DentonDoc,


Thanks for posting that Part V is up.


I really enjoy Keen’s You Tube Video Series. They are walleye fish catching machines ... heck, he was catching walleye in WCPP using a birch stick and safety pin rod. You gotta love it.

I watched the video, so have a question.
Is it legal to cut down standing trees in wcpp?

No.


It would likely be overlooked if it was a standing DEAD tree and posed an eminent safety threat.

I was thinking that too, but I will take that as long as the border is open by then.

No, unfortunately not mine, but if you are going to take a vicarious trip to WCPP this year you have to watch the 19 day trip Koen Tholhuijsen's youtube channel. It has everything, photography/video, fish, caribou, beauty, teamwork, relaxing music, sun, rain, wind, with excellent editing. They have 3 parts posted so far, more to come. Probably the best advertisement you could have for the park. I really hope the border is open next year.

Thanks hobbydog, I enjoyed the first two and have been waiting for part 3, which I plan to watch shortly. A WCPP trip will have to wait until next year.

Agreed. I just watched the third installment and was very happy to see there would be a 4th. An absolutely lovely documentation of a fabulous trip. I try to study the video in hopes I can get better at documenting my own travels. I love watching it, though it hurts me that I’m not packed and driving up there right now. This is my third year in a row I’ve had to cancel.

It has been very enjoyable watching this series. Sure miss not getting a trip in this year.

I would not worry about crowds descending on WCPP. Even with the big push that Red Lake Outfitters put on before closing shop, the numbers remain below a thousand a year.

Added to that is the powers-that-be stopped allowing Ontario Parks to visit the sports shows a few years ago. Goldseekers Outfitting does a lot of Facebook, but overall, there is very little advertising going on now.

As for the route, there are a lot more places to go than the Haven to Mexican Hat milk run that has been pushed so hard lately.

Three times is a bummer, jaywalker! I hope we don't have to do that next year. . .


There's some very nice video in there. Personally, I like that there's not a lot of talk in the video, but I'm not a big fan of too many fish pictures. Also not a fan of speeded up portions.
