A fishing guide in Haliburton Forest, a private reserve not too far from me, invited me out for a day of snowmobiling and ice fishing for trout. Unstable weather and unseasonably warm temperatures made for difficult fishing, but I was able to put one decent sized brook trout on the ice and we had a great time.

W❤️W! That’s Incredibly Awesome! 🤗❤️✨
Please make your videos more transgender friendly! Thanks
Love your videos … but i like you talking ….on every video ….. is there’s someone like me ….
So cool! Thanks for taking us along. I’ve never ice fished before, so this is great!
Nice Brookie! Are there any Brookies in that meadow creek?
You might consider applying a high-pass filter to your videos. My subs are working overtime. 😅
What an exceptional invitation you join you on the ice for some fishing. Watching from subtropical summer of heat & humidity in Ipswich Queensland Australia, I am truly blessed to be whisked away on an ice fishing adventure. 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞✌️👍👏👏👏👏🇨🇦
THE.. FC.. NK.. สุรักษ์
I would have a hard time fishing with someone that doesn't shut up once in awhile
Is this near where Sling and Stone just did a vid on?
Can’t believe ice is already so thick there. Here in Manotick south of Ottawa the Rideau is still open. Great channel! Thanks much I really have enjoyed watching your adventures! 🙏😊
Oh the joy and lightweight of battery operated augers. Our old gas model with a huge 10" blade, was a beast. Sure could not handle that machine now. Nice eater, my biggest was 5 3/4 pounds at 21" Man it was a gorgeous male. Wish I could have afford to have it mounted. That fish hit in the shallows, less than 3 ft. Wow what a thrill to land it.
WOW you2 are so amazing and real in such a wonderful fishing …………….u are amazing.again and again………Namaste
Crush on you.
One thing I like about watching you and your family, Shawn, is seeing the care you-all take to prepare for the task/venture ahead. Your preparation for fishing perhaps made it possible for you to snag that one brook trout. A lesson to be learned by us all. Nice fish. Nice adventure. Nice video!
👍 for fishing and paysage
Your videos and your workmanship is amazing, congratulations Shawn, I'm impressed and proud of you!!
Ok, so I have to ask, are you married? Kids? I'm curious, cuz I haven't seen them in the videos.
I hope it's OK that I ask you that…
I have been married and divorced,
I know what it is like to go thru that,
and to create a life being single.
Anyhow keep on keeping on, and smile often!!
Never had access to a snowmobile or scanner's or electric of gas powered augers; just loaded my stuff on a cheap Canadian Tire sled and went out there with my 6" auger; still do, best time ever! The serenity is all worth it. 🙂
Shawn, on one of your videos you talked about your channel membership. I am looking to become a member however there is no "Join" button. Do you still have membership available?
Stevie FF. He's good at what he does, eh? Lots of energy!
im loving this,,what a life…wheres the grill…haaa
Beautiful Temiscamie strain Canadian brook trout. I envy you man! When I go ice fishing, I usually forget to take a hand towel or old flannel shirt to wipe my hands. Keeps the inside of your gloves clean and dry.
Glad to see the lakes finally frozen over down there..
Gotta ice fish at least once a winter!
Qual sensação de pescar no lago congelado?
I am in South East Michigan, and we been ice fishing Lake St, Clair for 40 years now, nowwhere near the fishing of the Canadian waters, but still fun, you just can`t beat bluegill, perch and walleye in cold water, even the pike are great in the ice cold water. The lake is loaded with walleye, but perch not so much anymore, much better fishing on the Canadian side of the lake, nowhere near as many crazy weekend boaters, you have to be off the lake by 10:00 am or you get rocked by the traffic, all the best to ya. Nice to see you get out fishing.
i recall seeing a Japanese video where a guy did a rubbing of a fresh caught fish to show what he caught … he after added colour with water colours BUT the scales and all the rest showed u real well and looked like a perfect drawing of a fish … perhaps keeping some paper and charcoal on hand the next time and try it to see what and how to get the best rubbing of the caught fish … you could literally turn them into a scrap book as well …
.
besides gives you something to do while sitting around and waiting
SHAWN & OUR CALI !!! This is a vacation for you all it is GRAND to go on these !!! Love to go fishing !!!
👏👏👏👍🏻
Hi I have watched all your camping video,s and will you ever go out doing the camping trips with joe and Doug anymore
Hello
Brings back many memories of Ice fishing on the finger lakes in upstate New York. My brother in law and I had basically the same setup as you had even down to the green colored gas auger. We would catch jack perch and walleye and make poor man’s shrimp out of the perch. Thanks for taking the time to do these extra clips my wife and I look so forward to your post.❤
Is it tough paying for the gasoline for your toys/tools?
Haven't sledded or hiked through the Haliburton Forest in decades but miss it! I can just taste those trout. Thanks for sharing
Nice! I wanna get out after some specks again one of these days. Maybe this weekend.
Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behaviour, but "Growing money is wisdom" I heard this from someone💯•>>>>>•
A power auger!?!? I don’t think your fishing buddy is familiar with your policy on power tools on this channel! 😂
HI I SOMEHOW KNEW SHAWN WOULD GET THE FIRST CATCH OF THE DAY. I GUESS YOU WEREN'T PREPARED TO STAY OVER NIGHT. PROBABLY TOO COLD. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ESPECIALLY THE CHRISTMAS VIDEO WITH THE MUSIC IN IT AND THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERIES. THAT ONE IS A KEEPER FOR MY WATCH AGAIN VIDEOS. THANKS AND STAY SAFE ❤️ 🙏❤️🙏❤️
