I am so glad your dad shared his memory of the beaver ponds with you - and equally glad you followed up on his recollections. A very, very nice video indeed. Knowing the effort and time you invest in these productions, I just want to offer my sincere thanks for all the great angling outings you have shared over this past year. They are greatly appreciated!

Awesome narration and landscape. My uncle took me fishing in the wilderness of British Columbia, where he was a hunting/trapping guide for decades. Asked him what the rifle was for. His reply was we're going into land where people are not welcomed. Did see a Wolverine and mountain goat in the far distance with binoculars. The mountain stream was only a few feet wide. The amount of brook trout, in it was heavenly. We are truly the invasive species in the wilderness.

when I was a kid, before you were born, Bill Dance had a show and on it they offered a lure of the month club. good times waiting for the mail man then riding my bike to the lake to fish some lure no other kid had access to. Never did so well on them but it was fun. My entire life if woven together wish fishing tales of my travels. Keep on casting my friend and tight lines

My brother and I used to fish high country lakes and streams for brookies and cutthroats. Most of the streams saw little to no pressure as they were considered to be to small for any decent fish. We caught a lot of fish though most were under ten to twelve inches long. Don't remember ever seeing anyone else fishing those small streams. Lots of great memories.

Awesome video. I grew up fishing a lot of places like this in the Saranac, Wilmington and st. Regis areas of the Adirondacks. Most of the fish were around 7-9 inches but I’ve gotten into 16-17 inch native brookies up there. It’s always an amazing thing to be way up in the mountains catching beautiful wild fish with no one around for miles.
