1:14
today we're at moose territory Lodge at
1:15
Northwestern come back but we're going
1:16
to experience the best of both worlds
1:21
opinions as to the method of
1:23
transportation to and from fishing
1:25
lodges is as personal as the favorite
1:26
species of fish once there whether it's
1:30
by to fly in walleye or trout the bottom
1:33
line is once there the rest of the oil
1:34
is left behind and catching lots of
1:36
fishes on the agenda is great today
1:39
we're fishing in a very unique area of
1:40
Quebec which is deemed an exclusive
1:42
territory moose territory Lodge our
1:44
final destination has exclusive rights
1:46
for 45 lakes on 65 square miles of
1:48
territory which means it's all private
1:50
property anglers to neither fly here or
1:52
dry in order to drive here you must go
1:57
through what's called the back this is
1:59
an area in which roads in Quebec are
2:01
used to access remote areas for fishing
2:03
hunting and other outdoor activities
2:04
these roads are maintained by the
2:06
government and the public pays a small
2:08
fee to use it well worth the price
2:12
the first spot on our hit list is a
2:14
small speckled trout lake we've got a
2:16
couple of hours in the early morning
2:18
before our walleye trip starts so why
2:20
not take a quick client and hit the
2:21
misty frigid waters to try for one of
2:23
Canada's most five species the 2750
2:32

4:20
fishing man oh well now it ain't a
4:23
spinner naturally
4:25

4:27
that's your first water that was that
4:29
they got four or five Abigail use he's
4:32
close to five Wow
4:33
spent time what a great fish this gift
4:36
on that same trophy I was at 22 feet P
4:39
it was that 22 starting to drop off a
4:40
little deeper so they're probably a
4:42
little bit of a break there seems like
4:43
that what he's on so it's perfect
4:45
let's get on it yet what a way to start
4:48
the day
4:48
tolling in the early morning mist and
4:50
coming up with a gorgeous catch
4:52
there's something very majestic of a big
4:53
brook trout sister time was limited here
4:55
we headed back for dry land for a wild
4:57
game shorelines with our good buddy Sean
4:59
Kelly Johnson guy who actually hooked us
5:01
up with moose territory Lodge after a
5:03
great lunch our next fishing destination
5:05
was a tiny walleye Lake and a whole new
5:07
form of transportation to good ol ATV
5:10
this is the perfect vehicle to run the
5:12
rough Bush roads and sneak into those
5:14
pothole sized lakes where a plane just
5:16
can't land to get to moose territory
5:22
Lodge we first traveled highway 401 east
5:24
highway 115 we then took highway 7 east
5:28
and turned north on highway 41 at Khalid
5:30
our next we took Highway 17 north and
5:33
finally turn right onto Swisher road at
5:36
the lodges air base from there you can
5:38
either fly to the lodge or travel
5:40
through a Zek and then on to the old
5:42
dirt road earlier in the show we talked
5:48
about moose territories lock on a huge
5:50
parcel land that only their customers
5:52
can access well that means anglers have
5:54
great peace of mind knowing that even
5:56
though their destination is a drive to
5:58
Lake only a very small amount of people
6:00
have ever been there
6:01
drive-thru walleye lakes that only allow
6:04
one boat on at a time now that's my kind
6:06
of Lake essentially all we had to do is
6:08
find the fish and what better way to try
6:10
and pinpoint while I've been trolling by
6:12
dragging the spinner crank bait or even
6:14
a jigging worm trolling is super
6:16
effective one thing we've noticed even
6:19
what's believed to be fish bill Lodge
6:20
Lakes is that not all the lake holds
6:22
fish usually it's a very specific spot
6:25
that produces and that's exactly what
6:27
happened here today
6:28
a single tree jutting well out into the
6:30
lake at a school of feeding walleye
6:32
nearby now I'll guarantee the algae and
6:35
zooplankton from the tree we're getting
6:36
meat by
6:37
and the baitfish will get eaten by
6:39
walleye yeah one Andy Cohen our buddy
6:45

6:48

11:20
nice Oh just on the tip but smell dark
11:25
beer yeah Simon Gold's all right all
11:27
gold blue it is cheap Dover just taking
11:30
the site i don't maybe you're saying
11:31
like here's got a bit of blue on it
11:33
nothing a blue or not but i don't think
11:35
it it no it doesn't look like it does it
11:36
no nicely done you good look maybe
11:44
there's a blue I don't know I look at it
11:47
you know it could be a blue first I
11:50
don't think it's silvery enough but
11:51
maybe my student cares we got it me to
11:53
vote see you buddy nicely done
12:01
alright let's bang out a few more of
12:04
those how much what is that that's that
12:06
name at the same time you having a big
12:09
year for doubleheaders we are there's
12:13
these astronaut of mine they gold
12:16
cowbell now just a single blade per
12:19
color perch pattern silver orange beads
12:23
nice you know I just put that on because
12:27
I haven't used that color special work
12:29
yet
12:29
and in fact the basics do write out the
12:31
basics old-school okay now what I want
12:36
to do is I want to maybe go right back
12:37
up the Waypoint this way they'll go
12:39
against the wind see if we get a bite
12:40
that way then one though they're just
12:41
loaded maybe there's maybe told me this
12:43
way and we'll find a direction thing
12:44
again oh I'm with you I'm with you boss
12:47
all I could tell you I don't think
12:50
that's a coincidence that we got those
12:52
two fish at the same time in exactly the
12:54
same spot that's a school of fish yeah
12:56
and and it's not a coincidence so I'm
12:59
willing to bet that we will get some
13:01
more fish out of there now the
13:02
unfortunate part though is that the wind
13:04
is starting to pick up again we may have
13:05
to throw a drift sock out there you know
13:07
one doing it over them
13:08
yes but right rolling up against I think
13:10
that's kind of a you may not have a p40
13:13
us down
13:16
[Music]
13:20
and item we always bring along on remote
13:22
fishing trips is our portable fish
13:24
finder with GPS the value of having one
13:26
of these units on a small uncharted lake
13:28
is second to none we look for structure
13:30
with a fake fish we look for game fish
13:32
and we can mark the exact waypoints and
13:34
the fishing gets hot Thanks
13:36
this keeps back that was the best read
13:38
after a song when I went to set the hook
13:40
the first time he's got it
13:43
you got it - look at this God we doesn't
13:46
get any better than this
13:47
and a scoop okay just don't break the
13:50
line oh that's a chunky fish he is not
13:56
long he'll work oh yeah look at that son
13:59
come on ocean oh yeah
14:01
night Mike wixmerio easy Oh got me back
14:17
you deserve to live buddy know what Baja
14:21
rock figure that he's releasing three
14:26
feet of water drifted from five four
14:28
three
14:29
Wow I love it this is great when you get
14:34
into shallow water why doesn't happen
14:35
very often but it to me it's as exciting
14:39
as bass fishing I mean we're talking
14:41
mostly fish that we made contact with
14:43
her in ten feet or less some of them in
14:46
eight six feet unbelievable during your
14:50
feeding up on something and they are
14:52
focused they are here for a purpose
14:54
and that's what makes it so much fun cuz
14:56
you can get right over top of them like
14:57
we're doing and literally drift right on
15:00
them and just take jigging boom and they
15:02
give you that that walleyes Mac which is
15:04
absolutely the best deal anywhere
15:09
that water feels alarm again I know
15:12
notice that it was feeling cooler while
15:15
ago yeah
15:17
outside big wallet buddy holy oh and I
15:22
don't know that matters but I'm going to
15:23
need to get that net for your fish yeah
15:25

15:28
10 feet of water he was very shy just
15:30
about to say we dive diet but it's it
15:32
that I know I said nice fish I get a big
15:34

17:28
back how's this for great walleye action
17:33
working a break close to deepwater but
17:36
catching walleye you don't need three to
17:37
seven feet nice action like this is what
17:40
will keep walleye fanatics glued to
17:41
their sports for many years to come
17:47
[Music]
17:48
today's hot spot is a break close to an
17:51
island I'm going to moose territories
17:52
many walleye lakes the waypoint on your
17:54
screen will get you there work the
17:56
entire area from shallow to 20 + B start
17:59
with some form of live bait and if the
18:01
fishing is crazy then changed
18:02
artificials trolling jigging or simply
18:05
dragging light bait are all great
18:06
options for more waypoints like this one
18:08
check out fishing Canada calm
