Love your *TOPPLING GOLIATH* hat! I live north of Decorah, 12 miles in Burr Oak. I love pickin' up a couple Growlers of Pseudo Sue every time we go to town for groceries!
@@AnglingUploaded I love trout fishing Coldwater, North (and South) Bear and my favorite; Waterloo Creek! We have an 8-1/2# Natural Brown on the wall from there and it has the big bottom hook jaw! Love your vids!
I took the trip with my dad and brother when I was a 12-year-old boy in 1988. So cool and memorable! I will never forget it. Heading back with my brother June of 2023.
I'll be there in a week! with my 14 yr old son. Grew up in Southern MN, and fished "Up North" many times, but Pa wasn't into portaging canoes for 5, so this is my first trip to the Great BWCA @ 60 yrs young.
Thanks! We bring in leeches and jig a lot. 4 to 5 inch floating raps or topwaters for bass action. Powerbait also works well bit its tough to beat live bait.
Great fishing! I’m heading up to the boundary waters and was looking around for lightweight collapsible nets, what one did you use in the video? Thanks.
Not sure of the brand? Amazon likely. Extendable handle a big help. They usually are average quality - but being able to strap it on the side of your pack is invaluable. Rubber net helps a ton with rapalas involved. Cloth nets can be a nightmare with barbs.
Why did you need to check in at the Cache bay station if only camping on mn side? Word of advice. Pinch the barbs down or grind off on crank baits. I we have been doing it for 30 years ever since our body need to push a hook through his thumb. Cut off the tip and pull it back through. He nearly fainted
Not so pro tip #1: when you hand the net to an angler who’s got a fish on, hand it to him handle first. Just sayin’. Great vid! I’m headed up there this May. Just curious, did that loon actually attack your stringer fish?
I have been going to the cache bay ranger station for 35 years. Janice worked thier the entire time. But died of a brain tumor in the last 3 years. She probably collected everything in thier. She raised her kids out there
It has been a few years since we (my son & I) were on Ottertrack Lake - such a beautiful lake... Anyhow, I was wondering if that was the only lake you guys fished? Or, did you slip into other lakes?
An angling RUclips channel and you've never had a treble break?! Lucky you! Gotta replace the trebles on most lures it seems these days. They mostly come with cheap hooks!
Ooh boy those lakers coming up from the depths! Either lakers or sturgeon, so if you're not setting stink on the bottom, it's probably a laker! Good fish!
Hey John. Most access points or outfitters will have large parking areas to leave your car. BWCA is mostly canoes but some lakes on the edge allow up to 25hp motors. The Big Sanagana tow we used in this was through a lake not inside the BWCA. They drop you on the edge so you dont have to paddle a huge lake with motor boats.
“We’ve gotta take care of this place or there’ll be motor boats here.” Then he gets a motorboat tow back to the outfitter! 🤣 And don’t forget about when he spits that big ol’ chewing tobacco wad into the lake! Instead of LNT standing for Leave No Trace, it should stand for “Leave No Tobacco!” 😂 Bwhahahahhah!!
Thanks for taking to the time it takes (which is a lot) to film, edit, and upload your material. I would recommend NOT using those big yellow plastic pliers you use to handle fish. It damages them unnecessarily. Also recommend sharing the baits you are using, the depth, water temp, etc.
We mostly jig with leeches or troll F5 raps. colors vary. fish grips do not close completely and do no damage to the fish becuase of a 1/4 gap. they are not a "pliers". they greatly increase your ability to manage the fish and prevent it from landing in the boat saving injury to the fish and fisherman. Even lake trout with sensitive mouths do well and its easier to protect the slime that is their lifeline. supporting the fish is key.
6lb mono trilene is my go to. I usually bring an extra spool with 8lb braid for trolling. Cuts the water better and gets cranks down where they need to be.
Its actually a fishtrax! Fabulous small unit. 4 aaa batteries. Lithiums are light and last the longest. 8 got me through the trip. Suction cup transducer. Highly recommend!
Enjoy your videos,but think you keep some of the fish out to long,and over stressing them especially the lake trout from a long fight and 130 feet down!
Powdered gatorade plastic. And another we have had for 10 years. Also plastic works like a charm. Beyond illegal I don't need the weight in my pack. I am old and tired.
Gopro 8 mounted and for time lapses. Everything else is samsung galaxy. Cameras don't add a lot of weight but the batteries are 4-5lbs for 8 days of filming..
@@AnglingUploaded do you take multiple memory cards? Seems like you have the camera running often. Multiple batteries or do you have a way to recharge the batteries while you are out there? I am going in June with my 16 year old son and would love to have some videos of us having fun!
@@AnglingUploaded its been a while since I watched the video. (RABC permit) But I thought you said you could not touch land on Canada side. You don't need a rabc permit to fish Canadian water. Just a Canadian fishing license. I have been through Cache Bay many time going up through Silver Falls portage. Beautiful falls. Quetico has far fewer campers
@Golfish You need a passport or permit to cross into Canada. RABC gives you day access. You also have to check in to make use of either. Quetico on the bucket list!

Pseudo is King! Such a great town and brewery. Trout fish down there regularly.

I'll be there! Mid June. Already calendar staring.
I do love the fish gripper. Especially when catching dozens of smallies on crank baits
Nice not to have raw hands on those sharp critters!
I went to a boys camp one summer in Hayward and at age 14 spent 2.5 weeks canoeing and portaging the boundry waters. Will be with me till I die.
There is no letting go once you've experienced it Russ! Get back up there - its waiting for you.
I'd have a seriously hard time not jumping into the water off that canoe. Man is it beautiful out there! Heading up in a week!!
Just popped up on my suggested list. Glad you had some great luck out there. Walleye, Pike, and Lake Trout. oh my!
Thanks! Heaven on earth up there.
I'll be there in a week! with my 14 yr old son. Grew up in Southern MN, and fished "Up North" many times, but Pa wasn't into portaging canoes for 5, so this is my first trip to the Great BWCA @ 60 yrs young.
Hope you had a great trip!!!! Never too old :)
My dog and I are planning our first BWCA trip next week. I look forward to this. Great fishing video. Thank you!
You and the pooch made a great decision Casey. Great time of year. Have an amazing trip!
Hell yeah Casey it’s just me and my dog when I go up there!
How did the trip turn out?
Dragging that canoe on the rocks at about 35 minutes
killed my soul a little bit.
I was up in that area 2 weeks ago. We were on Big Lake not in the bwca but close. Fishing was good even with the bug hatch and 85 degree water temps.
Same here Brandon. Just got back. 90 degrees, no wind, mayflies and endless fish on the line.
Pick up those walleye by thier bellies. Especially the large ones. They sit pretty calm
Awesome video. Can’t wait for my trip in 10 days! I will also be doing a video series of the entire trip!
Pete's first BWCA video got me into this channel and made me want to go up there. Glad to see another installment!
Thanks Brandon!
Amazing fishing review.
Oh the sky at 8:00 was amazing, thanks for sharing the great video
Thank you! Every night seems to end in spectacular fashion up there.
I spent a week up there in the 80's and needed to see this. The sunsets were *Exactly* like you captured.
I couldn't help but notice your Toppling Goliath hat! I live 20 mins away from Decorah. Also, great video! Brings back so many good memories!
Pseudo Sue baby! Nectar of life :)
Paradise out there!
Nooooooo
Don't clean fish at camp site.
Bear attractor.
But nice video
Loved the video, thanks for posting. What lures/bait did you find to be the most productive?
Thanks! We bring in leeches and jig a lot. 4 to 5 inch floating raps or topwaters for bass action. Powerbait also works well bit its tough to beat live bait.
Love This video. Idk how many times I’ve watched this over and over. What we’re you guys using for anchor?
Thanks Say! Rock anchor. Basically a bag or net you can add rocks to. Multiple mid size rocks are better than 1 or 2 big ones.
Great fishing! I’m heading up to the boundary waters and was looking around for lightweight collapsible nets, what one did you use in the video? Thanks.

We had RABC permits allowing us to fish in Canada during the daytime.
Awesome video, looked like a great trip! How were the black flies and mosquitoes up there in June?
No black flies but mosquitos usually peaking. They show up like clockwork 9 or 10ish.
Not so pro tip #1: when you hand the net to an angler who’s got a fish on, hand it to him handle first. Just sayin’. Great vid! I’m headed up there this May. Just curious, did that loon actually attack your stringer fish?
Not sure if you will se this but what lures/ baits worked for you?
We were either jigging with leeches or trolling raps..
Don't think so. He was curious on and off all day.
I have been going to the cache bay ranger station for 35 years. Janice worked thier the entire time. But died of a brain tumor in the last 3 years. She probably collected everything in thier. She raised her kids out there
Amazing stop. What a sweet lady!
It has been a few years since we (my son & I) were on Ottertrack Lake - such a beautiful lake... Anyhow, I was wondering if that was the only lake you guys fished? Or, did you slip into other lakes?
We fish parts of knife for the lake trout. Most of our walleye was ottertack. Mostly Canadian fishing..
An angling RUclips channel and you've never had a treble break?! Lucky you! Gotta replace the trebles on most lures it seems these days. They mostly come with cheap hooks!
Ooh boy those lakers coming up from the depths! Either lakers or sturgeon, so if you're not setting stink on the bottom, it's probably a laker! Good fish!
Where do you park your car while camping weeks on end please explain.
I also thought it was only canoes allowed
Hey John. Most access points or outfitters will have large parking areas to leave your car. BWCA is mostly canoes but some lakes on the edge allow up to 25hp motors.

Instead of LNT standing for Leave No Trace, it should stand for “Leave No Tobacco!” 😂 Bwhahahahhah!!
Were you guys on the Basswood River last summer end of June beginning of July?
Don't think so? Timing is right. We went to knife through the ely side. Is that on the route?
Thanks for taking to the time it takes (which is a lot) to film, edit, and upload your material. I would recommend NOT using those big yellow plastic pliers you use to handle fish. It damages them unnecessarily. Also recommend sharing the baits you are using, the depth, water temp, etc.

Amazing video. Going to exact same spot in early sept. What type of line were you using? Looked like 6lb? Also loved the TG hat!
6lb mono trilene is my go to. I usually bring an extra spool with 8lb braid for trolling. Cuts the water better and gets cranks down where they need to be.
@@AnglingUploaded Braid floats lol. Use Fluoro if you're looking to get your cranks down.
That’s livin. I’d love to go up there and rip lips like that
You gotta get up there Chad!
Angling Uploaded it eats at me everyday. One day. 👍🏻
Sick trip. What were the dates? any problems with bugs?
Mid June. Bugs on fire! Generally if they bugs are lit up the fish are too. The fish tax..
Do you have electronics, you are able to tell the depth and detect ledges. If so what are you using?
Sounded like a vexlar.
Its actually a fishtrax! Fabulous small unit. 4 aaa batteries. Lithiums are light and last the longest. 8 got me through the trip. Suction cup transducer. Highly recommend!
what lake was 25:00 on? looked familiar to the one i went on in boy scouts.
Ottertrack
What lures and baits did you use? And which ones would you recommend
Hey Jake. We jig a lot with leeches. f13 raps casting or trolling great too!
How did you charge your camera batteries during your trip? You shot a lot of video and got some fantastic shots
I used a Nomad 7 Plus last trip and never ran out of charged batteries between my phone and gopro
Efficient and light lithum batteries are key. 3-4 lbs worth!
Got to go when u let fish go
Enjoy your videos,but think you keep some of the fish out to long,and over stressing them especially the lake trout from a long fight and 130 feet down!
Good advice Tom. We have a pretty quick turnaround. Can always be better.
Was that a glass jar you had your leeches in!? 😮🤐 lol
Powdered gatorade plastic. And another we have had for 10 years. Also plastic works like a charm. Beyond illegal I don't need the weight in my pack. I am old and tired.
Curious about your camera equipment? GoPro ?
Gopro 8 mounted and for time lapses. Everything else is samsung galaxy. Cameras don't add a lot of weight but the batteries are 4-5lbs for 8 days of filming..
@@AnglingUploaded Fantastic stuff…..you really capture the beauty. Artistically wonderful. Sorry I didn’t say that in my first comment.
Thanks.

Why did you need to stop in Cache Bay
We had Canadian RABC permits
@@AnglingUploaded its been a while since I watched the video. (RABC permit)
But I thought you said you could not touch land on Canada side.
You don't need a rabc permit to fish Canadian water. Just a Canadian fishing license.

😆😆😆
Was this a 2019 trip? Or 2020?
2019..
What canoe seat were you using
GCI outdoors - my all time favorite!
If I was your fren I'd tell you to stop talking. Just kidding! Maybe.
🤣🤣🤣 He loves me too much!
