1:13
on last week's program Ange Pete and I
1:16
set out on one of the most amazing trout
1:18
fishing adventures we'd ever been on our
1:20
main quarry was coaster brook trout but
1:23
as you'll see in this episode we were
1:25
gained for just about anything as you
1:27
may recall from last week we met Gary
1:29
Lang of Bowman Island charters in the
1:31
Nipigon harbour and then set out on the
1:33
long voyage to Bowman Island Lodge the
1:36
beauty of this trip is the availability
1:38
of great fishing on the trek all the way
1:40
out there Pete and I started things off
1:43
by fishing a small incoming Creek that
1:45
dumps into the Nipigon River we were
1:48
hoping for brookey's but were pleasantly
1:50
surprised with what we encounter
1:57
[Laughter]
2:10
as a rainbow of chunky one and take a
2:14
real solid
2:17
good money
2:18
well they I look at the mark on that
2:20

2:22
right look of it turn around on us easy
2:24

2:26
there it is right there turn it yet to
2:28
turn from the camera that's uh Wow
2:30

2:32
that's not going to kill like that it
2:35
heal over and that fish would be yeah
2:36
you know how long ago that was exactly
2:39
yeah I think lampreys are part of life
2:41
for these fish in this area yeah it
2:43
looks like it doesn't know you all see
2:45
what kind of messing me to my hook by
2:47
the way whoa like that that's a strong
2:49
fish are they strong Wow Wow ain't no
2:56
bottle
2:58
what a sieve I said you gotta feel hey
3:02
that's a male that's a male he came up
3:05
four feet I have not seen that in a long
3:07
time mister you almost jumped through
3:10
the boat yeah that's a big buck he's got
3:14
a real big pipe on him
3:15
[Music]
3:21
oh that's that's a nice fish you come
3:24
back this taste of us jumped out of the
3:26

3:38

3:41
no one's just a perfect perfect male cat
3:44
don't tangle up buddy don't twist on us
3:56
developing yep yeah he's got full
3:58
capelin you're developing tiger at least
4:00
I should pop right out that players
4:05
right beside you if you need him good
4:06
stuff
4:07
let me see your belly look at that my
4:12
god snow there's a rainbow trout right
4:14
there steelhead beautiful gorgeous fish
4:20
yeah look at that that's what caught
4:24
that fish traditionally a walleye jig at
4:27
I mean I see traditionally I almost
4:29
predominantly yeah but daily associate
4:32
with a walleye fishing yeah after a
4:34
great warm-up on the steelhead we tied
4:35
the fringe craft back up to the Anna
4:37
Kelly had a coffee read over the
4:39
hydrographic charts and steamed on to
4:40
the next location this may be the most
4:42
unique style of running gun fishing that
4:44
we've ever done
4:45
although the running slow the gun is
4:47
rapid-fire you were saying earlier on
4:50
that as a kid you spend
4:53
countless hours I come out every weekend
4:55
so you've come from up here yeah all the
4:57
way down through yeah Tabo and I'm down
5:00
and then a lot of times in the park dead
5:02
referee with a half cup of that nature
5:07
yeah just looking at that I mean it's
5:10
not that far but you look at it on the
5:11
map it's almost overwhelming a very
5:13
little plate it's a you know you're
5:15
sitting here your tent with you and all
5:18
your supplies and 30 gallons of gas and
5:20
those motors are such gas guzzlers back
5:22
then there's a series of islands in the
5:25
vicinity of Bowman Island Lodge all with
5:27
the potential of holding a giant coaster
5:29
the key is to find shallow areas of
5:32
rubble or boulders and then not be
5:35
afraid to cast into them so when did the
5:38
swamp limit Beiderbecke
5:41
started about 19 inches about 10 years
5:43
ago and then they moved it to 20 and
5:46
then now they've moved it to 22
5:47
saw 22 being so anything that is over 22
5:52
we are allowed to any blank you're
5:53
allowed to keep one anything under 22
5:56
goes back close back yeah so you're
5:58
allowed to keep one fish over 22 so
6:00
that's it yeah I think last year I had
6:03
three quiet people keep them and I think
6:06
two of them were kept because they were
6:07
guilt they oh they were dead anyway so
6:10
that's all the fish that a person can
6:12
keep when they commit in part of
6:14
respects yeah respects that's then we
6:15
asked promoting good live release on
6:17
everything but that's fantast and life I
6:20
know we've we've been their barbs it's
6:21
not barbless out here like Nipigon is
6:22
and i don't know why they haven't
6:23
changed its a barbless because you don't
6:25
you know you don't lose any more fish no
6:27
we're not at all not at all anybody says
6:30
a new fish prizm you know they don't
6:32
know if it's something they're exactly
6:39
according to legend Lake Superior never
6:43
gives up her dead that's due to the
6:45
frigid annual temperatures normally
6:48
bacteria feeding on a sunken decayed
6:49
body will generate gas inside that body
6:52
causing it to float to the surface after
6:54
just a few days but the water in Lake
6:57
Superior is so cold year-round
6:59
that actually inhibits bacterial growth
7:01
and bodies tend to sink and never
7:04
surface this is alluded to in Gordon
7:07
Lightfoot's the wreck of the Edmund
7:08
Fitzgerald no crew members were ever
7:10
recovered
7:12
[Music]
7:14
the Fitzgerald got swallowed up so
7:17
intensely by Lake Superior that the 700
7:19
plus foot ship actually split in half
7:24
this two pieces are still sitting in
7:27
approximately 550 feet of this ghostly
7:30
abyss Lake Superior is the largest of
7:37
the five Great Lakes in North America it
7:40
is bounded to the north by an Ontario in
7:42
Minnesota and to the south by Wisconsin
7:44
and Michigan it is the largest
7:46
freshwater lake in the world by surface
7:48
area and the world's third largest
7:50
freshwater lake by volume Lake Superior
7:54
has a surface area of over 31,000 square
7:57
miles and is actually larger than the
7:59
state of South Carolina the viewer to
8:02
dream Lake Superior it would cover North
8:04
and South America with over a foot of
8:07
water I hope I can reach those fish out
8:11
there a lot of guys will come in and
8:13
just fish like to the 7 8 foot break
8:16
meanwhile three four feet of water right
8:18
here off the side of these creeks
8:22
stacked with trout like right there
8:26
that's the cast right there
8:32
pick one there's one oh it's a little
8:36
different it was like this big trip
8:39

8:44

14:30
have seen that cuz it could it flopped
14:32
nicely it's been a 180 in the air Wow
14:38
Paul for a minute there I thought that
14:40
was the biggest for trout of my life
14:42
although it may look like might be
14:44
scored in weather department and and I
14:46
were much better off with our overcast
14:47
skies brookies can deal with the
14:49
sunshine in current situations however
14:51
when they roam calm clear waters it's a
14:53
whole different story
14:54
well it doesn't look the answer this is
14:55
worth of cooking a nice one
14:59
are you sure I'm telling you I saw some
15:01
big spots on his challenge the big
15:02
squirt hatred square tail yeah that's a
15:04
risk that's a birthday and with a little
15:07
tight
15:13
that was crazy he came back after that's
15:17
a good sign
15:20
oh man you know what he's not pulling
15:22
that hard but he's squirrely yeah now
15:25
he's now he's rolling the death toll
15:27
here oh nice yes it coaster you can spin
15:35
Wow oh what a gorgeous fish now 22 is
15:39
the yeah if you're gonna 22 and over
15:44
would be a keeper he's not 22
15:45
so it would be so they're releasing all
15:47
fish this size right I don't know why
15:50
you'd want to keep us back that big
15:51
inning that I have no idea thanks a lot
15:54
yeah kind of like the bottom here all
15:56
real clay murky looking oh that was
16:07
beautiful that fish followed
16:09
I thought the rainbow yeah and a
16:12
positive eight lucky to spend Lake
16:26
Superior was now starting to rear its
16:28
potentially ugly head the winds were
16:31
building up speed and the waters
16:32
starting to get choppy but the good
16:34
thing about fishing the top end the
16:35
superior is that you can always find an
16:37
island or a cold way to protect the
16:39
waters he my folks in resistance I
16:45
thought I had a piece of wheat or two
16:46
that's nice that is a nice rookie buddy
16:50
whoa yeah you can see it dragon
17:09
[Music]
17:17
[Music]
17:31
and you know what they're pretty pretty
17:34
honey little fish how's he doing he's
17:38
doing good he's gonna go he's just
17:41
taking a break all right fine all right
17:44
that thing fought like crazy fun
17:53
this is extremely fun you may be
17:56
thinking this coaster brook trout
17:58
fishing is all about finesse right uh
17:59
for instance as decided to tie on a
18:02
five-inch heart jerk bait that you
18:03
normally use for bass walleye or even
18:05
pike
18:05
now this meat is not normally associated
18:07
for brook trout but out here anything
18:09
goes it's alive
18:12
[Music]
18:29
[Music]
18:50
that is right but we're coming for sure
18:53
oh yeah I get a grip on that tail you
18:57
should be good
18:58
ah baby baby baby that is it right there
19:03
dude nice nice job Lake Superior
19:08
coasters if I get that pail open if he
19:13
doesn't fly you being nice right now
19:16
so yes square tail that is something
19:20
else man give me a look here but nice
19:26
