The MOST Remote Ice Fishing Cabin I've Been To

A winning Tim Hortons cup supplies the first catch: a Boston cream donut, collected before Jay Siemens heads into the snowy wilderness with Dillon Gélinas. The lake trout require rather more traveling.

In "The MOST Remote Ice Fishing Cabin I've Been To", the pair haul their gear by snowmobile to an outpost cabin on Lake Nipigon in northwestern Ontario. Breakfast and tackle preparation come before another ride out onto the frozen lake, where they test deep water near an island. Jay releases his first trout; later, Dillon loses a fish close to the hole. Once the pop-up shelter is up, simultaneous bites make things considerably busier.

The week's sole new upload has passed 100,000 views and is drawing the channel's strongest daily audience. In the comments, viewers keep returning to a head-in-the-hole yell and the underwater footage near the end. Some are also treating the trip as preparation for their own ice-fishing season.

Jay added a thousand subscribers over the week, although daily views are running below their usual level. Among nearby outdoors channels, his weekly views sit between the larger total at OKLAHOMA OFF-GRID and the quieter week at Logan Anderson Fishing; Deer Hunting Cajuns had a particularly substantial audience.

Ice is doing much of the work across Jay's active catalogue. "Canadian Ice Fishing Road Trip!", featuring brook trout and whitefish around Wawa with Dylan Jollineau, remains busy. So does "CRAZY Saltwater Ice Fishing!?", a June outing in Rankin Inlet that gives this run of frozen-water adventures a saltwater detour.
