I have been in the fortunate position to have traveled all over Canada to fish, but at my core I am and always will be a paddler. Since the kids were born my canoe trips dwindled, but I've never lost the desire. For me this was the first trip of substance in quite some time. For my 10 year old son Brendan it was his very first. We spent 12 days tripping deep into the interior of Algonquin Park carrying heavy loads for many miles over rough portages and paddling for days on end. For a kid this wasn't simply getting his feet wet, he jumped right into the pool! He is definitely my son because he never gave up once and handled the hardships without complaints. I was incredibly proud. Along the way we caught numerous large wild brook trout, several well over 5 pounds. That is something I've never done before in Algonquin, and it was a big surprise. For a kid's first trip, well, he hit the lottery! For many reasons this was the best trip I've ever done in my life. I've pieced together this video chronicling the entire adventure. Have a look and come along for the ride! www.canadafishingguide.net
