A Northern Ontario trout river, seven days alone, for Lost Lakes' Jon

The July trip opened with more than 60,000 views on its first day, and its comments keep thanking Jon for keeping the valley's location to himself.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

7-Day Solo on a Spectacular Speckled Trout River

Jon went alone this time. "7-Day Solo Fishing Trip on a Spectacular Trout River" is the only new upload on Lost Lakes, the backcountry channel he shares with Erin, and it follows a July week on a river somewhere in Northern Ontario. The description gives the region and nothing more, which is exactly how his audience likes it.

The video is split into daily chapters, the way his long trips always are, and the river is brook trout water. Many of the most liked comments come back to the same few things: the decision not to name the spot, the habit of killing a fish quickly to spare it, the attention to small details like bees, grass growing through rock and a passing dragonfly. Several viewers mention Joe, a friend from earlier trips whose book turns up in this one, and a few would like to see the two travel together again.

It passed 120,000 views in five days and is easily the busiest video on the channel right now. Behind it, two older solo epics keep finding people: the 20-day, 360-kilometer run down the Albany River, now past a million views, and a ten-day winter trip in a small hot tent at minus 28.

The channel is running a little above its usual daily pace, though the subscriber count held level. Among similar outdoors channels, Big Water Guy and 402_Outdoors are having the loud weeks, while Lost Lakes sits comfortably in the middle of the group, doing what it describes in its own about text: independent, with no sponsors, only nature.
