maintenance trips turn into stories worth telling. 👇 Drop a comment and let us know: Would you rather see polar bears… or catch bass at a fly-in lake? #FlyInFishing #NorthernOntario #BassFishing #BushFlying #FloatplaneLife #AviationLife #FamilyAdventure #FatherAndSon #OutdoorFamily #FishingCanada #CanadianWilderness #OutpostCamp #LifeInTheBush #PolarBears #CochraneOntario #TimHortonsMuseum #SnowmobileHistory #VintageSnowmobiles #WildernessFishing #RemoteFishing #FishingAdventure #OutdoorLifestyle #FishingShow #FlyInCamp #RealOutdoorLife
