    • @madetoexplore
      @madetoexplore  Год назад

      @@GNProductionsMN thanks! Use a small heavy lure with a single barbless hook. Cast far and let it sink. The trick is finding the right depth. Sometimes you have to let it sink all the way to the bottom and slowly reel back in. If you don’t get bites on a couple casts, change what your doing. Good luck!

    • @madetoexplore

    Hi, wondering which lens did you use on opabin plateau? I’ll going there a month later but wonder if need a 16mm or 20mm is enough. Thank you!

    • @madetoexplore
      @madetoexplore  Год назад

      I’d recommend a 16mm! I have the Sony 16-35

    Hello David, have you ever hiked from Lake McArthur to Opabin Prospect Viewpoint of Lake Ohara via Schaffer Lake-Mount Schaffer route? Or, do you have any idea about this route, easy or difficult or, how long should it take? Thank you

    • @madetoexplore
      @madetoexplore  2 года назад

      I haven’t personally done that route but I would really like too! Check out the app alltrails, the route should be on there.

    Hi, thanks for your video. I have a couple of questions. 1. How far is the Opabin Plateau from Lake O'Hara campground - one way? I am not planning to complete the entire Alpine Circuit. 2. How far is MacArthur Lake from Lake O'Hara campground - one way? Thanks

    • @madetoexplore

    did you book a spot for the tent? Or it's first come first serve? I couldn't find where to reserve it on website, only bus and frontcamping which is for RV as I understand...

    • @madetoexplore
      @madetoexplore  Год назад

      Yes, we reserved a tent site which are very competitive. It’s on the Canada Parks website under Backcountry and Yoho National Park

    congrats! i am also planning to do this for the same purpose, however i couldn’t secure a campsite :( would you say this is possible to do in a day hike? (i.e. start at 7:30am and be back by sun down? thank you in advance!

      Hey there, thanks for watching! From the campground to the lake is only about 1 km, from there to the lookout is 6.6 km round trip with 350ish meters of elevation. Hope that helps and you have a great time☺️

    You don't have to walk in there you get in there at 3:00 in the morning bike in the 11 km and hide the bike in the bush

      Biking on the lake O’hara fire road is prohibited…wouldn’t want to risk that ticket..
