solopaddler Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) Okay I think I've got it now (youtube seems to be the way to go ) This was a trip I did with my dad and uncle in June 2006. Hadn't even seen these clips 'till last week when my uncle found them on his camera and forwarded them to me. Taken with his digital camera they're very crude, but kind of interesting and a little funny at times . No talking on this one. My uncle's filming me dragging our boat up through a heavy set of rapids while my dad swats flies in the background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0bHgIcSfSI Please excuse the inane banter and the seemingly ridiculous amount of fish on the stringer (it was our 3 man limit): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yx-pwy1Ecs My dad the comedian : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awzVWadnFgw Cheers, Mike Edited June 23, 2008 by solopaddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Can't see them ether Mike. Is it really worth the cost to fly further than Nakina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I can't access your video either. Years ago I flew out of Nakina and the fishing was second to none. However it was on hell of a long drive to Nakina from the Buffalo area but we had 8 guys and a 40 ft motor home that made it nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Can't see them ether Mike. Is it really worth the cost to fly further than Nakina? Okay I "think" they're working now. I checked before I posted and they worked for me (but then they worked for me last night as well ). Hey Dan, nope it's not worth the cost at all if your criteria is only catching fish. Plenty of amazing fishing to be had without flying in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes. Those were great Mike. And of course, flying in is the way to go. There's nothing like having an entire fish filled lake to yourself. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Great videos Mike! I gotta tell you, in that first video, seeing you struggle with that boat while your dad was swatting flies and the cameraman just watching....LOL. Did you, even for a second think "A little help here guys??" LOL. Cant say that looks like fun Mike...to each their own I suppose....haha. The other vids were entertaining as well...."Noooooo.....I dont wanna go back...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you, even for a second think "A little help here guys??" LOL. Cant say that looks like fun Mike...to each their own I suppose....haha. You gotta understand both of those guys were pushing 70 at the time, and even if they wanted to help I wouldn't have let them anyway... I've done stuff like that a million times, and 20 years from now it won't be the fishing I remember, it'll be dragging that bloody boat 1KM upstream by myself while being swarmed by blackflies LOL! (On a side note we absolutely SLAYED the fish above those rapids, so it was definitely worth it. My dad caught a 29" walleye which is a remarkable fish for that watershed) Edited June 24, 2008 by solopaddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok...if I was with you, you'd have been saying "Come on, put the damn camera away and get your butt over here you lazy, good for nothing....." At any rate, looked like a trip to remember!

Moosebunk Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 If Mike was on my turf I would have had him dragging my boat. If I was on his, I would have had him dragging his and my boat. HAHA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHA. Nope. The only way I'm dragging that behemoth of yours is if I juice myself up. I just saw "The Man Who's Arms Exploded" last night on A&E. Anything's possible I guess . If you were on my turf we'd use the behemoth to drag my more normal sized boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuro Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 You dad...I could listen to him all day..."what a humpback". He has that old Euro view of the world and a slight accent. Where was he born? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was he born? That was my uncle behind the camera actually, but they're like 2 peas in a pod. I had completely forgotten that he'd called the bigger walleye humpbacks 'till I saw the video clip last week LOL! They were born in a small town near Darmstadt.
